The U.S. Navy has announced that a new "small" surface combatant (frigate)-- to replace all but the first two Constellation-class missile frigates -- will be based on the Coast Guard's Legend-class cutter design.
Ten of the Legend-class are in service with an 11th under construction.
Modifications to the design for Navy service have not been disclosed. The price of the USCGCs is just over half of that for the Navy FFGs; it is likely that the new frigate will be considerably less capable than the cancelled FFGs.
