Latest from VARD re. CDC. Seems to have evolved to be more in line with what VAdm Topshee has stated he'd like to see in this class. Of note the "minimum" 16 MK41 VLS. 107.7 m in length, so close to the stated preference of 105 m. 21,333 SHP, 26+ knots. Pretty impressive credentials.

They only screwed up one thing: The hull number. 290 makes it a destroyer, which they are not.

Since our last corvettes, the Flower and Castle classes, were all over the place with hull numbers, being in the 100, 200, 300 and 400 sequence, maybe we could start at K100. Or maybe continue from a previous class like Halifax, which would be K342, or Kingston, which would be K712.

Do we have a historical or traditional naming prefedent for corvettes? Flower class names seemed all over the place.
