Type 26 frigate

Gebaut werden sie auf der BAE Systems-Werft Govan in Glasgow. The Type will be an adaptable, powerful and flexible frigate with a wide array of cutting edge sensors and weapons designed to help it effectively and efficiently meet the evolving mission requirements inherent to modern warfare. Ships feature bow and towed array sonar, Sea Ceptor air defence missiles, and a 5in main gun. Vessels will protect the UK’s nuclear deterrent and the navy’s new aircraft carriers.

Assuming, that is, that the U. BAE’s initial order includes nine MK modules, sufficient for the first three ships of the class. Faced with the reality that a force of ships was unaffordable, and with no additional funding, the RN instead turned to a compromise that it has done several times since WWfor its frigate force. Here we take an overview of this very technical subject. Idling along at knots, the Type is believed to have a range of about 1000km — or an endurance of days. The quiet propulsion system that limits noise radiated from the ship is a key part of its ability to detect submarines.


Type frigates are 60ft longer and 000t heavier than their predecessors. The award is the result of a four-way contest that included variants of the Dutch De Zeven Provinciën-class frigate. The construction of these warships, also known as. There has been more than one Frigate to be structurally damaged traversing the Great Southern Ocean.


Type 3 And possibly not suitable for the Great Southern Ocean in Hydro graphic terms. The GSO has a rather hard effect on ships, especially small ones. All of the Type 26s will be based at Devonport Naval Base, with the first three vessels being manufactured by BAE Systems as part of a £3.


The last HMS Edinburgh was a Type destroyer which entered service in. In less than a year, the Type has vaulted from a small, also-ran program to the leading contender in the international surface combatants market. The site is where the defence giant is building the first.

Three clocks labelled Ottawa, Glasgow and Adelaide sit on the wall of a meeting room at BAE Systems’ Govan shipyard on the River Clyde. But the commitment of both BAE Systems and the MoD to producing the most versatile vessel possible to replace the long-serving Type frigate is one thing that is certain not to waver. I would also not put it past the UK to put Type 31e into the secondhand market, especially if shortage of sailors means that Type get priority in operational deployments. London’s Type Global Combat Ship program calls for the delivery of eight vessels for use as an anti-submarine warfare ship and will replace the current fleet of Type frigates. The Type will be the most advanced ship in its class around the world and we are exploring potential export opportunities where there is strong interest from.


Maybe assembly at Appledore instead wiil allow other work to take place at Govan unhindered. Of cause, Govan maybe the ideal place to manufacture sections of warships! Its flexible design will allow its weapon systems to be adapted throughout its lifespan to counter future threats. This is the kit version of the model.

Political sensitivities. Type Frigates are to be assembled uncovered at Govan. Honestly I can't see how the Type became so expensive but the reduction in build numbers must have something to do with it.


On that count alone, the Type deserves a nomenclatural promotion, especially when. The Type Global Combat Ship will be a world-class anti-submarine warfare ship. Globally deployable, the flexible mission bay, aviation facilities and combat systems ensure it will be capable of undertaking a wide range of roles from high intensity warfare to humanitarian assistance, either operating independently or as part of a task group.
