Costruzione delle fregate per uso generale della Royal Navy: aggiornamento del programma Type 31

A really good look at the Type 31 Frigate programme for the Royal Navy, which is starting to ramp up in terms of production.

These will replace the general purpose Type 23 Frigates, of which only HMS Iron Duke remains in service.

They’ll add a significant increase in capability for the Royal Navy in this respect

I’d also note this

>The first two vessels will undergo the upgrades, primarily the fitting of Mk 41 VLS cells at some point after acceptance by the RN. The intention is that ships 3-5 will be upgraded during the build process.

That confirms that they will receive the Mk.41 VLS
