	Type 22 frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Type 22 Broadsword class frigates are a class of warships built for 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.
		Since then they have evolved into a general purpose frigate with weapons for use against other surface ships, aircraft and submarines.

	Type 21 frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Type 21 frigate or Amazon class frigate was a Royal Navy general-purpose escort designed in the late 1960s, built in the 1970s and that served throughout the 1980s into the 1990s.
		Many older vessels were rapidly approaching the end of their useful lives yet their replacements, the Type 42 destroyer and Type 22 frigate, would not be ready until the mid-to-late 1970s.
		They were also the first design to enter service that used solely gas-turbine propulsion (the Type 42 was designed to use this system first), as opposed to the steam turbines or diesel engines of their predecessors.

	Ships of the Royal Navy - Type 22 Frigates
		Type 22 frigates were divided into three batches, although only batches 2 and 3 remain in active service.
		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.
		However, the Type 22 does not have the same stealth-characteristics of the Type 23 and so it is likely that the Type 22 will be of more use in an escort role rather than an independent command.

	Type 22 frigate
		The Type 22 frigates were built in three batches, the latter two batches improved on the previous one.

	Royal Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The end of the Cold War with the collapse of the Soviet Union has precipitated a restructuring of the Royal Navy's role as a major naval player in the 21st century, from that of a deterrence force to a navy capable of extending British foreign policy worldwide.
		In the latter stages of the Cold War, the Royal Navy was reconfigured with three anti-submarine warfare aircraft carriers and a force of small frigates and destroyers.
		At the beginning of the 1990s, the Royal Navy was a force designed for the Cold War - with its three ASW aircraft carriers and a force of small frigates and destroyers, its purpose was to search for and destroy Soviet submarines in the North Atlantic.

	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.
		HMS Brilliant was the third of the Type 22 frigates commissioned by the Royal Navy.
		The Exocet missile launcher has been removed from the batch 2 Type 22 Frigate HMS Sheffield because the variant of the missile used by the RN is now obsolete and no longer in Naval service.

	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 HMS Campbeltown has left Devonport on a six-month deployment with a NATO maritime task group.
		Campbeltown is the third of the four Type 22 Batch 3 frigates serving with the Royal Navy and was launched 16 years ago yesterday at Birkenhead, entering service on May 27 1989.
		The Type 22 frigates are large and powerful frigates, acting as crucial components of a task group, as command ships, or as ‘singletons’, operating almost alone – a similar range of roles to the Navy’s former cruisers.

		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.

		As well as affording a huge leap in capability, the two 4,200-ton frigates would enable the Romanian Navy to achieve a far higher degree of integration and interoperability with NATO forces operating in the Black Sea and Mediterranean.
