Frigates to have Helicopters & Hangers
Outline requirements for
the Type 31e frigate include
a hangar and flight deck big
enough for a helicopter and
unmanned air vehicles, enough
accommodation to support the
standard ship’s company with
mission specialists as required,
and stowage for sea boats,
disaster relief stores and other
equipment.
The ship will have a
crew of between 80-100.
Type 31e is central to a new
warship acquisition model,
which could see modular block
construction activity shared
across yards around the UK,
with blocks then assembled at
a central hub.
