Ships have a service life.

Yes they do but a five year service life is a little short. Tax payer is left holding the bag. I wonder if they ever considering selling the ships to a friendly government.

These were “special”. It was a flawed concept from the beginning, executed badly.

I doubt any government wants these hulls. They would inherit mechanical and structural problems, and it seems that they are ill-designed to be fitted out as small frigates.
