Everyone in the comments saying we should build more than 8 while i agree we could do with more ships. Im just hoping they dont cut it down to reduce the number like they did with the type 45's. Also i dont think we could afford to have more than 8 on the defence budget as its not just a case of purchasing the ship you also have the cost of running the ship aswell as any updates needed. Then you have the fact as soon as the last one is built they will most likely be working on/designing there replacement as the average expected operational effectiveness is about 30 years for a modern warship. Then we have the issue of man power shortage at the moment. What im just hoping for is that the type 31 is as good as they say it is or better and the build about 10 of them using these for escort/patrolling areas and leaving the 45's and 26 ships for aircraft carrier battle groups.

The UK is also only building single role ships, ie Type 26 ASW role, Type 45 destroyer - anti aircraft role. Where are the warships capable of destroying other warships?

Shiiittt who would need anything else... Not saying anti ship cause them missiles weight much more... at least i think they do... Put lasers, seawiz, or one of em rotating anti air systems in the hanger and have it slide out on rails to the rear of the ship when needed. i mean, you wont be able to store a helo but it's no longer the role...

Design a type 26 that will incorporate 3 or 4 challenger 2 tanks, almost impossible to knock out w/devastating firepower.

[@patrickrobinson-mh5jw]

just like a transport ship with a secondary role of war fighting so we look good during disasters what weapons does this have the assault boats take up nearly half the ship and they talk about ditching most marines but make good immigrant rescue boats

In a genuine wartime environment that mission bay would be best utilised by installing another 96 VLS cells to deal with saturation attacks by the full range of enemy missiles, but also to deploy land attack tomahawks. The multi mission bay is fine for peacetime versatility but some ships should be modified for an actual wartime scenario

[@GGG19872]

It’s built to hunt submarines the mission bay can hold a 2nd heli

[@user-kf8lt7qp5f]

So it can find subs but it can't even harm them

It's very clever of the UK's royal navy to develop this stealth fleet they have. New technology means that any enemy can only detect 6 destroyers, 12 dated frigates and 1 aircraft carrier with no fighter jets on it. Lolz

The problem is the British government when describing British warships the thing that keeps coming in is it can help in disaster areas, it can distribute aid these are things that do not belong in warship design, this why British warships lack offensive weapons and no longer look like fighting ships.

[@tonyyates2012]

It would be really helpful if people knew what they were talking about.

[@Spaceman9090]

Problem is that currently the type 26 has no torpedo tubes and the navy currently has not started any projects related to silo launched anti-ship missiles or anti-submarine missiles.

[@tonyyates2012]

The Brit. That's what the Lynx wildcat is for, its also responsible for anti-ship, so I'd say its got those covered.

[@sierrawhiskey5155]

Not in severe weather! So if the helicopter becomes lost or unserviceable the ship loses its anti-submarine & anti-ship capability? You're also suggesting the ship might never need to engage two or more surface/ submerged targets at once.

[@sierrawhiskey5155]

Excellent point Ronald. Who would use enormously expensive fighter planes or combat vehicles to deliver aid? so why use a mega expensive war ship? Would be cheaper & more efficient to pay commercial shipping / logistics to do this.

It's unfortunate the construction of the Canadian Type 26 is awarded to Irving Shipbuilding

[@JollyOldCanuck]

Unfortunately Davies Shipyard was recovering from a bankruptcy when the National Ship Building Strategy was originally formulated which led to Irving Shipyards getting the contract, but to be fair Canadian shipyards were used to working on ships under 5,000 tonnes displacement throughout most of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century. You can see Irving, Seaspan, and Davies struggling to upgrade their facilities to accommodate the construction of 6,000 tonnes Arctic OPVs, 20,000+ tonnes JSS and Polar Class 2 Icebreakers, and the 8,000 tonnes Type 26 CSC, slow delivery times and cost overruns were inevitable.

[@berthamoen4488]

Because there isn’t yet anything better to replace it with.
