UK's Type 45

Sea Demon · 02-05-06, 08:22 PM

First of all, I'd like to say to the UK, Congratulations on fielding the new Type 45.

As some of you know, I'm a real AEGIS ship fan. AEGIS is a world standard in naval Air Defense destroyers. It looks, by spec, this Type 45 will outclass AEGIS in a number of ways.

The omni-directional missile system combined with an incredible radar resolution in the 3-D Sampson phased array radar system look to be an incredible combo. (PAAMS) It's argued that this Sampson has a better resolution than the latest SPY-1. But I'm not sure totally if that's been confirmed or not. Definitely possible. The Aster missiles they will use have active radar modes of homing. I know the US Navy has something like this planned in something called ERAM or SM-6. But that's still only in the planning stages. Type 45 incorporates this technology now. Very impressive.

Plus, I'm sure every sailor in the Royal Navy will want to serve on the ship for all the amenities. (large berthing spaces, I-Pod terminals

) Folks, this is one smoking hot destroyer.

The UK should be very proud of this magnificent achievement.

every one wants to get on it thats true think they had half the navy asking for transfers

Godalmighty83 · 02-06-06, 08:39 AM

its generaly seen as the start of a new era in the navy, what with the 45's and the designs being drawn up for 2 new carriers.

Oberon · 02-06-06, 08:39 AM

Bout time they put some money in the Navy

Rotary Crewman · 02-06-06, 08:42 AM

Because the airforce gets shed loads

Kapitan · 02-06-06, 08:48 AM

20 year old tornados wont save us any more well not much nor will harriers we need some serious upgradeing

Rotary Crewman · 02-06-06, 09:10 AM

Not just the airforce! All over!

Sending the British army to a desert theater wearing green camo is stupid.

JSLTIGER · 02-06-06, 10:27 AM

I dunno. I really don't think that 20 year old planes are all that obsolete. The F-15, F-16 and F/A-18 squadrons in the world would probably agree.

Not to mention the B-52 squadrons. The B-52 was introduced in 1954...52 years ago!

I mean, of course there's no contest when facing an F-22, but until they come online in greater numbers, and the F-35s are delivered, these planes should be fine, as there's nothing that they can't do that other planes in the world can.

Rotary Crewman · 02-06-06, 11:03 AM

Its not so much the aircraft. Its the amount the RAF has. We're overstretched as it is and putting an aircraft through more frame hours than it can take is not a good idea.

Godalmighty83 · 02-06-06, 01:29 PM

tornadoes are still good aircraft, but their replacements need to start coming within the next 7 years, even if its the trouble hit JSF's and eurofighters (now performing very well in tests)

XabbaRus · 02-06-06, 03:33 PM

I thought the Type 45 would have been more discussed on the Strategypage.com forum....

Sea Demon · 02-06-06, 08:12 PM

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.

Type 45 Daring

Times:-
Each new D class destroyer will also have more firepower than the Royal Navyâ€™s combined fleet of eight Type 42
destroyers once she is installed. â€œOne D class ship would be able to knock out the same number of targets
as eight Type 42s because its missile system can track and attack multiple incoming aircraft and missiles,â€
a Navy source said.

BBC:-
Lt Cdr Dean Woodruff RN, who has been overseeing Daring's progress, said she was something
special for the Royal Navy. More space has been allocated for recreational areas including
the first purpose built fitness centre. The old-style messes accommodating 30 or 40 men have been replaced
by cabins which sleep six.
All ranks were asked what they would like on board Daring and 95%of their ideas have been incorporated.**
