Re: Integrated Review (previously SDSR 2020)
There were once 16 Type 23 frigates, 3 were sold off in the 1990s, 2000s. So technically they should have 8 Type 26, 5 plus 3 Type 31 or 8 plus 3 Type 26s. If Type 32 is just Type 31e export, some should stay are Royal Navy frigates.

I understood that all the remaining “T Boats” were now based at Faslane. So either she is visiting her former home, or the report has been “cut and pasted” and is incorrect. Can anyone clarify? :?: When did they all move to Faslane? I'm guessing they returned to Devonport then the crew will first m...
