Will the US Navy seriously consider Type 26 after Constellation's cancellation?
Short answerThe possibility is left open, but no selection is identified; the response focuses on domestic design origin and hypothetical diplomatic sponsorship.
NotesNo decision to adopt Type 26 is identified in the answer. Alex discusses domestic design origin as an obstacle to another foreign-derived frigate program. He imagines a shipyard visit involving Donald Trump and King Charles as a possible occasion for diplomatic sponsorship. That visit and any resulting commitment are hypothetical. The passage provides no engineering comparison or evidence of an approved US Type 26 program.
