How to compare if the S.govt do not want to annouce equipment on board the ship?
Base on sources now , wat we can see is that the ship will retain the hull of the la fayette however the superstructure of the ship will be very different. Automation will be highly emphasie on the design to reduce manpower and the ship will be design to counter all threat at surface, air and undersea. I believe with mixture of british radars , french / american missiles and maybe israeli countermeasure system.
Wat interest mi most is , wat torpedoes will be armed on the ship . Bristish design maybe??
Based on Mindef lengendary kiasuness , i believe our Delta frigate will not be any way inferior to the french la fayette , but its hard to compare now as they differ in weaponary , system , superstructure and manpower which is unknown to us . -
Also can be seen from the 3d graphic released that the Delta frigates will probably not be as stealthy as the La Fayette. . . u can see more stuff sticking out of the ship. . .

The French La Fafayette is not that heavily armed in the first place. I wonder how stealthy it can be with the Herakles radar and other emitters on board.

An study by the Australian on the delta class is that the designed is better signature reduction measures than the french la fayette. And also better arm.Originally posted by buzz:The French La Fafayette is not that heavily armed in the first place.
