	Loch class frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lochs were based upon the hull of the preceding River class with increased sheer and flare to improve seakeeping and modified to suit it to mass pre-fabrication, with sections rivetted or welded together at the shipyard.
		Loch Arkaig and Loch Tralaig were fitted with Parsons single reduction steam turbines to establish the feasability of such an installation, but it was not possible to provide enough sets of turbines for all vessels.
		Loch Assynt and Loch Torridon were modified whilst under construction to depot ships for coastal forces, armed with a twin QF 4 inch Mark XVI on a single mounting Mark XIX forward and six single 20 mm Oerlikons.

		A voluntary Code of Conduct for the loch was introduced in the 1990’s, and the evidence tends to support the contention by water skiers and other powered craft users, that the majority of users of the loch abide by them.
		There is, however, say the Group, much which is positive and commendable in the Park Plan, especially the view that Loch Eck should be reserved for the purpose of quiet recreation, but there is a feeling that the report is heavy on aspirations but lacking in practical measures to achieve such aims.
		The effectiveness of the voluntary code of conduct for Loch Eck is being monitored and reviewed in terms of minimising damaging impacts on the Special Qualities and conflicts between activities.
