Another 60s RN mystery ship is the Type 19 frigate.
Although the published sources go into great detail about the
development of the ship and even give an indication of the
numbers to be built, the only drawings in Brown/Moore are
of ships derived from the Type 19 design in the 1966 Working
Party papers.
Since this ship would have been the primary RN frigate to replace
the Leander class on the production line in plans up until 1965/6
it is odd that so little exists about the design in plan or sketch
form.
