  1. The bid was for ships already in service.

  2. ? I have 58% and 59% win rate with tier VIII and XI italian ships in WOW.

  3. They will be built in Wisconsin.

  4. When the first one will be commissioned, maybe in five years, we'll be able to talk about how good they are.

  5.  @timboyle3114  You are basing judgements on propaganda pieces.

  6. Thanks to extended range guided ammos, 5inches are making a comeback, see IE the Thaon di Revel-class offshore patrol vessel, that's basically centred on the 127/64 gun loaded with up to 100km range Vulcano ammos.

  7.  @jannevellamo  And a country is even more unsinkable and way bigger for that matter. Why have a navy at all, or care about islands, then?

  8.  @jannevellamo  So, there is something like a Finnish navy?

  9. Lot of Leonardo systems on original FREMM. And Leonardo is not a US company. So "we'll depend on a foreign company for supply, spare parts and updates". Also "navy standard" means that an engineer can pass from a ship to another with little training.

  10. I have something like 57% win rate in random battles with the Amalfi. Sometimes it's better to learn how to play something.

  11.  @TheRealStevenSeagals  I also play German ships, and Nurnberg is my absolute favorite, but me, or anyone else, with Hipper vs. me with Amalfi? No way. Tier VIII to X they can't even compare.

  12. “Any potential return on investment would be offset by high reactivation and life-cycle costs, a small ship inventory, limited service life, and substantial capability gaps. Furthermore…these costs would likely come at the expense of other readiness, modernization or shipbuilding programs.” US Navy badly needs a ASW frigate, and the OH Perry should be completely rebuilt to cover that role. AA was poor, sensors were obsolete, and generators couldn't provide enough energy for the needs of modern equipments.

  13. To update them to current standards would have costed more than build brand new modern units.

  14. What missile can you produce for 5000 usd?

  15. The design is Italian. They will be built at Marinette Marine shipyard, in Wisconsin.

  16. That's the schematic of the sinking of the Helge Ingstadt. What caused concern about the design had been that three sections not directly interested by the collision had been flooded anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfRGruDtDtc

  17. Australians tried to modernize the Perry. Then scrapped all the modernized Perry. You can modernize outdated designs to modern standards only up to a certain point

  18. They will be build in Wisconsin. The design is Italian.

  19. Much of the early problems had been fixed. Simply LCS had been conceived in the '90s for police work. The thing other navies do with corvettes. Only a little more heavily armed. A war with China was not contemplated. Result. Too expensive to be corvettes, and almost useless as warships. That's why the program is being redimensioned. The real solution to the problem would have been the Italian PPA. Displacement doesn't really cost. Modules do (missiles, sensors, helis, etc.), both for building and maintenance. So you can select and build a frigate-dimensioned single hull, and install modules for light or heavy work depending on what you need.

  20. Most of those ships are container freighters and similar, where only economy of construction counts. Italy is the world's 5th shipbuilding country, France 6th, Germany 7th, and they employ high paid workers. US is 14th. Worse, Most of shipbuilding in US are warships. That means that the various military contract builders are stealing the skilled workers each-other.

  21. Because there is not a single operative Type-26 yet. US Navy didn't want a paper ship. Burke is a mature design. It's not going to cost less only because you order some more.

  22. The bid was for models already in service. No untested design would have been or will be considered.
    1
  23. The procurement was specifically for designs that were already operative.

  24. They want something that can prevent a submarine to fire its torpedoes to a supercarrier.

  25. China is not even able to design a decent jet engine for its own fighters, let alone copy an F35.

  26. That's still a largely paper ship with unknown costs and delivery date?
    1
  27. TF-2000 is a paper ship, it's still at the preliminary steps of design process. US Navy needed a ship that's operative now, not in 15 years. Heybeliada and Büyükada are corvettes, not frigates. Even the Freedom-class littoral combat ships are heavier.

  28.  @MrBunniesss  The case of the Walrus is exceptional only because it "sunk" not only the carrier, but much of its escort and went away with it. American carriers have long been a favourite target of European diesel subs in NATO exercises. "It would not be like that in a real life situation" is only denial.

  29. Fincantieri can build how many FREMM you want, in Italy, at 600m $ a piece.

  30. After the sinking of the Helge Ingstad and the Norvegian report that partly blamed the design, none would have still taken the Navantia proposal seriously. Moreover, the F100 is a dedicated AAW frigate, while the US needed an ASW one.

  31.  @apothecarymaybe3402  Don't know what your sources are. Taranto actually had little effect on the war in the Med. (battleships were outdated anyway). Italy actually won the battle of the convoys in the Med. Italian ships sailed to N.Africa constantly with over 90% of success until the last weeks of resistance in Tunisia, while the British transports were mauled in the attempts to resupply Malta. All that was aknowledged after the war by the German attachè to the Italian Navy headquarters.
