Ship "Index".

15). Frigates, Type 22’s.

This class of Frigate, designed as a replacement for the "Leander" class, ended up being in the order of twice its original designed displacement upon delivery and was of a similar physical size to the "County Class" destroyers of the 1960's. 

It speaks volumes for the adaptability of the original "Type 12 / Leander" hull form - seen in site section 13 - when it is realised that, nearly 20 years after they took to the water, the latest batch 3 "Broad Beamed Leanders" still retained most of the capability of these much larger ships, and yet even now this "class" have had to go through various "stretches" and alterations to keep pace with the rapidly advancing weapons technology of the late 1980's and 1990's.
