Five frigate finalists fingered for FFG(X) fight by Navy

Interesting how the Navy procures now, it seems like it is a hodge podge affair, where they used to design, or work with a company to design, the ship they need. Now, it's pick and choose, although I would go with the Aegis frigate, if just for the multi mission modes Aegis offers. But it seems it is really hard to budget anything with this hodge poge effort.

    Yep, that one just looks all out of balance, the bow is too narrow and the back is too wide, like it is waddling or something. The middle 2 look sleek and fast. The FREMM looks like an Imperial Star Destroyer.

    Are you talking the LCS Independent class ship...the last photo on the right?
    Yea, it looks weird, kind of like a tri hull ship...we call them trimarans also looks like it's propelled by water jets.

    The GD or the FREMM if we are talking looks, both are elegant and mean looking. Not that that means much but...I always thought the Littoral ships looked just weird for some reason, like they left half the boat behind...
