	Type 23 frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Type 23 frigate is a class of warship serving with the Royal Navy, also known as the Duke class.
		The Type 23 was initially conceived as anti-submarine warfare platform, with a Lynx or EH-101 Merlin helicopter and a towed-array sonar, intended to replace the frigates of the Leander class.
		HMS Westminster was used for the Type 23 interior shots in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies in three different roles as HMS Chester, HMS Devonshire and HMS Bedford.

	Type 22 frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Type 22 Broadsword class frigates are a class of warships built for the Royal Navy.
		Fourteen of the class have been built, however only four, all Batch 3 ships, remain in service with the Royal Navy.
		The Type 22 was designed to be a specialist anti-submarine warfare vessel as part of the Royal Navy's contribution to NATO.

	Type 22 Broadsword frigate
		The Type 22 frigates are among the most successful warships built for the Royal Navy since 1945, but their continued evolution 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.
		Two of the Batch 1 frigates (HMS BROADSWORD and HMS BRILLIANT) served with distinction in the Falkland's war and HMS BRILLIANT was the subject of a BBC documentary shortly before she was decommissioned.
		HMS Brilliant was the third of the Type 22 frigates commissioned by the Royal Navy.

	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).

		The egg-shaped pod on the underside of the ship contained its mobile suit hanger and catapult, and could be detached for use as an atmospheric re-entry capsule.
		One Laurasia class frigate, the Gamow, was assigned to the Le Creuset team and escorted the flagship Vesalius until a battle with the Earth Alliance's 8th Fleet.
		The Laurasia class is named for one of the two supercontinents which was formed after the breakup of Pangaea.

	All Wood Wings: Frigates: FF-1052 USS Knox Class Frigates - quality ship models crafted from wood
		Accordingly the mission of the Knox class was altered to ASW Escort from that of a general escort.
		The Knox class has the distinction of being the last destroyer type ships built for the US Navy which were equipped with boiler and steam propulsion.
		Frigates resemble destroyers in appearance; but they are slower, have only a single screw, and carry less armament.

	Leander Class General Purpose Frigate ( Type 12 Improved)
		The 1951 frigate programme resulted in four types of specialised frigate: anti submarine (Type 12), anti-aircraft (Type 41), aircraft direction (Type 61) and utility (Type 16).
		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.

	Type 22 (Broadsword Class) Frigate
		Top priority was given to the design of an air defence escort vessel, and the result was the Type 42 destroyer, the first of which was HMS Sheffield.
		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.
		Although the original intention was to build a large number of Type 22s, the 1981 Defence White Paper cut the programme back as they were deemed too expensive, and only one more was to be added to the six already approved by the time of the White Paper.

	Type 22 frigate
		The Type 22 frigates were built in three batches, the latter two batches improved on the previous one.
		Intended to replace LEANDER class frigates, the early Type 22 ships were primarily designed for the antisubmarine role.
		The Type 967/968 radar antenna is atop the forward mast, with the Type 910 fire control radar at the foot of that mast.

		The Type 053H2 (Jianghu-III class) is a radical upgraded variant of the Type 053H1, and is generally regarded as the most capable variant of Jianghu class.
		The combat doctrines of the PLA Navy at the time emphasised merely on the spiritual power and bravery of the crew, while the standard of living condition onboard was regarded as both unnecessary and having negative influence on the morale of the crew.
		In addition, the Type 053H2 was also the first Chinese frigate fitted with a combat data system to integrate various sensors and weapon systems onboard, thus increasing the combat effectiveness of the ship.

	LEANDER class
		This eliminated the Type 12's separate water-ballast trim tanks and permitted the relocation of heavy equipment in their stead low in the ship.
		The Leander class never had a frigate type number, in particular not “Type 12M.” Type-numbering of new designs was functionally irrelevant after the RN abandoned the mobilization strategy in 1954.
		The Type 965 air-search radar, a major advance over the Type 12 design, was jocularly called 'the key,' as in a clockwork-driven toy.

		In this matchup, the smaller Jiangwei class simply outguns the Knox class frigates, which is a dedicated ASW platform.
		A number of the frigates were leased from the US, while others were purchased outright, to augment the deep-water ASW capabilities of the ROCN, which is critical to the maintenance the life-sustaining shipping lines around the island.
		The Jianghu class frigate is the older generation of frigates currently serving in large numbers with the PLAN.

		The First Lieutenancy of a frigate demands a good disciplinarian, and, every way, an energetic man. By the captain he is held responsible for everything; by that magnate, indeed, he is supposed to be omnipresent; down in the hold, and up aloft, at one and the same time.
		In frigates, and all large ships of war, when getting under weigh, a large rope, called a _messenger_ used to carry the strain of the cable to the capstan; so that the anchor may be weighed, without the muddy, ponderous cable, itself going round the capstan.
		For upon a frigate's quarter-deck, it is not enough to sport a coat fashioned by a Stultz; it is not enough to be well braced with straps and suspenders; it is not enough to have sweet reminiscences of Lauras and Matildas.

		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.
		The Leander Class required excessive manpower to operate compared to the new Duke Class Frigates entering service, and this was at a time when the navy was suffering a manpower shortage.

	Type 23 (Duke Class) Frigate (UK)
		The Type 22 frigates are among the most successful warships built for the Royal Navy since 1945, but their 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.
		What was needed was a smaller more modest design that could back up the Type 22s and provide the numbers required for the Royal Navy to maintain their out-of-area commitments.
		The ship now began to approach the Type 22 for cost and complexity and these were not yet the last changes that would be made.

	Broadsword Class Type 22 Frigates
		The design of the Type 22 was a follow on from the successful Leander Class, sharing amongst other things the same basic hull design.
		Despite these similarities the Type 22 heralded many firsts for the Royal Navy: they were the first warships completed to a metric specification, the first to not to carry a gun and have missiles alone as the principle armament.
		Public opinion led to the ninth and tenth units being named Sheffield and Coventry in honour of the Type 42's lost in the Falklands, while for the four batch three vessels names beginning with C were chosen.

	Evolution of the ASHEVILLE class of Patrol Gunboats
		Putting new engines in the PGM 39 class would increase its speed to 21 knots on trial, 19 sustained, and would give it an endurance of 1,000 miles at 12 knots.
		As for cost, the BuShips studies showed that it would not be too expensive to achieve 22 knots and a bit more range in a conventional PGM, with 40mm and single 0.50-caliber guns, 81mm mortars and Redeye missiles.
		The rest of the battery was standard: a single 40mm gun right aft and two single 0.50cal machine gun mounts (Ready and some of her sister ships were later converted to carry missles)..

		This, without regard to the tonnage, was then called a "light cruiser." The Japanese therefore immediately planned a class of ships, just as large as the "heavy" cruisers, but with fifteen 6 inch guns, in triple turrets, instead of ten 8 inch guns, in double turrets.
		The class of 1910, when the Kongô and Hiei were planned, survives today in the battleship Texas, as strange to modern eyes as a dinosaur, on public view at the San Jacinto Battlefield, outside Houston, Texas.
		The AJ "Savage" (later designated the A-2), a twin propeller bomber, could operate off of the Midway class carriers, but an even larger plane was required and envisioned at the time.
