A global mine-warfare role for Type 32

What should Type 32's main role be?

It should be a globally deployable mine-warfare ship with a useful secondary escort role.

The answer proposes Type 32 as a globally deployable mine-warfare vessel rather than another general-purpose frigate with an indistinct mission. It should still possess enough surface-warfare and escort capability to take on a secondary convoy or task-group role. That would complement Type 31, characterized here as a forward-presence and global-escort ship. The distinction gives the two classes separate primary purposes while preserving useful overlap when the fleet must redistribute ships.
