Re: river I/I.5 and II patrol vessels
I was under the impression that these new OPV's were going to replace the current early-batch River-class OPV's already in service, and that the modified Clyde would continue to serve as the Falkland Islands patrol ship? Is that not the case? Terrible waste, if not, but sadly it wouldn't surprise me.

Re: UK's Future T26 Frigate.
It is hoped that the T26 will eventually replace all thirteen surviving T23's on a one for one basis. But with Fallon already throwing out the typical excuses of "b-but they're three times as powerful as the ships they replace", I wonder how long it will be before the order gets cut. Heh,...
