The DDS have increased their order of Freedom 41B frigates by 2 and intend to build 5 more (as well as the recently added ship) in the current financial year. The ships are being built to boost numbers and to replace lost frigates (6 Isometrics and Terran Seas have been lost so far in the war).
A DDS source said it is likely the Freedom will remain in production (with the production rate slowing after the war) until it can be replaced with the Corkscrew around 2114.
