The NZ-FFGx or Next-Generation Guided-Missile Frigate program of the Royal New Zealand Navy aims to develop a class of surface combatants to succeed 2 Anzac-class frigates. The program is the culmination of the Large Surface Combatant (LSC) initiative that followed the cancellation of CG(X) and curtailing of the procurement of the Zumwalt-class destroyers. The ships will become the principal large surface combatants of the U.S. Navy; compared to their predecessors, they will incorporate more powerful sensors and have more room and weight margin for growth.[1][2]
