De acordo com esta info
https://dre.pt/application/file/73659025Vamos ter as BD até 2035, ou seja estes dois Navios estarão ao nosso serviço, até atingirem a bonita idade de 43 anos.
Pelo que me parece serão estas as duas que ficarão ao serviço e não me espantaria que Portugal tente comprar as duas classe M, já modernizadas que estão ao serviço da Armada Holandesa.
Cada vez me convenço mais que as VdG não estarão ao nosso serviço muito mais anos e que num futuro próximo,
digamos 2020, ano em que a Holanda prevê que entrem ao serviço as novas fragatas, teremos quatro fragatas da classe Bartolomeu Dias, o que seria optimo para a nossa Armada.
[EVENT]Royal Dutch Navy unveils more exact details of new M-class frigate self.worldpowers
The oldest M-frigate that is still in Dutch service, dates from 1993 and will be 30 years old in 2023. Since the service life of the ships was already extended from 25 to 30 years , the replacement is expected to enter service that year.
Originally these ships were planned for the year 2020, but Defense Minister Hennis pushed this date to 2023 in 2013. However the first of these new class will be expected to enter service in 2020, with the Karel Doorman class being retired from 2023.
The project has been dubbed Future Surface Combatant. According to the designers of Damen the ship will be 145 meters long with a crew of 120 people. The frigate will be able to operate at the highest violence spectrum is therefore equipped with both sensors and weapons for air targets as surface targets.
Because the M-class frigates have an additional anti submarine warfare specialization and the LCF's do not excel in this, so will the new FSC herein be equipped.
It is unlikely that mine warfare abilities are added to the ship, because those require very different demands in the platform in areas such as requirements for magnetism.

Date: 7 August 2015
Replacement for the Dutch M-frigates (Karel Doorman class) has started with preliminary studies at TNO on vulnerability reduction. Most likely the newly developed Non-Continuous Blast Resistant Bulkhead will be implemented. Experimental validation of the NCBRB is planned by the end of 2015. DTRL is involved in several research projects:
NCBRB (Non-Continuous Blast Resistant Bulkhead) design & engineering, experimental validation and implementation
R&D project on fragment protection for blast bulkheads: HARNESS (Hybrid ARmour for iNternal Explosions on Surface Ships).
Residual strength of naval vessels and sub-paneling behavior for internal explosions
