		The same feelings that led the Spaniards to adopt the standard of the Cross in their conquest of Mexico and Peru were present, though less openly avowed, in the minds of the merchants and adventurers of all classes and nationalities who flocked into the Indian seas in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
		In 1707 his ships attacked the _Bombay_ frigate, which was blown up after a brief engagement, and for the next half-century Angrian piracy was a scourge to the European trade of the West coast.
		With such a force much ought to have been accomplished, but throughout his tenure of office Boone's efforts were crippled by the incompetency and indiscipline of those on whom he depended to carry out his designs: while the efficiency of the ships was diminished by their employment to carry cargoes along the coast.

		These ships are the same basic design as the Portugese Navy's 3 "Vasco da Gama"-class frigates, as well the "Anzac"-class frigates built for Australia and New Zealand.
		The other three frigates, SASs Isandlwana, Spioenkop & Mendi (F146/7/8) will be handed over at six month intervals and sail to SA for final outfitting.
		As it is unlikely that all four frigates will be service simultaneously (again due to budget restraints), I'm sure that individual ships will carry two helicopters from time to time.

		You can construe a ship to be of the Lemon Meringue Pie class, if it sits in port making those for 10 years, but that has nothing to do with its class.
		Likewise the Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers and Aircraft Carriers, not to mention their helicopters did not become Astronaut Class when they were on Mercury/Gemini/Apollo recovery missions.

		With the 1980 promulgation of a directive by the Chairman of the General staff of the Armed Forces which considered an urgent priority the acquisition of three new frigates for the Navy, the Portuguese Government initiated an evaluation project for the construction of these naval ships.

		For the first time in its history, the Portuguese War Navy will possess naval units able to face a multitude of threats on the sea.

		The major classes of escorts are the Ticonderoga-class cruisers and the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.
		The EU’s frigate force clearly outclasses that of the Atlantic Fleet, both in quality (the gelded Perry-clas frigates have no real offensive capability, and a minimal point-defense capability with the Phalanx Close-in Weapons system).
		Of the frigates listed, only the Sachsen, Bazan, and Jacob Van Heemskirk-class frigates can provide area air defense, and these ships are arguably closer to destroyers.

		Considering all the Type-21 Tariq Class all have Phalanx systems installed, (bar one that has an alternative), is it not possible that these additional ones might be for the new FAC we have supposedly got with the help of Thailand?
		When I collected the data, I came to know that around 3-4 Type-21 class frigates are fitted with CIWS, not all.
		I thought the alternative CIWS on the one or more of the Tariq Class was the Sea Guard/Sea Zenith because I was told that was the same as the Turkish Navy had fitted to their Yavuz/Barbaros Class, (German Meko 200 - the same as the ANZAC, Hydra and Vasco da Gama Class').
