So multipurpose that it's going to be doing BMD as well it seems:
The Italian Navy (Marina Militare) will get Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) capability in 2024 with the delivery of its first PPA (Pattugliatore Polivalente d'Altura or Offshore Multipurpose Patrol Ship) vessel in the "Full" configuration. Captain Francesco Gennaro Esposito, Italian Navy General Staff (MARISTAT 7°) future vessels ship design and CMS department, confirmed the information to Navy Recognition during a recent visit at the Leonardo naval test and integration facility near Rome.

So the MOD has decided to fund the retention of the Batch 1's (about £13 million) in case of a hard Brexit situation, makes sense really though I wonder where the RN will find the crews from if they do end up having to keep all 3 in service after all?

Have the article here now. Surface Search Radar taken off ships going into maintenance and put on ship deploying.
£6,700 circuit card assembly for torpedo launch system swapped 26 times across 12 type 23 ships.
MoD to save money only ordered incomplete technical documentation for the Type 45s which made parts IDing and maintenance a nightmare
