Yes, we note in our report that the type 31e is the smallest and doesn't have the same kind of capability as other ships. That being said, the FREMM and the type 2 ship aren't identical, but they provide roughly similar capabilities. France and Italy, in particular, will be using them as their main frigates. They aren't identical ships, but they can be compared to the FREMM and the type 26.
