Feared By Many Countries! UK Type 45 Daring Class Destroyer, Warship You Won't Mess With

[@paultanton4307]

A couple of points - the Type 26 or a future AAW variant thereoff will not replace the Type 45,what becomes of the Type 83 will have that role,secondly the Type 26 will have 2 x 24 VLS for CAAM/SeaCeptor as well as the 24 MK41 VLS Cells,so 72 not 24 as stated.

[@donaldmatthews7226]

Well 24 proper VLS, camm is essentially a ciws

[@donaldmatthews7226]

@@JimCarner yes CAMM is a CIWS

As big as Dr. Who is over in the UK, I love that the Brits made it look like a Seagoing Dalek. "En-e-my Air-craft De-tec-ted, Ex-toiminate! Ex-toiminate!"

[@dopepopeurban6129]

Can someone explain to me where all this hype around the Darings comes from? That thing ain’t a Death Star, it is and was a somewhat average destroyer for the 2010s, comparable to the french/italo Horizon class and japanese Akizuki class in terms of capabilities. It was certainly a huge step from the Type 42/82 classes, yes, but those platforms were developed in the 70s.

The UK and US Masters of the Seven Seas, also the experience to prove it.

[@matthewwilliams7913]

Retract the UK part and this is a fully factual statement. Don't worry just like the Brits destroyed their empire with needless entrance into major world conflicts they didn't need to, the united states is using that history not as a warning but a template.

[@oudloek]

Sounds like the fairytale; The elephant and a mouse are walking on a bridge. Then the mouse says ‘ we are making quite some noise , aren’t we?’

[@captjinxmarine9832]

The fairy tale is yours. Sailing blue water requires experienced capable sailors and officers. In sorry if I hurt your feelings.

[@oudloek]

@@captjinxmarine9832No worries mate; I just hope I haven’t crushed your fantasies.

[@captjinxmarine9832]

You keep getting funnier every message. Since I’m two to three times your age. Plus I’ve been around or sailed on naval vessels of four different countries. My fantasy’s are to have a crap in the morgan and a good grog in the evening. Then everything else in between is smooth sailing. Lol

The French and Italians have something like this, not as good, but still not bad. They have only 2 each though.

Type 26 is anti-sub warfare with a secondary role of anti air support. Not intended for primary anti air role. The Future type 83 is the successor to the type 45..

[@sensibledriver933]

26 will have 24 vls plus 48 for Sea Ceptor air defence. 7000 nm range is hardly short. Fremm is under 7k and Burke is barely 5.

[@EnglishScripter]

The type 26 is not to replace the Type 45.

[@lrb2763]

Type 26 is replacing the type 23, and the type 45 will be replaced by the type 83 destroyer in the future

[@EnglishScripter]

@@lrb2763 My point.

[@BritishFreedom]

An American chaannel slagging off the engine on the Type 45 Destroyer... When the engine is of American design.... Funny really, the only weakness on the Type 45 is it's engine and it's an American engine.

[@exelrode]

Actually most of the technology in this ship would be of foreign origin even going down to the chips and i am not just talking about foreign design coz that would be a lot but also manufactured in other countries simply coz uk doesn't have a industry except for finance and services

[@rogueshadow4960]

And the fact that its anti ship (harpoon) missiles aint good, needs newer missiles to go in the cells, which i believe its getting i think?

[@alunrees5130]

As the Grim Reaper KZbin has shown that China's tactic in the Type 055 is to out muscle and use longer distance weapons showing that the UK Type 45 Destroyer can be destroyed even with the resent upgrade in number of weapons

[@MrRonald1231]

It's not only the number of weapons but it's quality. Quality is the answer to air defence.

[@petermallia558]

6,900t, (6,800 long tonnes, 7,600, short tonnes and 8,000+tonnes fully loaded. A meager 24 missiles in 6 silos? Although its a anti-sub surface combatant, with added air defence capabilities.

[@drandrewallan]

Unfortunately does not have modern anti shipping or land attack missiles

[@mikestarkey7989]

As for the engines, the GOVERNMENT should not experiment with ships of the line, but with a ship that isn't a combat ship BEFORE using them in combat ships.

[@firefly9838]

Well now now, you've made too much sense

[@ancientbriton8262]

The US made intercooler heat exchanger is the problem not the RR WR21 engines

[@EnglishScripter]

Why are you comparing a frigate to a destroyer?? We have the Montrose class, which this is replacing, therefor improving our abilities.

[@paultanton4307]

Type 23 Frigates are referred to as the 'Duke' class in RN service not the Montrose class.

[@EnglishScripter]

@@paultanton4307 There is more than1 class

[@russellbenton2987]

No ballistic missile defence . Surface to surface missiles limited to old harpoon missiles taken from old type 22s . Very little offensive armament

[@mikelovesbacon]

Why are you comparing a frigate to a destroyer and claiming the frigate is going to replace destroyers when they won't be replacing destroyers??

[@marklinsdell7527]

The world need not fear this. For the most part our navy conducts humanitarian support to countries who have suffered natural disasters . Or to defend others from attack

[@markconway2380]

They want a helicopter like airwolf on the ship.

[@paulcadden4967]

Significantly out classed by the modern type 055 destroy now tho

[@squirepraggerstope3591]

Well, anyway, assuming China's now managed to steal Western AAW tech sophisticated enough to allow them to reverse engineer anything half as good as Sea Viper.

[@azzifyy5988]

Nato defines the 055 as a different ship class making them incomparable. However when it comes to air defence which is obviously the primary role of the Type 45 with it being the only 1 shot 1 kill air defence destroyer will still give it an advantage in that role once it receives its upgrade giving it 72 VLS cells. The Type 45 also has a taller radar tower giving it an advantage in early detection.

A child, that uses an automated system with 80k subs probably making a few grand a month as well. Why not, its moronic but most of those watching are morons. So it works out well. Meanwhile anyone who puts reality into their videos get little to no views as it does not please the moronic? Which is kinda ironic. When you think about it.

[@nhadzkirotsac7762]

Lack of vls,128 vls will make the t45 m0re lethal.

[@oudloek]

The SMART-L radar is the only thing good about it.

[@fabricemartin5561]

How can we fight with a war ship who never quit the dry dock because of failure engine. 😂😂😂

[@nasigorengpecelesteh1506]

Only 48 vls????

[@sensibledriver933]

More to be added soon, plus desk mounted NSM's. Should have been done years ago IMO. Uk fires only one missile for every incoming missile, USA fires two. 48 on a 45 is equivelent to 96 on a Burke.

[@mikestarkey7989]

The aegis system is very capable BUT no matter what ugrades it has had it's still circa 1970s technology, the type 45 isn't it's brand new.

[@ronaldmelia1172]

These are nowhere near the bite they should have. They were supposed to be fitted with TLAM tomahawk missile, but the government decided they were too expensive. Some dont even have harpoon, which, by the way, is old, very old. The ships i sailed in had those, and i haven't been anywhere near a warship for 22 years. Unless you can strike directly at the source of the missiles firing at you, all that will happen is that you will run out of missles defending youselves.

[@riidwanrahat1476]

No other countries either fear or care about it
