Three original variants of the Grand-class were proposed; an anti-submarine variant (ASW) and a general-purpose variant (GP) and a land-attack variant (AVT) to replace the existing classes of frigates within the Arendalean and Medosian navies. A total of 10 Grand-class were to be constructed - 8(2 more planned) for Arendale and 4 for Medos - with additional aims to seek exports, however budget cuts and changing requirements has seen this number drop significantly. The land-attack variant (AVT) was subsequently cancelled.
