Some of these anti-air “engagements” have lasted up to 9 hours. At the moment, two Type 45 Destroyers are either in the region or en-route to the area, comprising HMS Diamond (D34) and HMS Duncan (D37).In their present fit, they carry up to 48 Aster anti-air missiles in their VLS, or half of what a US destroyer carries. Under current plans all 6 ships will be refitted to add a 24-cell VLS for the Sea Ceptor missile, bringing the total to 72.Given it’s unlikely we will see more than six Type 83s built, the MoD is going to need to ensure that these ships are potent – meaning a large anti-air capability for fleet defence and to deal with the growing threat of UAVs from Iran-backed groups, and to ensure these ships can provide the necessary protection to our own or allied carrier strike groups in the seas near China – which is developing an increasingly potent carrier-killing missile capability.In an ideal world, the Type 83 will have over 100 VLS cells, with capacity for anti-air, anti-ship and land-attack missiles. The US faces a similar requirement, following cancellation of their proposed CG(X) project and an upgrading to their planned DDG(X) programme – formerly known as the Large Surface Combatant (LSC) initiative. The DDG(X) design currently proposed will feature 128 VLS cells, along with 2x 21-cell RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile launchers in a hull estimated to displace 13,500-tons.The Type 83 is going to need to be a high-end, well-armed cruiser-size ship with long-range. Air defence capabilities to replace the Type 45 destroyers is a must. Land-attack/anti-ship capabilities to complement the Type 26 Frigates will also be necessary, especially in a world where our F-35 purchase is unlikely to be as high as once planned meaning the navy could once again be a major player in offensive strike capabilities (as the US and French navies have been in recent years).We cut the Type 45 programme down from 12 ships to just 6. We cut the Type 26 programme down from 13 ships to just 8. Let’s make sure that if the Type 83 ends up facing cuts, we still get a decent platform out of it – no more ‘fitted for but not with’.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Como ven los británicos quieren un buque que no existe y no va a existir.</blockquote>
