Thank you eswube, Sea Slug and Alaungpaya had many problems, Myanmar navy had no second orders and started the other AAW Frigate programs.

This is the first idea Compact AAW Frigate, but cancelled because seacat missile had very short range.

Type 81L Anti-aircraft warfare (AAW) Frigate

Wonderful ships superboy!

I love these Type 81 variants!

I wish PB was still lurking here, because I know he would have loved these Tribals too.
