INFOGRAPHICS #46: The frigate candidates for the Hellenic Navy's new frigate program
Written by D-Mitch
This post includes the graphs of the frigate candidates for the Hellenic Navy's new frigate program based on publicly available information. For those who are aware of the Greek program, the Hellenic Navy’s frigate program amounts to €5 billion, and includes the construction of four (4) new frigates, the upgrade of the existing four MEKO-200HN (Hydra-class) frigates, the provision of interim solution ships (at least two major surface combatants) and provides for co-production projects in order to strengthen local shipyards (source). Where OPTION indicates extra equipment which is under discussion between the provider, the shipbuilder, and the Hellenic Navy (HN). Some of the options are already included in the offer to the Navy but in order to be fair, they have been highlighted as well. Some sources also vary in their reports about offered equipment. So, think of them as.. extras to the basic configuration. Note, that some of them maybe not be depicted in the image of the ship as these images are the official illustrations from the manufacturers. The graphs will be uploaded gradually.
1. Lockheed Martin's Multi-Mission Surface Combatant (MMSC) HN. Country of origin: USA
2. Naval Group's Frégate de Défense et d'Intervention (FDI) HN. Country of origin: France
3. Damen's Ship Integrated Geometrical Modularity Approach (SIGMA) 11515 HN. Country of origin: The Netherlands
4. Navantia's F110HN. Country of origin: Spain
Coming soon...
5. Babcock's Arrowhead 140HN. Country of origin: United Kingdom
Germany has also proposed MEKO A200 and A300 (variant of A200) and Italy the Bergamini class/FREMM IT. For these two design you can find a complete analysis in the respective articles.
