Dude, the 45 uses ASTER in active mode homing (omni-directional system - high resolution 3-D radar). You launch a missile and it needs no illumination from the ship itself to find it's mark. That frickin' rocks. I think the ASTER 30 is out to 100 Km. I love AAW type destroyers. And this one looks exceptional.

I'm not sure this ship is too well known about yet (not a lot of links out there), so it still is not being talked about as much as it should be.
