  Type 23 frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Type 23 frigate is a class of frigate serving with the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom.
The first Type 23 was commissioned in 1989, and the sixteenth, HMS St Albans was launched in May 2000 and commissioned in June 2002.
The Type 23 was initially conceived as an anti-submarine warfare platform, with a Westland Lynx or EHI Merlin helicopter and a towed array sonar, to replace the Leander-class frigate.

The Type 23 frigate is a true child of the Falklands War, as it represented the first occasion in which the painful lessons of the South Atlantic could be applied to a new class of ship.
Type 23 frigates were the first ships designed for the Royal Navy as stealth vessels, and as such, 'signature reduction' - the elimination of as much noise, heat and reflection as possible - was an important factor in the shape of the hull and installation of machinery.
Type 23 frigates now operate worldwide as singletons - on their own, maybe with just a small Fleet tanker for support - but can just as easily be called in to act as a close escort for a task group.

 Type 42
The Type 42 destroyer was developed as a smaller and less expensive alternative to the massive Type 82 destroyer [of which only one was built] that could be built in sufficient numbers to replace the entire Royal Navy destroyer fleet which was heading for block obsolescence in the late 1970's.
Otherwise, the primary change from the Type 82 was the deletion of the Ikara ASW missile and the Limbo ASW mortar, and the addition aft hangar flight deck and helicopter.
The new Type 45 Destroyers are expected to be cheaper to operate and support than the Type 42s, although the cost of individual spares are likely to be slightly higher.

 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.
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.
Despite the various technical and political problems that have surrounded the Type 23 frigate, the final ship is a well balanced design but also an excellent anti-submarine platform.
