| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| FFG-318 may carry on the lineage of [[Wikipedia:HMS Grafton|HMS ''Grafton'']] of the Royal Navy or [[Wikipedia:USS Grafton|USS ''Grafton'']] of the United States Navy; the former is more likely as the nine ships named ''Grafton'' in British service have exclusively been fighting ships, such as cruisers, destroyers, and frigates, whereas those in American service have been support vessels. The frigate may also be named in honor of the [[Australia]]n city of [[Wikipedia:Grafton, New South Wales|Grafton, New South Wales]].
| | *The frigate is likely named after the Australian city of [[Wikipedia:Grafton, New South Wales|Grafton, New South Wales]]. |
| | *The ship could also be named after the [[Wikipedia:USS Grafton (APA-109)|USS ''Grafton'']], an attack transport ship that served during World War II. |
