When the diameter of a missile is 35cm or so (as for Harpoon etc), having 2 streams of fire is only going to make it harder for the targeting radar/computer to stear the shots onto target. I’d like these systems to be tested in stringent, realistic scenarios to see if they work as advertised. Well I’m sure that if politicians said that they’re spending this money to make our warships and support ships more survivable in a war many people could understand that because of the Falklands and would get behind it. And deck pentration for CIWS and other gun-based defences is vital imo to ensure that the weapons can be reloaded, ideally using fast auto-reloaders. Most of the T23s have had SW replaced by SC. This green mail armor of item level 33 goes in the "Shoulder" slot. Probably a third if you include a Ro-Ro ferry and mexfloat. It is looted from Stalvan Mistmantle. And doesn’t cold launch mean that debris isn’t an issue? Then … Personally, I think that all RN escorts should carry ASMs, and to be fair to them they normally fit Harpoon launchers when they go into hotter zones like the Starit of Hormuz. There was an idiotic debate at the time whether fitting ships taken up from trade (STUFT) was even legal. Of course tests would need to be carried out to prove this and so I’d like realistic tests to be carried out on any weapons like the Millennium Gun and OTO Melara 76mm to see if they work as advertised before the RN buys any. Thirdly, that PDF was released in 2018, which is the same year that CAMM entered service. Maintainers load ammunition (HMS Albion). Any ASM/ land attack munition that we buy under the interim purchase will be cannister launched, so no need to consider them for the VLS. Currently air-launched missiles like the Russian Kh-95MK2 (range 550km) and P-800 Oniks (range 600km – 800km depending on variant) can be fired at ships from beyond the range of Aster 30. Must make sure they are integrated with both Radar and the ships E/O systems for extra redundancy 😊. Here you can find the DPS rankings for World of Warcraft Classic. Maybe not daily, so it doesn't fit the article, but multiple times a day which is even better! the Bofors 57 Mk110. I think we need to invest more in the counters to anti ship ballistic missiles which traditional CIWS will not be able to deal with. With respect, the T45 doesn’t have serious deficiencies in in ASuW and ASW, because those aren’t their mission. ““Cold” launch systems were designed to reduce the minimum engagement range and reduce the requirements of the launch system with regards to exhaust management etc.”. But the RN is unfortunately coming out of a very long period of gradual decline with what I think is a good long-term plan given the resources they have. This would mean the guns would have access to more ammo which would be vital in the event of a saturation attack (of even subsonic anti-ship missiles). The Oerlikon Millennium Gun on the other hand has an effective range of up to 5km. Text above picture of USS King and Block 0 Phalanx, The Type 22 HMS Broadsword and Brilliant both had 2 x 1 40mm/L60 Mark 9 guns but obviously Sea Wolf was their best defence 🙂, Phalanx is getting old now, dont get me wrong the mount and sensors are great but the M61 is the limiting factor. It’s more than just concern, it’s anger that properly defending our ships isn’t considered a high priority. I’d like the RN to equip the frigates & destroyers with ADL launchers. And short-ranged Griffin missiles to take out fast attack craft. It relies on a semi-active laser seeker to home in on the target. Plus as I said, I think it would make sense to look into the feasibility of using airship drones for ASW (long endurance with solar panels and mini wind turbines) as well as sub-hunting surface drones like Arcims and Seagull (which could be carried by Type 26s). (Photo: USAASC). If you wanted to diverge from that, then I’d agree that deck penetration is probably a better call.”. Woah, hang on. If placement is currently tricky, I’m sure it’s not an insurmountable problem. So in the meantime we just ask our enemies to pretty please not start a war? I would also very much like to see a batch 2 / upgrade programme for T31 to include land attack missiles, it makes perfect sense for them. WoW Realm US-Bleeding Hollow: Guild Rankings, Detailed History of Guilds and Characters, Recruitment Not sure which system has the better dispersion though? And if the Falklands told us anything (not that we needed telling since it’s common sense) it’s that the more defences a ship has and the better the defences are, the harder it is to sink. It’s mind-boggling. Considering the article if a missile has reached Phalanx then EW didnt work. That’s an absolutely bonkers way to run a navy. I agree that the T45 was compromised somewhat by FFBNW, but it is still an excellent air defence platform in spite of that and a passable surface combattant with the Harpoons. I know that Gunbuster (I think it was him) mentioned that T45s use a data link to share targeting data and suchlike, but it doesn’t sound like quite the same level of capability. – Fit the Type 23s and Type 45s with Mk41 VLS for quad-packed CAMMs and (once they’re developed) long ranged anti-air missiles, anti-ship missiles and anti-sub missiles. That’s utterly insane. Even with USMC F-35Bs on board that figure won’t go up considerably. And in any case, as I said in my previous comment, I’d prefer we built one less Type 26 or scrapped the Type 31s to fund upgrades to all our RN and RFA ships. MASS decoys can deal with IR-guided anti-ship missiles, but currently no RN ships use the system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi_Ammunition_Softkill_System Microwave weapons could deal with IR-guided missiles, but as I said I’d prefer to have at least 2 layers of defence for every threat to provide redundancy. Units are rotated between warships in refit and RFAs not deploying to high threat areas, providing for planned maintenance, as the table above indicates, there are sufficient numbers for the RNs requirements. Der Aufenthaltsort dieses NPCs ist nicht bekannt. Due to the lack of a more heavily armed general purpose ship, the ships must have a better defensive but also an offensive armament! The ship with the best weapon for that being the T26 will hunting subs. The CdG has 32 Aster 15s so that’s clearly better than the woeful protection on the QE and PoW. i'm guessing the mounts only count towards mount achievements if you belong to the appropriate covenant. The French Charles de Gaulle carrier has Aster 15s and Mistrals. Achievement-Warlords of Draenor Archimonde Ahead of the Curve: The Black Gate Defeat Archimonde on Heroic difficulty or higher, prior to the release of the next tier of content. The three antenna would be placed so that each covers a 120 degree segment, thus giving the ship its 360 degree coverage. Nor would microwave weaopns to burn out the electronics in anti-ship missiles, Dragonfire to blind or burn out missiles’ sensors, as well as laser dazzlers and a ship-based version of DIRCM to confuse IR-guided anti-ship missiles (since modern IR-guided missiles can filter out flares). The 40mm Bofors was dropped before the 3P rounds were introduced in 1990s. The NSM is also worth looking at since it’s stealthy to some degree. “because if the public at large don’t like it they lose their jobs”. – Only 3 Phalanx. It was fitted to the Invincible class carriers, HMS Fearless, HMS Ocean and the QEC class carriers. As I have repeatedly said, the T45 does have an ASW and torpedo protection capability, so they are no more a soft target for Russian SSNs than your typical air defence vessel. It would be nice to see comparisons relating to costs, ship impact, effective range etc.. Mk 4 Bofors has a 100 round magazine, it uses the ships combat management system and sensors, Max range is 12,500meters (effective range is smaller), 2300 kg without ammo, 300 rpm, 5000 round barrel life, muzzle velocity radar, tv camera, full 3P integration and Backup controls on the mount itself. The system even took out 152mm shells fired from an artillery pierce hidden in a garage nearby in Ishaqi to the North. Along with the RAF that with their 170 jets don’t own the sky! 12 Mk41 cells would provide another 48 CAMMs and 2 ADL launchers, which can be replenished at sea, would provide another 32 CAMMs. This way if one or the other gets damaged by incoming shrapnel it can still be operational. – No Scutter (Can SSTD be fitted to a carrier? To confuse matters further, this link doesn’t even mention Aster 30 Block 1, just Block 1NT: https://www.thinkdefence.co.uk/uk-complex-weapons/sea-viper-aster/, “Sorry about the LRASM link, I mixed it up, it’s this one: https://www.baesystems.com/en/download-en/20180529232224/1434614211149.pdf It’s a PDF sales data sheet from the BAES website, so should be more accurate than the UKDJ (good though they are) when it comes to what’s actually integrated and clear for use.”. Phalanx Block 1B saw service evaluation in 1999 aboard USS Underwood (FFG-36) and was first operationally installed on USS Taylor (FFG-50) in … Call that a base level for any RN blue water vessel, which is augmented by the fixed armaments on warship and maybe by something like containerised CAMM-ER as a bolt-on for the RFAs in high threat environments. One need only glance an incoming missile to damage it aerodynamically and any hit on the nose will compromise most likely destroy the seeker. And these CIWSes could be complemented by other gun-based systems like the Bofors 40mm Mk4 or the OTO Melara 76mm. I’d be happy with deck mounted systems, would almost prefer them in fact because they’d be easier to spread across the fleet considering the differing types and quantities of VLS we have in service currently. “As far as ADL goes, my understanding is that it’s basically a Mk41 cell on its side, so that it’s modular and doesn’t have to penetrate into the ship?” Sounds right to me. Someone doesn’t like your comment, Sam. “With respect to said hypersonic missile or the reentry vehicle of a ballistic one, they’re almost certainly going to be steered through the terminal phase by vectored thrust, so there would be no control surfaces to destroy to disable it.”. And thirdly, if we’re not preparing for the worst case scenario, which is a war with Russia and/or China, then what are we doing? Interestingly, the NAO has identified this as a major problem for the MOD and HM Treasury to address, so hopefully we’ll see less and less of the kind of penny pinching capabilities that you’ve rightly identified. If we’re not going to build ships properly, then why build them at all, especially considering how few of them we have and how long it would take to replace them if they’re sunk. Subsequently, an additional 8 units were upgraded and in 2012 a further 5 new B1B mounts were purchased directly from Raytheon, primarily intended for RFAs. Ship-based IRST and LIDAR would also be well worth looking into imo to detect stealth aircraft and stealthy anti-ship missiles. That said, RAM only has a range of 10km, so I assume SeaRAM has the same range and SeaRAM only has 11 missiles. B1B fires the slightly modified Mk 244 Mod 0 ELC (Enhanced Lethality Cartridges) featuring a 48% heavier tungsten alloy penetrator over the older Mk 149 rounds. BAE have access to some of the best sensors out there as well as radar. So its defence on the cheap again but billions for the Nanny State. We should buy Ospreys for refuelling imo. Sort, search and filter Quests in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. Greatly improved range (and the ability to accelerate in its terminal phase like Meteor) would be important improvements so that enemy aircraft can be kept at arm’s length. That said, CAMMs can be quad-packed in Sylver launchers, so the QE and PoW could carry 128 CAMMs if they had either 32 Sylver or 32 Mk41 cells, which would be FAR better than just 32 Aster 15s. An Horizon with a decent sonar, ASuW fit out etc? Fit them with the same Sea Sentor system (which includes a towed decoy as well as the launchers) and an EW+ decoy suite, with any one of the gun systems you mention. It seems to me that if the control surfaces on anti-ship sea-skimming missiles are destroyed several kilometres away from a ship, then it seems likely that the missiles will crash into the sea and the further away from a ship a missile is destroyed, the less likely it is that missile fragments will be a problem. Why does it take years to fit a missile to the F-35 that already exists and is in use with Typhoons, Rafales and Gripens? Can’t remember the details. Once confirmed as hostile, the contact is passed to the tracking radar which locks on at about 8 km range. Well if our subs do have protection against torpedoes, then great. Rapidly up-armed in light of painful experience, HMS Illustrious with the first two Phalanx mounts in service with the RN departs the Tyne, June 1982. It would make sense imo to develop a ship-based version of DIRCM to confuse IR-guided missiles and carry out tests to see if HVPs fired from the main gun can take out anti-ship missiles. I think the type 997 radar can mostly take care of search and track for many targets but it’s not going to be an adequate solution for high-supersonic or hypersonic missiles in the same way SAMSON or even EMPAR would. I’d like the RN to look into the feasibility of using HVPs from the main guns to take out anti-ship missiles (at 80+km from what I’ve read). As I said above, I would want all escorts fitted with ASMs, but I would draw the line at making an air defence destroyer an ASW platform or vice versa. Phalanx has remained in RN service ever since 1982. That said, I do agree that it would be nice to expand our weapons fits and have some more surface warfare and land attack teeth across the fleet- that to me seems to be where we fall behind our peers the most. Instead of firing bullets the AHEAD rounds contain 152 tungsten projectiles and as the rounds detonate in quick succession to each other the tungsten projectiles are thrown out in a cone shape to take out the target (compare using a shotgun to a rifle). I do think the T-45 is the finest area AAW vessel in NATO today. The lack of continuity results in a lack of familiarity and constantly changes priorities. My 2 companions are 17 and 14, troops are 15, using 3 troop (tried with 3 phalanx, 2 phalanx - 1 halberd, etc) and I am still failing the quest which supposedly is a lvl 12 mission. The Iver Huitfeldt-class seems remarkably cheap, especially with such advanced systems, I would suspect the list price is just for the bare ship and doesn’t include weapons systems, radars etc. WoW Classic WoW Classic Nov 15, 2020 at 22:29 by Starym. The rest utilise the older system, with semi-active seekers (unlike Sea Viper). At that range it could only take out 2 subsonic missiles at most. Either build ships properly or don’t build them at all. We should buy Ospreys for AEW imo. Why they don’t carry Aster 30 Block 1NT I have no idea. “and has a land attack capability with a decent range but shorter ranged than the JSM.”. Were they subsonic? And CAMM-ER is longer ranged than Aster 15 (although slightly slower). I would expect the loadout to change a bit, but for the sake of argument we could say that it’d carry 10 TLAM and 4 ASROC? And it was the RAN has with the Hobarts. Why are we building anti-ship missiles that don’t have the necessary range when fired from ships? “Also, those ASROC are pointless, they’re a waste of space for a scenario that’ll probably never happen.”. “As far as I’m aware, all RN warships carry pretty sophisticated EW suites- including the carriers.” Well Wikipedia says that Type 23s have UAF-1 ESM or UAT Mod 1. When the target is about 2km away from the ship, the gun opens fire. The upshot is, I think that the RN certainly does look for specialist roles for their more recent escorts, even if Leander was more General Purpose, both the T42 and T22 were later designs to later requirements. I’d go with the second option every time when it comes to frigates and destroyers (and to the carriers too if we had more than just 2 of them). Hardly cutting edge. Remember that this is a warship, the UK made the mistake of overfocussing on ASW throughout the 1970s and then got a beating in 1982 by the Argentine Air Force. It is a bit more complicated than just dropping in some Sky Sabre systems (from what I’ve read they sound great, by the way- although getting the ER missile would nice), but I don’t disagree that it could be a good idea if one of our carriers sail into particularly contested waters. Everything I’ve read, from multiple sources, have stated that the primary purpose of the T42 was to provide wide area air defence against Soviet bomber fleets. Well, again, teething troubles and crews getting familiarised with the new system are going to be issues if you just plonk a new system on a ship. Phalanx, the hive grows... Introduction and General Foreshadowing Narrator: It was a dark and stormy night. Wish they did this for a lot more things. Plus worryingly Kalibr and Zircon can also be fired from subs, Kalibr can also be fired from aircraft and containers. I mean surely they’ve found a way to make it work? Sage Guide: Classic WoW Leveling Guide (Alliance 1-60). We’re in massive debt already. (HMS Edinburgh, 2012), The forward mount being fitted to RFA Tidespring in Cammell Laird shipyard. Why do we give money to Pakistan, India and China for example? It would have 3 gun-based layers of defence operating at 5km, 8km and 16km, instead of just Phalanx operating at just 1.5km. The power unleashed by his "rebirth" was so massive it shattered a large section of the Redr… I didn’t bookmark the article though. What if the Aster misses for some reason? One was near the Green bean coffee shop. Just a thought. When World of Warcraft’s Burning Crusade expansion launched, the Raven Lord was one of the most highly sought mounts in the entire game due to its unique model and dashing looks. And I’d like to see Meteor fitted to our F-35Bs much sooner than 2024 (to take out the archer rather than the arrows). Then there is the weight and logistics of the unit to consider, not only are the russian systems through-deck, so you can’t just bolt them on anywhere you like but have to be heavily integrated into the ship. There are reports that this mount currently cannot drop at all. The mountain is actually a volcano that was created at the end of the War of the Three Hammers when the Dark Iron Lord, Thaurissan, accidentally summoned Ragnaros the Firelord from his prison in the Firelands. It doesn’t mention any EW suite on the QE or POW. The OSD for Sea Wolf is end of 2020! Well strictly speaking Sea Ceptor is the system, whereas CAMM is the missile that it fires. And to take out such missiles you need SM-3, SM-6, Aster 30 Block 1NT (and Block 2 BMD when it’s ready), not CIWS or other gun-based defences, which are to take out less fast sea-skimming missiles, along with Aster 15, Aster 30 and CAMM (and potentially HVPs too). Well 25 AHEAD rounds detonating in extremely quick succession to each other would send out 3,800 tungsten projectiles at up to 5km away from a ship. You and I are in full agreement there, no need for the 4.5” gun- I’d go with a 57 mm like the T31 or the 76 mm you recommend for whatever replaces T45. Phalanx remains an affordable (because we already have it) way to add some extra protection against a limited set of specific threats might be more truthful ? This means they have to volley fire against every target, while a T45 needs to only fire once.”. Simple font replacement and font scaling for the default UI. With the Shadowlands release, many new mounts can be farmed by collectors. Each launcher can carry 16 CAMMs and they can be replenished at sea, which is a huge plus in wartime. All 3 cannons firing 3P programmable ammunition will be invaluable. Once you’ve purchased the 180 Days Game Time product in the Shop, the Dreadwake mount … when they come along”. It is all about penny pinching nothing more. Amongst some naval enthusiasts, CIWS have almost become fetishised with arguments that Phalanx should be carried by virtually every vessel in the Naval Service as some kind of virility sign. “These systems operate using very specific sensors, advanced decision making software, and then emit signals (in acoustic ranges for anti-torpedo systems, and RF for missiles). There are plans to fit the F-35 with the JSM (based on the NSM): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Strike_Missile#Joint_Strike_Missile “Studies have shown that the F-35 would be able to carry two of these in its internal bays, while additional missiles could be carried externally.”. Ideally though I’d prefer a better baseline so that ships have multiple layers of defence. It has minimal FOD, cheap etc. The Block 1B upgrade PSuM (Phalanx Surface Mode) launched in 1999 was the most significant update so far, a response to navies increasingly operating in the congested littoral areas. This has a proven ballistic missile tracking capability greater than 2000km. Consider that the conventional Horizons generated more ‘power’ than the IEP T45, how did that happen? On paper, the more capable system but Goalkeeper never achieved the global sales success of the lighter/simpler Phalanx competitor which benefits from a large userbase and logistic support together with continuous development. “Meaning that in all likelihood we should get prior notice to sending the carriers into a high threat environment, giving the Navy time, and more importantly, the politicians the incentive to create the funds to emergency purchase standalone systems from the US the same way they buy ammunition just before heading off to take part in a military operation. Plus it would be good if TLAMs could be fired from aircraft, especially the F-35B. That means that our launch platforms don’t have to be completely stealthy prior to launch. These all got rolled up in T12(M) which eventually became Leander…. And if there’s the space on the Type 45s, I’d also add 2 ADL launchers, which can also be quad-packed with CAMMs (or ESSMs), and have the huge advantage that they can be replenished at sea, which could potentially make the difference between life and death in wartime. the larion looks like a flying mount, the phalanx looks like a ground mount. And Atlantic Conveyor had no protection whatsoever. They’re Atlantic Conveyors waiting to happen. I’d like us to buy some and carry out stringent realistic tests with them, then buy the system that works best. The micro FCS will only be pulling from the attached EOS (camera’s, IR sensor etc) & ballistic radar etc. I thought that was the whole reason cold launch was invented in the first place. Not doing so would be short-sighted, foolish and negligent. The Artisan plus SeaCeptor is a known combination and will still relevant in 10 years, so long as obsolescence is managed. If you’re going to build ships that cost over £3 billion each and that take ages to build, then properly arming and defending them is vital. Not having AEW aircraft on our carriers put us at a huge disadvantage and not being able to launch supersonic fighters to intercept Argentinian jets no doubt cost us ships and lives too. I’d go with Sea Ceptor (as many as will fit), Oerlikon Millennium Guns with AHEAD ammo and OTO Melara 76mm guns with DART and PFF ammo. Two down votes for more facts. With cats & traps we could have Hawkeyes, Growlers and 4th gen jets for redundancy and to act as missile trucks for the F-35s. The gun barrels are removed and the radome assumes the horizontal position protected by a cap for transport and installation. I’ll still stick with the RBS-15, purely because the LRASM is stupidly expensive and we’re getting Perseus soon, but I’ll accept your point that if money were no object then LRASM would be a decent idea. This included a new AESA radar and more advanced gun fire control. Block 1 increased ammunition capacity from 990 to 1,550 rounds and a new preloaded ammunition loader/unloader cart dramatically reduced reload time to 5 minutes. I’m not sure if the main naval gun would have to be removed to make space for the OTO Melara (OM) or whether the main gun could be kept and there’d still be space for an OM, but if I had to choose one over the other I’d go with the OM because DART and PFF ammo give you two more layers of defence against anti-ship missiles (to complement the Millennium Gun) and VULCANO rounds have a huge 40km range. Plus I read an article recently that said the RN tested SeaRAM a while back and wasn’t that impressed with it. It’s cheaper than replacing a sunk ship. Or else develop new caps that don’t break up when the missile fires. This is also programmable, but crucially it is also a guided round. All of our surface warships are equipped the Sea Sentor system already, which is similar in concept to SCUTTER, although I couldn’t say which is better. The C-802 is based on Cold War-era French technology.”. The Oerlikon Millennium Gun with AHEAD ammo, the Thales RAPIDSeaGuardian with A3B ammo, the OTO Melara 76mm with PFF ammo and the Bofors Mk4 40mm with 3P ammo all provide air burst capability to take out anti-ship missiles. It is looted from Splinter Fist Warrior. can come along when they’re ready.”. (Obviously neither will fly in shadowlands until pathfinding) It could and should fly at some point as wings aren't needed to fly in wow but I feel like it's going to come up. This is why I’d like us to buy AV-8B carriers from the US (assuming they have any spare and want to sell us some) and we should significantly upgrade them to give us some measure of redundancy. The mount and game time bundle is available for $77.94 and the offer runs through October 21st. Its a part of the anti-countermeasure response. It’s common sense. Especially when you consider how many crew and troops these ships carry. Support ships could also do with Oerlikon Millennium Guns, microwave weapons and the Scutter torpedo countermeasure (I assume they’d need to also be fitted with towed array sonar for Scutter to work so maybe something like Swordfish). Of course this doesn’t necessarily mean that the carriers don’t have EW suites. An specialist area air defence vessel will need all it’s silos filled with SAM. I’m just referring to the differences between a high-threat an low-threat environments. My preference though would be scrapping the Type 31s. If you can’t reach out and touch the sub from a ship before the sub shoots at you, you’re better attacking it from the sky with helicopters like we do currently. – Aster 15s, Aster 30s and CAMMs: We lack enough of these missiles and they’re all too short ranged. “Your point about being woefully under armed begs the question: compared to what?”. Do you know what the AW609 will cost? As missile technology evolved, Raytheon has developed the Phalanx System in response. How do I get a mount in WoW? Surely they’re totally unrelated issues? “France and Italy have an ASROC-style ASW torpedo based upon their MU90- I’m willing to bet we could modify it for Stingray.” I don’t really see the point. “I was thinking in line with that philosophy. i'm guessing the mounts only count towards mount achievements if you belong to the appropriate covenant.which means that Necrolord would be the best for achievement hunters. I roger up to most of your comments. All told, I don’t think that the T45 is any more a one trick pony than the Horizon class, and only a bit less broadly capable than a Burke because it lacks land attack options. You might argue that this includes a missile system, but why not just have a separate system for missiles such as RAM (or Sea Ceptor)? Even the USAF, which could hardly be called a poor air force, has said that the F-35 is too expensive to fly and maintain: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/21/magazine/f35-joint-strike-fighter-program.html “An important measure of the cost, sustainability and value of the new jet is its total operating cost. Aster 30 Block 2 BMD is currently under development. It is stupid. Obviously this doesn’t take inflation into account, but this is still about half the cost of a Type 45 or Type 26 and far better equipped than a Type 31. Asmongold Reacts to "Why Blackrock Depths is the Greatest MMORPG Dungeon of all time" by Tips Out - … $332 million is £257 million. As with US Naval SAMs their use as ASHMs is very much a secondary role to AAW, its better than having no ASHM at all. Therefore, there will be air support with T26s and T45s making up the group. “Well, the fixed armaments I mention include the main gun, the Phalanx (outdated or not, they’re there), the DS30s on the T23s (? I repeat, our vessels are not under-armed compared to their NATO peers. Much of the foreign aid money ends up in tax havens and isn’t used to help anyone except the people who earn interest on the money. The T45 (in deployment fitout with the Harpoon launchers) is as capable as any other NATO AAD destroyer when it comes to surface warfare; Burkes, Horizons, FREDAs all carry 8No. World of Warcraft features an easy low-level mount set for players to ride with each race in the Alliance & Horde factions. After all, where else are Type 31s going to be used? After all, the missiles that an aircraft carries are just as important as the aircraft itself. I’d much rather the escorts up their missile carrying capacity, partly because the RN prefers to separate out their capabilities and I defer to their experience on the operational side, but because they already have the fire control systems in place. “not to mention being escorted everywhere by some very capable AAW escorts.”.
