A German-Dutch air-defence frigate and the uncertainty of its designation

If the German-Dutch future air-defence frigate project had continued, what German F designation and naming scheme might it have received?

F122 is offered tentatively, without a firm naming scheme. The planned F126's appearance and engineering priorities also attract criticism.

F122 is tentatively suggested for the cancelled German-Dutch air-defence frigate project after a comparison with other German F-numbered programmes. The identification remains uncertain, and no definite ship-naming scheme is supplied. A separate criticism concerns the planned F126's appearance. Calling it an engineer's dream expresses a personal concern about its design priorities. No specific technical defect is established in this exchange.
