Type 45, one of our newest surface vessels. The structure helps house one of the best air defence radars since the Ticos put to sea, she can track and engage more targets than five of her predecessors, the Type 42s, put together...of course, that's when their Sea Viper missiles work right. The ASuW is a bit weak too, just a Quad-Harpoon launcher plus the usual gun system, but there's room for a TLAM/TASM system to be fitted forward of the current VLS area, so hopefully if we find some money down the back of the sofa they'll fit that.
She's a competant ship, but like most British projects, needs a bit of patching post release.
