	Tribal class frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Type 81, or the Tribal class, was a class of seven general-purpose frigates, the first of the Royal Navy.
		The Tribals were designed during the 1950s due to the increasing cost of having single-role vessels such as the Type 14s.
		The class were still good warships despite their cost, proving the usefulness of the general purpose frigate, a type of frigate type that can now be seen in the modern Type 22 and Type 23s.

		The outcome of the design study was the Type 81 (Tribal class) Frigate and the first of the new class was ordered in February 1956, despite the design not being finalised until February 1957.
		With the introduction of new frigate classes and the run down in naval strength, they were relegated to first the Standby Squadron and then listed for ultimate disposal in the 1981 Defence Review, Ashanti having been mothballed in 1979 and Tartar, the last operational ship of the class, being decommissioned in December 1980.
		Although there were rumours that Venezuela was interested in buying some of the class, the deal never materialised and it's a shame that the modernisation could not have gone forward with the ships being retained in Royal Navy service as the ships had been relegated to disposal well before the end of their useful lives.

		The class were better armed than many previous classes, with two 4.5 inch (110 mm) guns, and also later, three of the class were armed with the Seacat missile launcher.
		The ships were still rather small, at 360 ft (110 m), which prevented much modernisation, and all were decommissioned from the Royal Navy during the 1970s, the manpower crisis also attributing to the removal of the class from service with the Royal Navy.

	History of the Frigate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Type 81 Tribal class frigate appeared as a general purpose frigate designed to operate in the warmer waters of the Gulf and Far East where the submarine threat was not so all consuming as in the Atlantic.
		Although classed as a frigate they were more properly a Sloop or Corvette, they were true to the Loch class in that they were largely pre-fabricated, but that made them expensive for what they were.
		The specialist air Frigates were discontinued, the General Purpose Tribal class did not meet the NATO requirements of the Royal Navy and the Type 14 was too specialised an anti submarine ship.

	Type 21 (Amazon Class) Frigate (UK)
		The Amazon class frigate was one of the two main classes of frigate in service with the Royal Navy during the 1980s.
		The Type 42 destroyers were at a very early stage of development, as was their sister ships the Type 22 frigates (to replace the Leander class (Type 12M)), and so a large gap was threatening to open up in the Royal Navy's modern fleet escort surface vessels.
		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 their mid-life refits (although Antelope was sunk during the Falklands conflict).

	TRIBAL class frigate
		The original design of these relatively small general purpose frigates went through a number of revisions before the ships themselves arrived on the scene.
		In RN parlance of the time, they were called "Sloops" to avoid the conotations that the term "frigate" carried as being a single purpose design.
		They carried one-half of the COSAG plant installed in the COUNTY class, and therefore acted as prototypes for this powerplant.

		The third submarine of the class, the Weller, was commissioned on 10 July; the fifth, the Sheean, was launched on 1 May, and the sixth and final submarine, the Rankin, is to be launched this May. The Sheean and the fourth submarine, the Dechaineux, are to be given an interim--but expensive--upgrade before entering active service.
		The second and third 2,180-ton Jiangwei-II-class frigates, with the Chinese version of the French Crotale Modulaire point-defense surface-to-air missile system, were to have been completed during 1999, with the fifth to have launched and a sixth building.
		Of the latter class, the Gelibolu (ex-USS Reid [FFG-30]) was transferred on 1 January 1999, the Gökçeada (ex-USS Mahlon S. Tisdale, [FFG-27]) arrived in Turkey on 27 September, and the USS John A. Moore (FFG-19) is to be transferred this year to complete a sextet of the class in Turkish service.

	Type 81 (Tribal Class) Frigate (UK)
		The class was named after the 'Tribal' class destroyers that had served with distinction in the Second World War.
		All ships had two single 20mm guns mounted on each beam just forward of the bridge that could be used in peacetime or low intensity conflict situations where the use of the main guns or Seacat missiles might be inappropriate.
		This was a lesson learnt in the Indonesian Confederation in 1962 - 3 where many patrolling frigates had found that they had no effective armament to engage small boats and fishing vessels used for gun-running.

		This requirement was partly fulfilled by the Tribal Class, although these vessels had insufficient armament and speed to act in an escort role and were consequently employed mainly in the Far East and at foreign stations.
		Whilst the hull and machinery of the Whitby Class and Rothesay Class Type 12 frigates remained largely unchanged, the superstructure was redesigned as a single block and incorporated a helicopter hanger.
		In October 1974 Ajax and the Rothesay Class frigate Rhyl rescued 250 British citizens from Cyprus in the wake of the Turkish invasion.

		The Leander is generally known as a General Purpose Frigate, though her actual classification was Antisubmarine, they proved to be superb sea keepers and generally reliable.
		The hull design was used by the Australians in their “River Class” ships and a larger version of the Leander intended as an escort ship became the Type 82 Cruiser Bristol, later re-classified as a Destroyer when the class was cancelled.

	Leander Type 12
		The "Leander" class of general-purpose frigates were an improvement of the Type 12 "Whitby" and "Rothesay" class of anti-submarine ships.
		These general purpose frigates completed the change from the previous pattern of special purpose frigates which had dominated since the 1951 construction programme, and which had started with the Tribal class.
		This class of general purpose frigates has proved enormously successful with 26 'Leanders' commissioned at one time by the Royal Navy, Australia, India and the Netherlands built the type under license, and Chile and New Zealand have bought some of the 'Leanders' as they were retired from the Royal Navy.

	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.

		The Tribal Class were designed with self contained service in the Far East, West Indies and Persian Gulf in mind and accordingly were fitted with air conditioned accommodation, cafeteria messing and all bunk sleeping.
		Of the four other Tribal Class frigates, three were sunk as missile or torpedo targets and one was sold for scrap.

		Only 28 Loch class ships were completed as Loch class frigates and a further 19 finished as the Bay class.
		The lattice mast, such a notable feature of this class of ship is assembled from etched brass in four parts for simple assembly.

		Their bishops and priests were classed as felons, a price set on their heads, and an incredible number of both clergy and people who adhered loyally to the religion of their forefathers were either put to the sword or hanged, drawn, and quartered.
		As a result of the activities of these associations, Irish Catholics in many parts of the country, almost alone among all classes of the population, were subjected to insult and oppression and were made the victims of mob violence, their dwellings demolished, their families made homeless, their churches and convents fired, and their clergy ill-treated.
		Although the number of such societies and their membership were comparatively small, yet they served as rallying-points for the maintenance of the spirit of Irish nationality, and as centres of the charitable activity of their members.
