Season's Greetings to all!  I don't know if this topic has ever been posted before but in the spirit of Christmas I thought i'd start this pornographic thread ;D.  Which destroyers/frigates you guys think has the sexiest body?  We're not discussing capabilities just pure shallow aesthetics.  Also i've lumped the two classes of ships together because some such as the Spanish F100 and the RN's Batch III Type 22's blur the line between frigate and destroyer in terms of size.  I hope none of the mods find it sexist, it isn't meant to be, just in the spirit of fun.  Here is my totally unscientific subjective list:

1) RN Type 45 'D' Class (red blooded West Indian men like me find it hard to resist a thick body and large rear end.  If Serena were a warship she'd be HMS Daring).

2) F124/De Zeven Provincien Class.

3) F100

4) Halifax class CPF (very sleek profile, even when compared to 'stealthier' designs.  Hmm Rihanna?).

5) RN Type 23

6) RN Type 22 Batch III

7) Arleigh Burke Class

8) Iroquois Class (Getting up there in age but still a head turner, like Vanessa Del Rio).

9) RN Type 42 (Venerable beauty like no.8).

10) South African Navy Valour Class.

Could you try resizing the image?

Whatever floats your boat!

Bada bling!  ;D

As for resizing.... I have no clue in that field.

Sgt Schultz....
here is same boat... different view of the Aegis frigate.
Aparently, the Norwegians are having some serious rust issues with the Spanish manufacturer....

Pretty ship though
 
I know that.... Aegis is a capability ....
 
South African Navy Valour Class Frigate

Very pretty ship indeed.....
 
The Zumwalt class DDG 1000 when its built will be a show stopper. ;D

T6,

Is it just me or is that a ram bow on the Zumwault's hull design? It kind of reminds me of those USN or RN predreadnoughts or WW1-era dreadnoughts that had a ram bow. So a ram bow reduces its signature and makes it more stealthy than other kinds of bows?

Hell yeah, only reason I didn't include it is because none have been built yet, but I can't wait to see that design in real life.
 
The Navy will have to manage it better than it has the LCS program. :)
 
What can I say other than I'm a sucker for the classics. 

The Russian Kirov class (now called something else....I've been away from the Navy too long...)

Don't know if I'm disqualifying myself since it's a cruiser instead of a destroyer or frigate.....

To me the Kirov represents what a naval warship is supposed to be.  Big, packed full of violence, the mere sight of which on the open ocean will ring in a bad day. 

Only problem is that the Russian Navy is too poor to float the boat.. ;)

Heh... Cruisers & a bad day... I can relate to that.

Something like an infantryman in his trench in West Germany, waiting for the massed guns of the Soviet artillery to rain down on his positions... to be followed by the massed tanks streaming towards the coast.
