As u said our navy is a small one... Every possible advantage
should be added without hesitation to our navy, including stealth
technology for all surface units. If our Victory class FSGs are to
escort the Formidable FFGs in a task force, an enemy force should
be alerted of our ships' presence due to the larger radar signature
of the Victory class. Moreover the Victory class was never really a
satisfactory combatant despite holding the fort for over 15
years... Top heaviness and a reportedly weak ASW capability are 2
of the weaknesses I shall highlight, others being unsuitable for
posting here.
The Saar 5 or an enlarged Visby class would be an ideal replacement
for the Victory class, preferably one for one too as in the case of
the frigates.
