Hope we get them - just as I hope the FAA keep a proper fixed wing component flying off new aircraft carriers.

Doesn't the golfball thingy make for too high a profile?

[ZeroPositive]

That tower looks so surreal...

allegedly, it gives better performance over sea skimmers, as being high means that they can see better over the curvature of the sea. On the other hand, it looks like a really big golfer has set in the tee the golf ball.

Kidding aside, doesn't the tower height provide a greater radar target for the opposition?

[easyand]

the ship is "stealth made" :lol:

I don't know if type 45 have SSMs but the italian/french counterpart have SSMs ,look at the middle of the ship,SSMs are there.

[ronin2172]

yea i spotted that on the franco-italian ship....i was wondering y the brits left ot off theirs...would seem to be an oversight...unless it is located in the VLS...

I've just reed that the British navy will install Harpoon launchers later,probably with the integration of Tomahawk missile
