FREMMs – though particularly in the FREDA variant being quite capable air defence platforms too – are ASW specialist hulls, so very good at this sort of thing.

Amusingly, this is the same frigate which the US :
1. Selected as the basis for their new FF-X programme because it was a mature and capable design
2. Fucked around with constant design changes to the point where it was a completely new, very expensive ship
3. Cancelled because it was now a very expensive ship
So they’re back to the drawing board (again) and still don’t have a functioning ship design, let alone a construction program under way.

FFS, just get something that will do the job and has space for upgrades, why they needs to fuck about so much I don’t know. Too many cooks.
