Arrowhead 120 trades a finished fit for adaptable volume

Arrowhead's open internal and superstructure volume is contrasted with a more tightly specified French FDI frigate.

Question

What are the panel's views on the Arrowhead 120 design?

Short answer

Its strength is adaptable space: customers receive a sound hull and machinery basis with much more freedom to choose the final combat fit.

Notes

Arrowhead 120 belongs to the design family behind Type 31. Its attraction is a hull, propulsion plant, and basic arrangement that leave customers substantial room to select sensors, weapons, and internal spaces. The French FDI is a coherent finished design, although it permits fewer fundamental changes once a buyer accepts the package. The comparison is therefore between adaptable capacity and a more tightly integrated combat ship.
