“$800M for a frigate. Wow.”

A lot of money for a ship that among other things, is intended to take torpedoes to save carriers.

Just kidding, I’m old, and I’m sure roles have changed.

Technically, that’s what the decoys they carry are supposed to do. They were *also* supposed to be carrying anti-torpedo torpedoes but that program was abruptly cancelled a couple months ago.

It’s amazing that a ship costs close to billion and the politically correct crews are ill trained.
