So are you saying these four new ASW Frigates will be part of a network including high end Air Defence platforms like the four Dutch LCF and will become additional magazines for these vessels? Maybe we could do the same with our planned T-32, teaming them with the T-45 and T-26, even maybe the Carriers. IT should be a no brainer for the Royal Navy to have its Carrier Task Forces networked but it requires the powers that be to actually have at least one brainer between them.
I still think we should buy six to eight of these new Dutch/Belgian MCVs for operations in home waters or like we are doing in the Gulf at the moment. Build the "Tool Boxes" in the UK and make them compatible with the Mission Bay on the T-26 and planned Multi mission Ships for example. This would give us both a expeditionary mine warfare capability and a mine defence capability for naval yards and key maritime choke points.
