Type 24 & Type 25 Frigates (Cancelled Projects) (RN)
Type 24 & Type 25 Frigates (Cancelled Projects) (RN)
^ Type 24 Frigate
Introduction
Type 24 : Cheap frigate design ("Future Light Frigate") intended for export. In RN service would have served as a towed array ASW ship. Not built.
Type 25 : More capable development of the Type 24, designed to have almost the capability of a Type 22 but at only three-quarters of the cost. Much of the thinking, including the diesel-electric machinery, went into the Type 23. Not built.

For a ship from before the silo launched era (in RN, others were doing it) looks very impressive.
Ever-lasting truths: Multi-year budgets/ planning by necessity have to address the painful questions; more often than not the Either-Or prevails over Both-And.
