Clyde yard wins £127m frigates design contract

Clyde shipyard designers are to draw up plans for a new fleet of frigates that could help protect up to 4000 jobs at Scotstoun and Govan.

The Government will today award yard bosses at BAE Systems a £127million contract to draw up a working blueprint for ships that will replace the Royal Navy’s existing Type 22 and Type 23 fleets.
