sorry my point being that for the money I.E. 200 million dollars any new frigate they buy will be little more than a toothless show pony. You are right when you say that a OPV is not a war fighting ship in the toe to toe sense. However I feel what 8 high end OPV’s would bring to the PN over 2 low end Frigate is more eyes and ears and a bigger presence. In my dig around the web it looks like the PN is looking for 2 new Frigates and more 2 second hand which makes no sense in as mach as they will have to operate 2 types it would make more sense in my mind to buy 4 or 5 second hand OHP class with the 400 million and then buy as many new OPV’s with the money you were going to send on the second hand frigates.
