Top 11 Frigates In 2024 | Ultimate Ranking

They defined the Type 055s as a cruiser as it functions just like their Ticonderogas. The same logic applies to their Zumwalts, they called it a destroyer even tho it's bigger than any US cruiser.

@@Legarosss the title from Video is "ulimate RANKING" and he goes from rank 11 to rank 1 but a anti submarine frigate cant be a rank over a not anti submarine frigate. This should be obvious. Possible would be a ranking list with who is the best anti submarine Frigate. Btw there are also multi-purpose frigates which can fight against everything: submarine, airtargets, Ships, Landtargets which basically makes them Destroyers but many Nations still call them Frigates in thier Navy. What ever these multi-purpose frigates could fit in a ranking cause there u can compare which one has the best multi purpose.

[@Legarosss]

​@@jack-tack3097 well, some nations, like russia have multi purpose corvettes as well and a displacement of 22350 is perfectly frigate. They just managed to put in a lot of shit inside it. On the other hand, looking at displacement, some indian frigates are well in destroyer class having considerably weaker (even compared to top ones from this list) armaments. That might be due to how autonomous and india might prioritize this aspect over armament since each nation have own aims and doctrine. Yet again if we take just frigates in vacuum personally i dont see major issues with this list, multi purpose all-rounders are at the top as they should be, if you arent happy with mid-bot segment well that's up to discussion i guess, which one is more important ant-sub/anti-air or anti-ship if those are heavily specialized, i'd take all around approach anyway and put turbo good asw frigate with poor aa capabilites below so-so asw but with fair/average aa, etc

[@jesperlykkeberg7438]

@@ParikshitBhujbal Wrong. The classification of large surface combatants (LSC´s) as "frigates" is primarily to be determined by the ship´s endurance and independent action range: Long range ("blue water") vessels: "Frigates" (In example: Danish Iver Huitfeldt-class 6,700 tons, range: 17,000 km). Medium range (green water): "Cruisers"/"Destroyers" (US Ticonderoga-class cruiser 9,600 tons, range: 11,000 km, and: US Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, range: 8,100 km). Short range (coastal water) vessels regardless of size: "Corvettes"/"Littoral combat ships"/ (Finnish Pohjanmaa-class corvettes 4,300 tons, range: 6,500 km, and US Freedom-class littoral combat ships, range: 6,500 km). Please note that most LSC´s classified as "frigates" are in fact not true frigates at all, but should really be downgraded to mere "destroyers" due to their short range and low endurance equal to the rather obsolete and useless US Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.

Gorshkov is good. Super gorshkov could be a destroyer. Russia should focus most on advanced corvettes around 350 feet long and focus on large vls units. Including forgoing a main gun and possibly a hangar to maximize missle units. Also should try and make it around 100 million dollars. Imagine a navy with several hundred modern missle corvettes on par with a small destroyer.

[@kqckeforyou4433]

Bro 350 feet long and forgoing a main gun and Hanger for VLS? Like why? You are more limited because of the vls and have to use expensive missiles against everything that the small caliber weapons (up to 30mm) cant defeat. Also you limit your ASW capability because without the hanger you loose your best ASW weapon. And only 100 million Dollars is Impossible because vls are quit expensive and you need modern Equipment to make the most of it. And then we cant forget that missiles cost extra 😉

[@andrygugli1928]

The russian navy is building the ship you described, the Derzky class corvette, but it is considered by many russian experts to be a failure, being as expensive as a frigate, smaller and less seaworthy. LCS moment. What russia needs is multipurpose ships like the Steregushiy or Gremyashiy, while the missile platform role is carried out by smaller corvettes. Grigorovich is the ASW ship, while the Gorshkov is basically a small multipurpose destroyer acting as the flagship of small fleets and replacing the Sovremennys

[@DoomSwarm]

You are wrong. Project 22350 is one of the few really well-developed concerts in the Russian Navy, which is amazing. Therefore, she should focus on building this particular ship and reducing the number of other types in favor of unification. A helipad and hangar are also extremely necessary, since ships are blind without AWACS, and Ka-31 type AWACS helicopters will give good situational awareness + anti-submarine helicopters are always needed

[@burung81]

type 054A is a 4000ton, while the rest are the 5500+ tons, some even as heavy as destroyers. However, the role they play is different as the 054A didnt need to be heavily armed, playing anti subs and support for the main combatant, type 052D and type 055 DDG. While to some countries, the frigates is main surface combatant and thus heavier and better armed.

[@jaredevans8263]

Honestly the Type 054A is really the only frigate that plays the traditional role of a frigate via armament, tonnage, and especially price. Some of the frigates on the list are upwards to $800 million USD each, which China can nearly make a type 055 cruiser or almost two type 052D destroyers for the same price. I feel like a lot of nations are throwing money down the drain on these frigates when a little more cash can get them destroyers which are wayyyy more powerful all around

@@jaredevans8263 But 054A is also inferior to hunting subs than a T26. Why 'upgrade' to a destroyer when they perform different roles?

[@jaredevans8263]

@Louis the T26 isn't even in service yet, and its wayyyyyy more expensive than the Type 054A for uncertain improvements in sub hunting. And if you mean the T23 frigate, the Type 054A has got all the same type of sonars as the T23 while having two more anti-sub weapons systems (4 systems total, including the Yu-8 anti-sub missile from VLS) versus only 2 for the T23. And nations upgrading to destroyers for a little extra cash makes sense from cost standpoint because destroyers are better multipurpose vessels than frigates due to more weaponry and more powerful radars. Those nations treat their frigates as multipurpose ships rather than sub hunters anyway, so why not get a destroyer instead?

[@Louis-ej1lx]

@Jared Evans Weapons is a very minor part of what makes a ship good at ASW 😂. Both T23 and T26 are far quieter than 054. 054 is diesel making them very noisy vessels, CODLAG and CODLOG of T23 and T26 make them amongst the quietest and T26 the quietest ASW vessel out there. The primary ASW weapon of a ship is its helicopter. The 20km odd range of ASROC and presumably the Chinese equivalent is dwarfed by the 60km+ range of a heavyweight torpedo. This will be a bigger issue for 054A especially due to its diesel propulsion. Merlin is also the best ASW helicopter in the world. The radar on 054A is reverse engineered from Russia and is inferior to Artisan. As are the sonars on 054A. Multi purpose destroyers do not really exist. All multi purpose destroyers trade off ASW. Arleigh Burkes for example are very noisy. The closest would be 2 AAW FREMMs of the MN but they trade off AAW capability. The closest ship to see it is T26 Aussie variant but they are having lots of issues with the fact that if you add a large radar on a ship that’s not an AAW vessel, top weight is going to be an issue.

[@usermk99]

Today's frigates have the size of destroyers. Meaning of frigates and destroyers don't matter anymore. Earlier these used to have specific role and lack other roles but today both of these types can do all roles. Today's frigates are multirole. So instead saying 8000 ship a frigate and another 7500 ton ship as destroyer, we can just say 'warships' otherwise will have to make clear distinction that a ship over 5000 ton is a destroyer.

[@abhinavayush967]

Dude , your ships are very good only problem is long construction time ( like our Nilgiri class )

[@dennyliu7494]

Any ship above 6,000 tons should be classified as a destroyer, if we do, most of the ships in the video are destroyers. It is meaningless to compare apples with oranges. The British ship with a displacement of 8,00 tons and still calls it a frigate, who are they trying to fool?

[@rohitb5834]

how about any ship over 7000 tons? There are a lot of genuine frigates between 5000-7000 tons that are comparable. Above 7000 tons we enter a new league.

[@micupedro]

Spain is a peaceful country that will not build ships that have the name of destroying. The frigate sounds peaceful, that is why Spain will continue building frigates even if they are 14,000 tons.

[@Uriel77200]

May be posting this prematurely as I have not finished the vid. Germany has an awrsome Frigate it was just too big at first to be classified as a frigate.

[@definitelyfrank9341]

It's also very lightly armed.

[@lloydzufelt7514]

I wish you would tell us how much each ship cost

[@commodorce6431]

Is it just more or are Royal Navy ships generally slow, like 26 knots compared to other ships having 30+ knots

[@definitelyfrank9341]

Honestly, most of their equipment is slower than their counter parts, such as the Challenger.

[@joshuasenior4370]

They are often quite conservative with these estimates. I for one know some of the RN ships will go a fair bit faster than what is claimed.

What other ship in the world currently uses hypersonic anti-ship missiles? And uses them in real combat operations. Admiral Gorshkov class made all the other ships hopelessly old.

When you think back to WW2 the destroyers were only around 1500 tons compared to todays ships of 10,000 tons the weight of a cruiser, Belfast was only 10,400 ton.

A quick question: Do the hypersonic missiles enter supersonic mode in their terminal phase? Or they don't have to slow down before the impact?

[@kqckeforyou4433]

Well the optimal doesn't have to but all that radar use would need to because if not they can't really do the job because the Plasma building around the missile interferes with the radar. This is also why the idea of plasma stealth was created.

[@Mercer1012]

@@kqckeforyou4433 Plasma stealth is highly debated as actually being a thing. Additionally, the Zircon has been tested and has taken out targets, so clearly it works and if Plasma stealth is a thing, it has been overcome.

[@kqckeforyou4433]

@@Mercer1012 dude there more then just Radar for guidance. And for Zirkon we dont now anything. We dont know its guidance nor if its slow down to Supersonic speed in the terminal Phase for guidance or even the whole therminal Phase

Corvettes/Frigates/Destroyers/Cruisers are classified based on tonnage. Most modern warships are multi role. However , heavier they are , more they are packed with weapons

This is a list of 11 Frigate classes, any claims to them being the 11 best in the world or ranked 1-11 is purely the opinion of one person.

Top 11 in 2023, second place has ship, which will be, probably, commissioned 5 years after 2023 😀 At least you put Gorshkov first, but it is necessary to say, that as ship, Gorshkov itself is nothing extraordinary, it is its armament, especially antiship missiles, which make that ship superior to others, as you said. But same missiles are also on Grigrovich sooo More interesting would be 22350M, which would be enlarged, faster and more overfilled with VLSs than any other ship of that size. But someone could say, it would be more destroyer, than frigate.
