OU Frigate Design

I've just acquired a few of the new GZG OU Frigates. They model is basically
the front half of an OU destroyer with a newly manufactured stern. So here's a
proposed design for them.

The Phar Lap class Frigates were designed in response to a request for tender
by the OUDF for an ultra-fast small ship capable of chasing down small,
fast commerce raiders. Apart from a very few designs such as the OU's "Red
Rockets", a Phar Lap can outrun anything it can't outfight, and handily
outfight anything it can't outrun.
The Phar Lap is basically a "stripped-down racing version" of standard
Fremantle/River
class Destroyer, and shares the same power plant and manoeuvre drive, but on
a hull less than 2/3 the size. Although rather cramped and short-ranged
for an OU ship, it has become quite popular due to its toughness relative to
competing
non-OU designs.

OK designs, but I suspect the OUDF's auditors will have some acid comments
about the 13% cost overruns... not that 13% is very much, of
course :-/

Typo - for 89 read 79.
I'm sure the auditors will be understanding.
