	Type 22 (Broadsword Class) Frigate
		With the priority given to the Type 42, the Type 21 was brought in as a stopgap measure, and work on the Type 22 proceeded slowly.
		The first of class (HMS Broadsword) was eventually laid down in February 1975, with the others proceeding at yearly intervals.
		However, the Falklands conflict saw Brilliant and Broadsword assigned as close escorts to the carriers Hermes and Invincible.

	Royal Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Three planned units of the Hood class of battlecruiser and a class of 16-inch battlecruisers and 18-inch battleships - the G3 and N3 classes respectively - were cancelled.
		New additions to the fleet were therefore minimal during the 1920's, the only major new vessels being the two units of the Nelson class of battleships and fifteen heavy cruisers of the County and York classes.
		In the latter stages of the Cold War, the Royal Navy was reconfigured with three anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft carriers and a force of small frigates and destroyers.

		The Hunt class destroyer designed prior to WWII was a scaled down destroyer specifically for convoy escort duties, the main difference between the Black Swan and the Hunt was speed, the Hunt destroyer had a 10 Knot advantage over the Black Swan.
		The word Frigate probably has it's origins from the Mediterranean where it is pronounced "Fregata" and may be a corruption of "Fabricata" (construction), "Fr" (preface to indicate a vessel) and "pakros" (unguarded), it was used to identify flush deck oared galleys.
		The name Frigate died out largely in the age of iron and steam and was replaced with "Cruiser." It was not until WWII that the class name was revived to describe a long range Escort vessel.

	Navy Matters \| Type 45 Section
		The main mission of Horizon frigates is to provide air-defence escort for a carrier battle group led by a Charles de Gaulle type aircraft carrier, or for a group of unarmed or lightly-armed ships, such as an amphibious or a mine-hunting force.
		The one criticism of the class was that they seemed under-armed for their size and cost, and so the Exocet missile system was installed on all ships after the first three, and those would be fitted with it at there mid-life refits (although Antelope was sunk during the Falklands conflict).
		The Type 22 frigates are among the most successful warships built for the Royal Navy since 1945, but there continued evolution has led to a ship that is probably closer to a cruiser or destroyer (in terms of capability and cost) than a simple frigate, particularly in their weapons fit.

	Broadsword FF: A LEGO® creation by Jim McDonald : MOCpages.com
		After the success of the Vengeance class corvettes, the attention of the GTDF designers turned to the creation of heavier warships fitted out with the necessary protection and armament required to slug it out with the major warships of its opponents.
		The first class of warships that were built to this requirement was the seven vessels of the powerful Broadsword class.
		Equipped with considerable weaponry, including a powerful railcannon and four torpedo tubes, and multi-layered defences, the Broadswords have proven to be excellent warships, well laid out and packing enough punch to send any similar sized vessel running.
