frigate

On quick check it seems we don't have a thread on Sea Slug and it's development. Often people mention a inline boosted option instead of the wrap around boosters. Yet I seem to recall that there were worries over rocket gases causing problems with the beam rider guidance. Would be nice to...

I've searched on the net but did not found any info on these series of designs and the forum the picture hosted on was archived long ago, and google could not find it (Luckily I've saved the image and could reverse search for it) Maybe people here know more about these proposals? Also I've...

Hey Gang, Came accross the General Purpose Frigate project of the Royal Canadian Navy and thought I would post it here. This project was developed in the 1961-1963 period. The intention was to build 8 such ships which were intended as the name implies to be multi purpose frigates, but, also to...

I have finished some simple drawings of US destroyer designs from the 1960s and 1970s. The drawings are based on sketches and artist renderings found in Norman Friedman's book "US Destroyers An Illustrated Design History". I find the nuclear frigate design (Typhoon) very interesting. Fishjay

Artist's impressions from Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA), now QinetiQ, of a possible Future Surface Combatant (FSC) frigate dating to 1998. EDIT: Cutaway drawing of Future Surface Combatant removed because of larger image later in this topic. Sources...

The UK Independence Party has a new deputy leader: Christopher Monckton. As is usual with such news the party has put his impressive CV up on their website: http://www.ukip.org/content/latest-news/1675-christopher-a-man-of-many-talents However, he claims that whilst a member of Margaret...

With the Future Surface Combatant finally progressing into a more formal design project to become the Type 26 firgate, there have been a number of CGI images and articles appearing in the press recently. This is a 4 year study with the first ships due to start building in 2016 and will form the...

A thread to discuss Type 23 variants (Originally European / UK AAW projects that arose after the split in the Horizon project (I thought there already was a thread on this, but I couldn't find it), but changed to reflect actual content). Firstly, the "stretched" Type 23 proposed by Yarrow in...

http://www.defense-guide.com/navy/military-products-and-services/mekoae-csl Is there any more information about this ship around? I haven't been able to find to much.

I found a report and some artwork of the Team 1992 of the Naval Postgraduate School - Total Ship Systems Engineering on how an affordable future frigate for the US Navy might look like. They named the ship the Regional Deterence Ship (RDS). Web link to a paper written by Team 1992 of the Naval...

The Brazilian "Niteroi" class frigates started life as the Vosper Thorneycroft Mark 10 design in the late 1960s. Many years ago I was looking at a Vosper brochure and it contained a small artwork of a version of this ship armed with Seadart instead of the forward 4.5" gun. I have never been able...

This drawing appear to depict a BAE Systems design similar to the Lekiu class class built for Malaysia. Oddly, Jane's Defence Weekly mislabeled the same illustration as the DML F65, which obviously was a much larger concept, with a greatly different appearance. From the following Hungarian...

Today I found this on a Turkish website: from here: http://www.trmilitary.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=14059&start=0 What kind of project is it? Looks like a nice Type 23 follower.
