I saw one gun towards the bow. Only one? No way to support landings, no way to repel boarders. One lousy gun and it calls it self a warship! Plus it doesn’t look all that big

The Italian FREMM frigate has two 76mm guns, each capable of firing at 85 rounds/min, one at the bow, and one near the stern on top of the helicopter hanger.

They also have a pair of 25 mm cannon, firing explosive shells at 600 rounds/min, which will ruin a small boat real fast

Maybe they can stock up on cutlasses?

How many guns do a Burke class destroyer or a Nimitz class aircraft carrier have?

It's a frigate. It's not supposed to be that big.
