Yup, that takes us down to 5 Frigates - Westminster is a blow as she's had a lot of money spent on her for little return. We need a bipartisan permanent committee of some weight to steer ship building over various governments. The mess we're in here, well, the previous government could have staved it off in the 14 years they had to work with, but realistically, the Type 26 program was dragging its heels even before then.
I'd like to think we'll learn some lessons and not push the OSD for Type 45 to the right but...well, yeah, as if.
