Mystery Frigate drawing on Converteam Webpage

Mystery solved:

According to RP1, it might be a stretched Type 45 proposal for the early FSC requirement. Assuming the helicopter is an EH101, the drawing depicts a ship between 167 and 172 meters long. The size of the Sampson radome and RAM launcher would indicate a ship of this large size.

“Thanks Wan”
“You’re welcome”

Actually, the link Wanshan posted is the incorrect link… here is the link to where that drawing is on Richard’s site… and it does credit MihoshiK (drawing & credit 2/3 down the page).

Oops! Corrected it. Though CNGF was where I first started.

Well In that case I apologize the inconvidience,
thougth I did get you dig out the correct link didn’t I? One battle won in the war…

Neither of the link nor the post indicates the Drawings orginal author which is MihoshiK, one of the founders of the bucket.

… If you are not sure wheter a Shipbucket drawing is adequately credit, then DONT POST it onwards to make the copyrigth violation even worse..:mad::mad: These things are not to be taken ligthly.

Best way to get reach of our job is to link yourself to Our main site
Direct linking pictures from the actuall collection is the safest way as then one can have good conscience that the orginal artist gets the credit he deserves.

AGAIN, when using shipbucket images, DO NOT take away the credits of the orginal artist from the images:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I just looked, the image is directly linked from Navy matters. Can you PLEASE check this stuff out before you start complaining? he posted the link below the image as a reference.

Either that or take it up with Richard Beedal.

It does indeed look like a Seahawk. This looks like the proposal put forward to the RAN by the British team for the Australian AWD- a design that was rejected as it hadn’t been built nor tested when we selected the winner- having said that, look how fast the Type 45’s are coming on line now! This would explain the Seahawk aft.

Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, the helicopter on deck looks like an SH-60.

I corrected the aspect ratio and increased the size, and it appears that this drawing does not represent any know frigate proposal.

Any clue what it represents?

Appearance is similar (not identical) to middle ship in row below, which is a land-atack version of Type 45.

Looks a lot like the design that BAE christened the MVD or Medium Vessel Derivative.

Essentially a sawn-off T45 that BAE were pushing for the Future Surface Combattant project. This was circa 2003-ish, IIRC, when that project was still looking for a direct like-for-like frigate replacement for T23 predating the whole S2C2 study and its C1-3 structure.

Watch the naval transition video on this page.

Rolls Royce has an interesting design in its promotional propulsion videos as well that I have never seen anywhere.
