Female General Class 21 Escort Ship
The Type 21 frigate is a first class multi-purpose frigate commissioned by the United Kingdom in the 1970s. The ship's name is entirely derived from the names of Amazonian female warriors in ancient Greek mythology, commonly known as the "Female Generals" class in China. A total of eight ships were built and participated in the Falklands War, sinking two of them. The remaining six have been resold to the Pakistani Navy and are known as the "Promotion" class. The Type 21 frigate was a ship that successfully controlled costs, but also paid a painful price for it, prompting the Royal Navy to adopt stricter survival designs in the future.
