Royal Navy frigates in the 70s
The saga of the Royal Navy's carriers after 1966 has been the main focus of interest here, but the workhorse of the RN then as now was the frigate. By the 1970s the RN had plans to replace its Type 12 Leander class frigates with the larger all missile armed Type 22. Leanders were designed...- uk 75

PXM -- A modern subchaser for the USN
A few months ago, I posted a thread on a briefing with several more or less obscure frigate concepts for the USN. One of the designs included in that brief is the PXM, which I described at the time as a rabbit hole. This thread is my attempt to chase that rabbit as far as I can go, starting from...- TomS

HMS Hermes as Sea Control Ship
The saga of HMS Hermes is well known. But it might have been different if the RN had followed the US example and kept her as an ASW carrier or interim Sea Control Ship. The US were introducing the S3 Viking on to their attack carriers but were keen to get as many to sea as possible. HMS Hermes...- uk 75

US Navy Escort ships in the 60s and 70s
Reading the excellent Friedman books on US Destroyers and US Cruisers as well as the History of the Spruance class-Electronic Greyhounds-forgot the author I am always fascinated by the range of options which the US Navy might have had in the 60s and 70s if there had been no Vietnam War to force...- uk 75

NFR-90 and other Pre-Horizon AAW Projects
