Decent ships although a bit slow at dash speed - surprised they didn't put gas turbines on it, given what they've done with previous classes and they need to carry some aviation fuel for the helicopter anyway! Still in reality I don't think anyone is running at 30kts over long distances so it's only going to be evading torpedos and responding to things like pirate attacks when top speed is important. Watching the contortions of the UK atempting to build ships that wont be as multirole as these and wont enter service for about 20 years post them is painful.

VDS is much more effective than any hull mounted system.
How effective is their VDS?
