Frigates, Destroyers and some cool graphics explaining why the recent "15 RN escorts" stories in the newspapers aren't telling the whole story in some rather important ways. 
First of all here's the key for these graphics.
Blue = In the water, avalable for tasking (including working up and training).
Black = In refit, out of the water and not available for tasking.
Grey = Laid up without a full crew (including units allocated for Harbour Training).

Orange ships are those which have received significant power and propulsion upgrades. These include the Type 45 PIP and Type 23 PGMU upgrades.
The numbers at the top and bottom represent the number of escorts and OPVs in the water & crewed. i.e. the number of blue/orange ships.
