148 meters long with a width of 19 meters, the building displays a displacement of about 5400 tons.Capable of exceeding a speed of 28 knots and cross 7000 miles at 15 knots, the future British frigate is designed to have a very large range, 60 days without refueling. Army by 118 sailors, it can accommodate 72 passengers. Its armament include a surface-to-air Sea Ceptor, an artillery piece at the front, two guns multitubes type Phalanx guns and two tele-operated as well as torpedoes and possibly anti-ship missiles. The radar should be a main ARTISAN 3D.
