Considering how stretched the RN is, how old much of their Type 23 fleet is aging old rapidly and how utterly inadequate the Type 31's are for ASW work, it would definitely be a decision to further slow the rollout of proper frigate replacements. The RN is in an even worst state than Canada as the Type 23's had a designed lifespan of 18 years with the newest ship being 22~ and the oldest being 33~ years old. Atleast the CPF's have a designed life of 30 years and are between 28-32 years old. We might not have the resources of the RN but we also aren't doing anywhere near the deployments either.
