Funny lookin’ but I’m sure she packs a punch!

Actually it can't really do much of anything. It has a decent 57 mm gun, and can carry some helicopters, but right now those are really the only operable weapons systems. The "mission packages" or "modules" - especially the anti-submarine and mine-warfare ones have basically been a fiasco, and they almost have to start over with both.

And the NLOS-LS missile for the anti-surface warfare package is not deployed yet.

Yeah, it needs more firepower. Maybe they’ll update her as time marches on.
