'[T]he mortars were more effective for cold war warning...' Not clear.
The lead of this article says: "The Rothesay class, or Type 12M frigates were a class of frigates". But we also have Leander-class frigate which says: "The Leander-class, or Type 12M frigates". Perversely, in the "See also" section of the Rothesay-class article, it says "Leander-class frigate – the Type 12M frigate, a general-purpose design following on from the success of the Type 12I". However, in the "See also" section of the Leander-class article, it says "Rothesay-class frigate, the preceding Type 12M frigate." Presumably the "M" suffix stands for "Modified" and the "I" stands for "Improved". We have yet another article, Type 12 frigate, which backs the "Rothesay-class Type 12M" and "Leander-class Type 12I" theory.
The only text I have to hand is Marriott, Leo (1990), Royal Navy Frigates Since 1945, Second Edition; which gives Type 12 for both the Whitby-class frigate and the Rothsay-class, and Type 12M for the Leanders. Thoughts anybody? Alansplodge ( talk) 15:21, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
