A nice looking ship - F101


The Spanish Navy 100 Class Frigate ALVARO DE BAZAN (F101)
A web comment:
Definitely looks like a good coastal defence ship, pretty good range, and speed. Good air defence missiles, and good anti-ship missiles. Definitely a ship to be reckoned with, also it looks like a stealth ship, I wonder if it has some limited steath capabilites?

yeah they are Brooke, this one is a Spanish design which Australia will buy & build 4-5.

The American version was also under consideration. It had an extra helicopter and greater range than the F100.

But for whatever reason we are getting the Spanish design.

G'day,

The Spanish F100 exists. The American design is just that, a design. The Navy is getting three AWD ships which
with their AEGIS system should be able to shoot out anything out of the sky. But whats even more impressive is the new LHDs. If we can get some VSTOL versions of the F-35s they can evn double up as aircraft carriers. Have a look at this:
