The Type 32 frigate has been split from this topic as it seems to be more than just a Type 31 derivative. This topic is now solely focused on the Type 31.

RBSL website states the LEP Challengers will be known as Challenger 3. Not seen any British Army or government sources to suggest that’s what it’s name will be in service but it seems to be what RBSL is going with.
