There are three version of the FREMM: one anti-submarine version, one anti-aircraft version and a general-purpose version, although
their design as well as most of their armament will be similar.

FREMM is some good 2000 tons heavier than 054/A and is less a frigate in the traditional sense (like 054/A, OHP, la fayette) than a medium weight AAW DDG like 052C and type 45. Of course it isn't just about weight, the sensors and aster missiles aboard FREMM are a generation or a half than HQ-16 and sea eagle aboard current 054A.
How would a common VLS not be suitable for frigates? You realize they come in different lengths right? A frigate may not be expected or have the draft to be equipped with VLS scalable forLACMs but being equipped with a medium length version will allow it to fire SAMs, ASROC style weapons and future weapons developed. Once the common VLS is developed and mature, the question should be why shouldn't they be installed upon frigates (and even older vessels or smaller corvettes)
I wonder if the tonnages in A man's chart were for standard or full displacements. Wikipedia lists 052C as 7000 tons, I think most of us expected 052D to weigh a noticeable bit more.

That was the original idea. But there will now be only two versions of the AQUITAINE class, nine of the general purpose version still called FREMM (multi-missions) and two of the FREDA version (défense aérienne). I do not know about the Italian Navy, but I guess it will be the same.
You can see how the French Navy rates their frigates: The AQUITAINE class has D 6xx pennant numbers, while the LAFAYETTE class (frégates légères) have F 7xx pennant numbers.

The picture quality looks off. Looks sort of CG to me. Anyone read about this?
Chinese Maritime Surveillance (CMS) to commission 36 new cutters from 2010 to 2012 including seven 1500 ton class, fifteen 1000 ton class and fourteen 600 ton class "to better protect China's maritime interests".
Not sure what is the urgency but it sure helps to have a strong domestic shipbuilding industry to handle bursting demands.
