Re: Type 31 Frigate (Inspiration Class) [News Only]

Some of the posts on here, seem to suggest a rush to criticise the article having just skimmed through it. We don't even know yet what missiles are going to be fitted in the T26 silos, so already rubbishing the T31 fit is unfair to say the least. For all the bleating that has been aimed at T31 for a...
