The ship class I early wrongly refused to as "katamarans". I reloeatedly red about these in the opast years, and always it was trouble. Mechanical failures unreliable engines, poor weapon suite, poor ammo reserves especially missiles, and poor and sensors. Even the speed and agility is put into relation against the apparent higher rate of problems wioth the engine/propulsion system.
^ I base that only on media reports. But I do not like this class. And I am apparently not alone with that. The concept and the execution are not up to the challenges the fleet of these ships is meant to meet, I think. I would not be surprised if they decide to let them disappear alltogether, all of them, not all at once to evade too much negative attention by the public, but getting rid of them all over time.
