What an eighty-frigate Royal Navy would change

How would a Royal Navy with nearly eighty postwar frigates affect the Cold War in Europe?

It would give Britain far more sustained naval presence and a much larger anti-submarine warfare force.

The proposed mix of postwar frigate classes would bring the Royal Navy close to eighty frigates. Presence is the main result: more hulls allow the fleet to appear in more places and sustain commitments rather than merely owning a larger paper total. Because so many of the ships are anti-submarine specialists, the force would also provide much denser Cold War ASW coverage. Fleet size therefore determines persistent deployment capacity as much as paper strength.
