The '''Type 47 frigate''', also known as the '''C''' or '''''Chatham'' class''', is a class of {{wpl|Frigate#Guided-missile role|guided missile frigates}} being built and in commission for the [[Royal Illuverendian Navy]]. The class is slated to replace the former Illuverendian stratocracy's [[Type 45 frigate]]s, which were relatively large and were basically seen by the Navy as second-rate {{wpl|Destroyer|destroyer}}s and impractical to operate.

Design of the Type 47 was heavily inspired by the state-of-the-art [[Type 36 destroyer]] that replaces the Type 32 and 33 destroyers. The dimensions of the class are 3 metres shorter than of a Type 36, but are wider by 2 metres, allowing more room for equipment and ordnance.

The [[Royal Tierdzan Navy]] will operate a variant of the Type 47 frigate known as the [[Federburg-class frigate|''Federburg'' class]].
