Man put a VLS on that front deck a couple guns on the upper decks with CIWS fore and aft and she might make it as a heavy destroyer. Especially with embarked sub and helipad.

Pretty ship -likely doesn’t have appropriate watertight doors internally and I don’t see any unre capability. Still she’s fine....mmmmmm

Sorry meant heli-padS. and light destroyer....crew of 50 wouldn’t man a frigate in my day... but things change with automation.....

That rear deck could take a tail on her for sure....
