Thank you for that. That thing just aft of the 174 is that a hydrophone? |

Some say it's Type 162 for bottomed submarines locator and some say its Type 185 (underwater telephone) |

Now I just have to find the Type 170 to direct the Squid. Or can the 174 do that? |

A very neat little frigate, something perhaps that would have been quite good in RN service and perhaps can be seen as a gun-armed Type 12 with less ASW capability. Shame they didn't build them. |

To me it's closer to the Type 41. Same main battery, same ASW weapon and probably sonar as well, and a slightly beefed up light AA battery (4 single L70's against two twin L60's) Both were diesel powered, and they even would have had the same exhaust arrangement. |

Type 174 sonar was a replacement for Type 144 sonar. These two types were 'searchlight' sonars sending a very narrow beam which could determine the range and depth of a submarine target, and so both were in effect used to direct the Squid ASW. Type 177 was a search sonar much like a plannar array radar and used to detect a submarine. Type 162 was a scannig sonar for finding bottomed submarines. |

Very nice  , and sorry I'm late with the Asdic question ( ) But Novice has replied on that. Re the design, if the aft gun was dropped you could easily fit twin Limbo, to give a very potent asw platform. Or, and this might be a stretch too far, extend the forecastle to the stern and you might just get a single Limbo in as well.

Very nice
AS you can see in the other thread, I went for helicopters instead, since what the RDN needed was SAR, and not ASW.
