The British Type 26 receives a particularly strong assessment for its focus on anti-submarine warfare. It is considered probably the best ASW platform then under construction and likely to retain that position for a few years after entering the water. Uncrewed surface assets are expected to help with submarine hunting. Uncrewed aerial systems could also support the crewed helicopter. Those integrations are predictions about future development, rather than a description of equipment already in service.

Type 26 ASW capability and possible uncrewed support
A favourable assessment of Type 26's ASW design leads to predictions about uncrewed surface and aerial support for its helicopter.
