Was this concept related to the Australian Navy's Air Warfare Destroy (AWD) program?

Yes, I believe a version of the Internaitonal Frigate was the G&C offer for AWD.

PS: You know you did this same picture a couple of years ago...

Of possible interest, a paper on naval applications of cryo-cooled motors. If uses the G&C International Frigate as a case study for the potential weight savings of cryo-cooled motors in an all-electric propulsion system.

Epic facepalm. :'( I have been searching for information concerning the Gibbs & Cox frigate concept presented to the United States Navy as replacement for the Perry-class.

Thank you, TomS.

Possibly the same Advanced Frigate derived from the FFG-7 that G&C designed for Taiwan?

I came across this not too long ago while digging into the Greek frigate program. It looks like Gibbs retained the Australian AWD design proposal and gave it a nice makeover.

To the contrary, it’s a smaller, narrower design. 144m long,16.8m beam and 6000MT. The Australian proposal was 148mm long, 21.2m beam and more like 8000+ tons
