The new frigates are described in the same 'solid little ship' terms used for earlier Swedish designs. That wording prompts speculation about a modern counterpart to the heavily armed Halland class. The idea is explicitly an unconfirmed suspicion, with no claim that Sweden has announced or designed such a ship. It draws on a recurring pattern in the discussion: a dependable general-purpose ship paired with a platform carrying nearly every available combat function. A modern Halland would also serve as an unusually visible deterrent in the Baltic.

Wording used for the new frigates leads to an explicitly unconfirmed idea that Sweden might later build a larger, comprehensively armed flagship.
