[2] Unit costs for naval vessels (especially when averaged) are notoriously unreliable there are simply too many variables and accounting practices. With that caveat in mind, the following are rough unit prices for the frigates mentioned in the text and the Single Class Surface Combatant.
Danish 1.5B Kr = $333M Cdn (Project Patruljeskibe)
FREMM 280M = $447M Cdn (French version, diesel powered)
FREMM 350M = $600M Cdn (Italian version, turbine powered)
Dutch 400M = $639M Cdn (De Zeven Provinciλn class)
(or up to 450M = $719M Cdn quotes vary according to source)
Spanish 400M = $639M Cdn (F100/Nansen class, prices vary)
Typ 125 550M = $878M Cdn (projected German Fregatte Klasse F125)
FREMM 550M = $879M Cdn (projected air defence version)
Typ 124 700M = $1.12B Cdn (German Sachsen class air defence frigate)
CF SCSC 1.06B = $1.70B Cdn (Single Class Surface Combatant)"
