Yet again, most impressive.

Forget Canada, the USA should look at these frigates instead of the Little Crappy ships the navy has had their heart set on.

Recommissioning the eight Oliver Hazard Perry ships is a good stop gap.

But these seem like excellent replacements.

Well, It’s not a slam dunk. That’s a lot of money and a generation of jobs being spent and used out of the country.

OK Rant time.

There is trend to be inconsistent in radar classification.

The NATO system Alphabetical (A-M) going from from low frequency/long wavelength to high frequency/short wave length
In this system L band would be a superultra high frequency short range radar

The older descriptive system were L-band is long wavelength, S is Short, C is a compromise between the two, X is very short wavelenfght
I band is very long wave length which would require antenna 10s of metres across to discriminate targets,

What I am sayingn-Pick one classification system and stick to it.

This ship has L-band (long range) search radar and X-band (crosshair) missile fire control radar
