The first Type 22 frigates retained Bofors after all

The first Type 22 frigates carried two 40 mm Bofors guns amidships, correcting the earlier description of them as gunless missile ships.

Notes

The first Type 22 frigates carried two 40 mm Bofors guns amidships. Later ships used 30 mm DS30B guns. This corrects the earlier description of the first batch as gunless. Clarke recalls his father's account that the Bofors were added in the last design draft.
