What would replace hypothetical Type 82 losses in the Falklands?

How would a mixed Type 82 and Type 42 fleet affect the choice between quality and quantity after Falklands losses?

Replacement orders would depend on which ships were lost and whether both designs remained in production.

The hypothetical fleet could contain eight Type 82s alongside eight Type 42s. Losses in the Falklands would then force a choice about which design to order as replacements. Type 42s could replace lost Type 82s if Type 42 was the ship still in production. More Type 82s would also remain an option if their production continued.
