Do you not think this is the way Navy’s across the world are going though? Frigates and Destroyers are getting so big these days and the Corvette/Light frigate/Littoral ships becoming more prevalent again. With the type 26’s and 45’s we will have 14 large surface combatants more than enough when you compliment them with 5-10 small but very capable frigates like the BMT Venator 110.

The important thing however is cost these ships have to come in at a lower cost and be cheaper to operate or it will be a wasted effort.
