FF-19 AFOH Dependable is the first of a new class of monohull patrol and convoy duty frigates designed to replace the Faithful-class. She retains the high speed of the Reliant but also has maneuverability comparable to the Faithful. Her weapons load out is the same as the Reliant, minus the anti-air guns, relying instead more heavily on her 5-inch guns for AAW. She also has a smaller proximity shield protecting only the bow for defense against torpedos, but has more proximity shields guarding her bridge and engine from shells and bombs.

The Dependable and Reliant have both been assigned to Task Force Defiant.
