The Standard or S-frigate (relating to the Standard NATO Frigate concept which they were designed), the Kortenaer class, displayed functional, relatively compact lines. In functional terms. the ships primary role was the same as several other designs in NATO but S-frigates did embody the most balanced sensor and weapon fit in terms of offensive and defensive armament. This book presents an overview of the development and operational use of the ‘S-Frigate’ with many photos and illustrations.
