If it follows the usual trend then I doubt it. The latest word on the Type 31 Frigate is that it will be equipped with 12 Sea Ceptor missiles rather than the original 24. It will have no anti-ship missiles.

Well, I hope that they at least consider doubling the number of missiles carried in view of the puny numbers of the current Type 45.
That would also apply to their cousins of the Horizon class.

The Defence Command Paper released today, titled �Defence in a Competitive Age�, confirms that the UK will develop a new destroyer type, the Type 83.
The white paper states:
�The concept and assessment phase for our new Type 83 destroyer which will begin to
replace our Type 45 destroyers in the late 2030s.�
What might the Type 83 Destroyer look like?
The Type 45 Destroyer replacement is just an early concept at this stage but a variant of the Type 26 Frigate has been officially being considered for the job.
