That's quite a range of sizes for ships all called "frigates."

Hi Art,
From the published information, the Constellation and Hunter class are very similar. Similar armament (more anti-ship missiles in case of Constellation, heavier gun in case of Hunter; RAM for close-range defence in case of Constellation, Phalanx in case of Hunter).
The smaller frigates of all mentioned designs are much smaller.
Hunter 8800 t
Constellation 7,291 ts
Meko A-200 ca. 3,600 ts
Mogami 30FFM 5500 t
Daegu class FFX Batch II and III 3,592 t
Navantia ALFA3000 ?? (ca. 3000 t?)
The mostly have only a 16 cell VLS or a different VLS, so that in case of VLS Mk 41 only 16 cells are likely.
