Of course when the navy bought Manawanui they had to skimp on the useful thing because they'd overspent on useless frigates Stuff (2018): Govt buys new navy ship with remaining money after frigate blowout www.stuff.co.nz/national/pol...

More art repost time! :D A fleet of space frigates somewhere near Saturn #spaceship#illust#イラスト#scifi

For a moment, it seemed like victory might be within reach. But [wM]'s defenses held. Their frigates proved too tough, and their command too coordinated. With a devastating counter-counterattack, they crushed [MH]'s fleet, their gunships falling in fiery plumes across the islands. (7/8)For a moment, it seemed like victory might be within reach.

Just when it seemed like [MH] had the upper hand, [wM] unleashed their ace: a line of massive, heavily-armored frigates that cut through the battle like floating fortresses.

Their larger airships, bristling with cannons, turned the tide with a devastating counterattack. [MH] fought valiantly, but as [wM]’s massive frigates descended upon the resource points, [MH]’s forces were slowly overwhelmed.

[MH], outnumbered but crafty, had one goal: cut off [wM]’s access to the floating islands and cripple their supply lines. [MH] laid a brilliant trap. They lured [wM]’s fleet away from the strategic resource points by feigning weakness, drawing their massive carriers and frigates into a chase.

Weakness indeed. For years Denmark had one frigat surveilling the largest island in the world. Scandal broke out this year. The frigates míssil system had been out of order for years. There will be changes but it will take time. True story.

Their airships, lumbering but packed with firepower, began to crush [MH]’s lighter forces. Desperate to hold key positions, [MH] fought fiercely, but [wM]'s massive airship carriers, now reinforced by frigates, overwhelmed the smaller ships.

there's a book a la "six frigates" somewhere in here. terrific writing, impeccable research, and modern applications!

Q - Thoughts on Belgian navy possibly acquiring a den-helder class lss or another aswf A - A third frigate would be welcome as it allows for year round deployments but I would rather stick to procuring a third ASWF class just to standardise training across the frigates.
