	Maestrale_class_frigate - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia
		Maestrale class is the most important frigate class for the Marina Militare (Italian Navy) of the late 20th century.
		Maestrale were quite bigger and heavier, so they were slower, but still capable to handle around 32 knt.
		Maestrale were more costly, both as acquisition than operational, many of third world countries were not worried about the ASW warfare as NATO was, the anti-ship firepower wasn't impressive with only four missiles, even if with two helicopters was more possible localize vessels over the horizon and fully use the OTOMAT's range.

		Although Taiwan's quest for a new class of submarines continues, the nation is in the process of gaining a powerful new capability in the form of four Kidd-class destroyers purchased from the United States.
		The first of the class was modernized and delivered to Taiwan in late 2005, and the remaining units are expected to follow by the end of 2006.
		Rather than invest in a new class, the decision to purchase the cost-effective submarines, three of which are already in service, was announced late in 2005.

	FREMM program of 27 frigates
		The new vessels are to replace the Italian Navy’s »Lupo« and »Maestrale« class frigates which were built by Italian Fincantieri Group in the 1970s.
		The new generation frigates built under the FREM programme will express the state-of-the-art of European shipbuilding and will ensure that both navies have a high degree of operational flexibility and the capacity as well as the ability to face the new challenges and threats posed by an ever changing geopolitical scenario.
		The first stage of FREMM programme was to draw up and develop, with French counterparts, in-depth comparative analyses in order to attain the highest degree of »communality«, especially with regard to the plattform, with due consideration of different operating requirements, and, consequently, of different solutions with regard to the combat system, electronics and flight component.

		Frigates are mainly used for picket patrols where you speed up a while and then slow down to use you sonar more effectively.
		Their "slow" speed (29 knots max in each case) does not prevent them from operating with the carriers at all: they are relatively fast when compared to the AOR that accompanies the battlegroup to refuel and replenish the escorts.
		The French has recently sold Croatale to the PRC Luda class destroyers, but their navy is roughly on the same level as the USN in the late 60's except for area AAW which they lack.
