We are investigating the Type 22-class (Broadsword-class) frigates, the pride of the Royal Navy in the past and the flagships of the Chilean Navy and Romanian Naval Forces today. #Type22 #frigate #royalnavy

Due to copyright issues, we re-uploaded our Type 22 class video.

Why did the U.K. build a surface combatant without a main naval gun?
Why was the Type 22 class built in three batches, and what were their differences?
Why did these frigates have a relatively short service time in the Royal Navy?
What are the differences between the Brazilian, Chilean and Romanian Type 22s and their original variants?

Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we are investigating modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about the older weapon systems. We tell their epic stories, which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyzes, and tells the untold. You can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future will be. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.
