I may be a bit dense here, but surely the cheaper option is to just build more of the new Destoyers the RN have spent years developing as the base for this new ship but with a different weapons/electronics fit, rather than build from the ground up.
I believe Frigates and Destroyers can both perform pretty similar roles.
I may be talking arse here, it just seems pointless to build something from scratch when surely the infrastructure is already there with the latest Destroyer Type 45's.
Just a question, not trying to undermine th eRN.
