HISTORY -- The Whitby-class Type 12 frigates were designed in the early 1950s to locate and destroy modern Soviet submarines. The first ships were launched in 1954. Later ship incorporated improvements were known as Mk II Whitbys until 1960 when they were redesignated as Modified Type 12 (Rothesay-class). To confuse matters more the two RNZN frigates were known as “Otago-class”. In February 1957 the RNZN ordered two frigates to replace the Loch-class frigates. The Whitby-class frigate Hastings was taken over as renamed as Otago while the new frigate to be named Taranaki was ordered directly.
