Utopia Talk / Politics / Germans scrap F126 destroyer

murder rank	Wed Jun 24 12:41:05 Germany is scrapping plans to build 6 destroyer sized F126 "frigates" and will instead build 8 of the much smaller F128 frigates. For comparison, the F126 was to be larger than the US Arleigh Burke class destroyer ... while the F128 is smaller than the National Security Coast Guard cutter than the US is fashioning into a laughably inadequate frigate. The F128 is ~ 1/3 the size of the F126. -

jergul rank	Wed Jun 24 16:55:23 According to wiki? Stopgap. F128 give more time for developers to sort out issues with th F126
jergul rank	Wed Jun 24 16:57:25 Or looking elsewhere on wiki: "On 24 June 2026 Bundeswehr officially announced that the project is cancelled due to "enormous cost increases and incalculable risks". [52] The planned six F126 frigates will be replaced by 8 MEKO A-200-DEU frigates. The Ministry of Defense stated that the general contractor, Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS) could not guarantee the scheduling and financial parameters for the F126 project.[53]"
