The British government has announced its agreement with BAE Systems for 5 additional “Type 26” frigates, raising their total number to 8. The new contract is worth 4.2 billion pounds and provides for 4000 jobs.
Completion of the frigates is expected in the mid-2030s, with the first, the Glasgow frigate, expected to be ready in 2028.
