Utopia Talk / Politics / The US Navy's next frigate

The U.S. Navy has confirmed its decision to acquire a new FF(X) frigate with a design based on the U.S. Coast Guard’s Legend class National Security Cutter, though there are immediate questions about its expected configuration. The new warships, the first of which is set to be launched in 2028, are intended to fill the gap left by the cancellation of the abortive Constellation class frigate program.

This is fine. It'll cost less than designing a new frigate that's already obsolete, too.

All you need now is something to fill holes while you figure out naval drone strategy.

Anyone want to take a guess as to who it's going to be named after? :)

Should be named after Charlie Kirk

Nah. Way too small a vessel. See what capital ships are due for commissioning before end of term.

No vls? What's the point of them then?

Can't defend themselves or contribute meaningfully to strike.

they will look nice

Trump says he will be involved in the design (makes total sense) & repeatedly has complained about ships not looking pleasing enough

They will clear the oceans of lightly armed pirates.

"What's the point of them then?"

Sinking subs, long range patrol, training, sinking Venezuelan tankers, landing seals, all the baby stuff you don't task a real warship for but still do need reasonable length and mass for comfortable open ocean sailing at speed. Navies have successfully employed medium-light ships in this roll for at least 300 years. As long as we have no more than 5 to 10, that's fine.
