In search of Type 23 (Duke) class FF Pic

[TLAM Strike]

I need some pics of them to paint a model for Xabba. Please post any pics of them here. A view of the VLS from the top is a must find (I need the arrangement of the missile hatches)...

I already got the ones from Hazygray and GlobalSecurty.

[Drebbel]

How about these ?

It wasn't exactly what I was looking for but the angle was sufficient to see the layout:

If you haven't already tried it, search by the ships names, you'll get a lot of different hits than trying Duke Class or Type 23.

Why did they paint the UK Flag on the top of her bridge?

I might have to add that in, its an intresting detail.

[XabbaRus]

Just you Yanks know for sure it is a friend :)

Oh I also wish ships in DW heeled over like that.

[Abraham]

Why did they paint the UK Flag on the top of her bridge?'cause it's a Brit. Why put the Stars & Stripes on everything?
:D

So everyone knows to duck! :lol: :P

[Kapitan]

so the americans dont bomb it !

weve lost countless me and tanks and stuff due to the americans bombing our equipment during 2003 an A10 flew over a british tank colum and attacked it despite men waving white flags flares the raising of the national flag the A10 continued to attack.

[lesrae]

It's unfair to make fun of the USA for friendly fire incidents, all countries have them; it's just that the USA tends to be involved in more high-publicity conflicts than anyone else, so it's noticed more.

[Kapitan]

cant even recall the last british blue on blue thing it was way before the fallands maybe even world war two i know britain has had blue on blue but not as much as america

[Abraham]

Pretty Off Topic, but I bet there were frendly fire incidents in the many smaller conflicts Britain was involved in since WWII: Aden, Oman Malaysia, Borneo, Northern Ireland, Falklands etc.

[Rotary Crewman]

To be honest we have never been told of any during our training.

Thats not to say there wasn't any, but we haven't been told of them if there was.

[Abraham]

I ment all the Services including inter-Service blue on blue. Must have happened...

[TLAM Strike]

On the Brit BoB thing:
