AWD IN THE RN
Yes the Daring is a big ship, but like many things in the UK MOD, fitted for but nor with, just to keep it cheap! Should have had a big 155mm gun and a SSM fit of Harpoon and of course there is lots of space for a long range SSM fit but will we ever see it???? God forbit we have a truely multirole and capabile ship at sea as the RN, just not PC. Yes we are haveing fewer but then in the 60’s- 70’s before the T42’s came on line we only ever had 8 County Class DDG’s anyway. Lets hope that Daring and her sisters really do mark an improvement when they get all the fit once promissed. Oh the Flight Deck can take up to a Chinnock if needed.
