The Q100-class frigate is a class of air defence frigates in service with the Quetanan Navy and other militaries. The vessels were built by shipbuilder Gonçalves in Ledua and Malcanes, with the first ships built in 1980. The ships are fitted with a weapons system allowing them to track hundreds of airborne targets simultaneously as part of its air defence network. The Q100 frigates are the first modern vessels of the Quetanan Navy to incorporate ballistic resistant steel in the hull, along with the power plants being mounted on anti-vibration mounts to reduce noise and make them less detectable by submarines.
