Meanwhile, on a somewhat related note, the CCG is possibly going to get some AOPS ships of its own:

Would you care to speculate on why they would expect that it would take another five years before they can start building frigates when they basically bought the plans already? It's not like they're designing them rom scratch, and frankly, if they were designing them from scratch I'd still expect them to finish faster than five years.
