The Type 26 and Type 31 frigates have been designed with flexibility and adaptability in mind, including provision within the baseline designs to accommodate a range of future capability enhancements as required.

As part of routine capability planning, the Ministry of Defence keeps potential upgrades to all Royal Navy platforms under regular review.
