Although the Prime Minister only announced the new Type 32 Frigate in late 2020, we have some vague clues about what it will do. He announced in the same speech that it has not yet begun the concept phase but will promise to shepherd in a new phase for the Royal Navy.
So, what is the Type 32 Frigate, and how will it fit into the wider naval strategy?

Testimonials
See what our clients have to say about KDC Projects.
KDC Projects responded rapidly to our need and brought a level of knowledge and experience to the project, which ensured our design met the static and fatigue stress requirements of the end customer platform and allowed us to optimise the mass and design of our actuator.
