What would a modern Black Swan-class sloop look like?
Short answerA plausible design is a roughly 2,500- to 3,000-ton vessel based on Singapore's Formidable-class frigate.
NotesMuch smaller patrol-vessel analogies do not offer enough size for a genuine escort mission. A plausible scale is roughly 2,500 to 3,000 tons and the Republic of Singapore Navy's Formidable class as the closest design starting point. This distinguishes a modern sloop from a lightly armed constabulary patrol ship.
