Kesimpulan :

Peringkat dalam artikel meletakkan penekanan pada senjata, sensor dan kemampuan multi-peran dari frigat. Grafik puncak akan menjadi yang terbaik dari kapal multi-peran. Namun perlu untuk diingat bahwa beberapa kapal dengan peringkat sedikit lebih rendah mungkin unggul dalam satu wilayah, karena mereka telah dirancang seperti itu dari awal. Setiap Angkatan Laut mungkin tidak memerlukan kapal multi-peran untuk daerah operasi mereka dan ancaman yang dihadapi sama sekali berbeda.

Kebanyakan angkatan laut Eropa meletakkan penekanan pada perang anti-udara yang mereka anggap rudal jelajah Rusia sebagai ancaman utama. Angkatan laut Asia cenderung lebih menekankan pada perang permukaan dengan mengandalkan kemampuan penuh kapal multi-peran. Saya harap daftar ini memberikan Anda ide yang baik tentang 10 frigate yang paling baik.
