Frigates need to be largerState Secretary for Defence Christophe van der Maat has now informed Dutch Parliament that this D-letter will be sent later than planned. In the D phase, it became clear that the design would have to be modified on the basis of the requirements for a scalable and future-proof frigate. The ship needs to be larger in order to accommodate the package of requirements.Together with the suppliers, more time is needed to perfect the design. As a result, the Ministry of Defence expects to send the D-letter to the House of Representatives between late 2022 to early 2023. The approach is to limit the consequences for the inflow planning as much as possible. This will be included in the D-letter. So it seems obvious there will be a delay, but it is not yet clear how much. It has also not been revealed how much larger the vessels will become.It has already been revealed that Damen Naval will build the vessels.
