    First ships under construction.

    I can't seem to find anything as to their weapons loadout other than a gun on the forward mount, and helicopter hanger. "open archatecture" programming, and modular mission loading seems a little vague. Aimed at littoral close in warfare, 50 knots fast, lots of exotic sensors, and anti-mine systems, can it take on a surface warship of any size? It is suppose to be useful to a battlegroup as well, but I can't see how. Not much ASW, nor AAW, nor suface warfare weapons of significance. We are suppose to buy 60 of them, so they better be good, or as good as the FFGs they will replace. Russians have a slower, but prettier ship of similar size under construction now. It is heavily armed.
