According to information published by the National Herald on April 2, 2021, the British government’s proposal for the Greek procurement of four new frigates with an interim solution was presented by British Ambassador to Greece Kate Smith to National Defence Minister Nikos Panagiotopoulos.
It is reported that the British offer to the Greek Navy concerns Type 31 frigate design, Arrowhead 140.
The Type 31e frigate, also known as the Type 31 frigate or General Purpose Frigate (GPFF), is a planned class of frigate for the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy intended to enter service in the 2020s alongside the more capable Type 26 frigate.
The Arrowhead 140 can operate in all states and conditions with a Ship’s Company of less than 100 personnel. With dedicated accommodation for 160+ personnel and additional temporary accommodation, the platform can carry a significant number of Embarked Military Force, including Special Forces, littoral maneuver troops or additional command and control personnel.
