I was on Monmouth, my favourite ship.

Yeah. You'll have that with "warships" that spend 95% of their "service" in harbor.

​@@deeremeyer1749That's total bollocks. The type 23 is the hardest working warship in the fleet. Wtf would you know anyway?

Recognised you straight away mate

Yea the 45s need fixed not built right but its done by design by the Parasite british government.

And she still wasn't seaworthy.

The British don't have a problem with people from other Countries living there and this is nearly 30 years old and Hong Kong was still part of Britain and if they hadn't handed the Island back to China then there wouldn't be a Humanitarian problem or an issue with the loss of simple Freedoms that we take for Granted, Free Speech, Free Press, so what's your point? It's not like a lot of people there are obsessed with the Chinese people, it's not like they had Adolf Trump making a Crappie Trade Deal with them that led to the Farmers in the Midwest going Bankrupt and needing a $40 Billion Dollar bailout and they don't have a Sedition Caucus either, and I don't think many of the British MP's caught Covid perhaps the PM Boris Johnson and one other, we have had a few Louie Gohmert, Rant Paul and I'm amazed how few Rethuglicans did catch it but not surprised that most of them are Vaccinated and yet lie about it, Rupert Murdoch even flew into Britain to get the Pfizer Vaccine in December 2020 when it first became available and then when he got back after his second dose he a stricter Vaccine Mandate in place at Fux Entertainment then the Biden Administration will ever do and they lie like Cheap Russian Rugs about the Vaccine and Mandates too, it's Assanine and it's dragging out the effects of the Pandemic and increasing the numbers of people who end up Dying of Covid, General Colin Powell had Blood Cancer and Parkinsons Disease and was 84 Years old and the reason everyone should have got Vaccinated because his Immune system was suppressed just like millions of people who are living with with Suppressed immune systems and are younger than the General was and just as sick, but the attitude is stupid by those on Right when it comes to being Vaccinated

But the Army has more fun roughin it!

and the RAF get a hotel room with room service.

@@Jushwa what do you mean by now that she's gone?

Whatever it was that smashed that Champagne 🍾 Bottle it had something behind it, weight, compressed air? Anyway I hope that there was some of it left to drink afterwards at the Party 😏😌🙄🍴🥃🍺🍷🍾🥳😋😖🥴😵🤢🤮

As far as I'm aware no official number has been released on the magazine capacity of the Type 42 or other Sea Dart equipped ships. Unofficially the Type 42 is supposed to have a capacity of 22 missiles, presumably that's 20 in storage racks and 2 on the the hoists as a guess.

As far as the Type 42's went Batches 1 and 2 could Hold up to 24 Missiles,the Batch 3's 42.

@@paultanton4307 If you look into it you'll see that different sources give different numbers for magazine capacity and I don't think any of them are official. EDIT: Some sources say that the stretched batch 3 had a larger magazine and others say that the magazine was the unchanged.

Part of the confusion seems to be about whether the dummy handling rounds (the red ones seen here) are counted or not. There were some pretty detailed diagrams and data on all the old RN weapons printed in an article in Warships 2015. This showed that the Type 42 magazine had three rows of missiles with 7, 6, & 7 missiles in each row (total=20). If there were two more in the handling room below the launcher, that would make 22. Theoretically you could have another two on the launcher, but with them being exposed to the weather, I'm not sure if that was good practice or not. I've seen the same varying accounts about whether the Batch 3s actually had a 40-odd round magazine or just the space for one, but with a 20-rounder actually fitted.

@@MrHws5mp Good post, I'll have to see if I can find a copy of that article.

Can't forget old mate in the dress. I make a point of turning my back on the god botherers at Anzac Day in order to say to them that their time has passed and we're no longer interested, thank you very much.

Bless you 🙏

Shame she wasn’t saved in Edinburgh..l we are no mode rush destroyers to visit, even bristols almost had the chop and she’s a very rare one of a Kind.

My claim to fame is that I pulled the Ensign up at the start of the Warship Series. Good memories...
