From the outset, sealift was only ever a secondary function. The primary role was always going to be EEZ patrol.
Why would we not support combat systems? In the mid 80s we went from crew served main weapons to completely self contained and remotely operated systems, aimed by EOS.
In the 1950s, the NS were equipped with Anti Submarine warships that would have been on a par with a USN Perry class or RN Type 23 today.
We shouldn't rule out a capability just because we never had it before.
