Overview
The Aegis Frigate is the fleet's air-defense screen: a deck gun for surface work and rapid-firing SAMs that make it the only ship able to shoot aircraft. Tier 2 from the Advanced Naval Yard.
How to use
Escort every serious fleet with at least one Frigate, or naval strikers and bombers will pick your capital ships apart. Its deck gun is decent against gunboats and coastal targets, but keep it out of missile-boat range. It has no sonar and no torpedoes, so it needs a Destroyer alongside against submarines.
Counters
Submarines and Missile Boats, and Naval Strikers if they outnumber its missiles. It counters every aircraft and light craft.
