Re: Type 31 Frigate (Inspiration Class) [News Only]
Good news, although not unexpected after the recent signing of the Poland-Ukraine-UK security pact. After a 25+ year hiatus, the Type 26 and 31 designs have re-established the UK's credibility in the international marketplace as a provider of new rather than just second-hand ex-RN warships.
