    Ppl dont realise that not all the type 23s weren't all anti submarine specialists as in the late 80s early 90s only 8 were upgraded as asw ships & the rest were converted to general purpose frigates so there's no difference number wise with the amount of type 26s & 31s etc let alone when the 32s r started, the Artisan radar system is already used on the type 23s after their modernisation refits, the QE aircraft carriers & the 1st 2 type 26s r floated & having its weapons & electric warfare suits fitted out b4 when hms Glasgow the 1st T26 off the production line starts its sea trial in the first quarter of 2025!!

    Could the United States be given control of the planning and purchasing of the Australian navy's needs for ships because Australia governments pathetic reasoning for picking the inferior Spanish design for lower purchase prices and quicker arrival of a totally inferior ship just follows a pattern of bad design and inferior weapons on these ships. But this is the Australian government's way of purchasing Australian Navy ships and also submarines just following a decades long history of Australian government poor political decision making, that has eventually led us to a place of non-arrival submarines and ineffective ships that really make us a much easier target for unfriendly overseas navies, such as the Chinese navy, as was proven when 3 Australian navy ships on a friendly visit to Vietnam were pulled up and virtually for a time held captive by the PLA's navy until they decided to release them, fortunately for us. These ships are really mainly for patrolling they're just not competitive with modern foreign navy's much stronger weapon and anti-drone higher capacity foreign designs.

    I think Australia should build patrol boats for our regional friends such as East Timor, PNG, the Solomon Islands, Fiji and the new country of Bouganville. I think we should encourage NZ to build up their navy by building a corvette or two and selling it to NZ at a reduced rate.

    German here. The class is named after my state. This ship represents our stupid German politicians after the "end of history" in sheet metal. So our “warship” should be like a German dream car. Expensive, hyper-modern, flexible, few operating personnel and operating costs. But with (imagined) Lego brick mission modules that are deployed in a very short time, connected to the ship's electronics with one click and ready for use. Ideally everything should be fully automated, just no expensive people who might cause problems with their gender diversity. Everything is built to last and ideally far away at sea, very far from Berlin. The necessary marines are transferred to the ship at sea. Why heavy weapons? Ideally, German politicians see the responsibility and the bad press in England or, even better, in France. You can comfort them in a “brotherly” way with clean fingers (joke). No matter, now in the video you can see the existing (empty) step extension for a missile combat system on the foredeck. It was never implemented ...

    Fine video. I think this ship is just enough for its own in the peace time we have now, but in a war situation, the ship will alone, not be very able to defend it self, but that is also just non realistic situation. In case of some kind of war, big or small, the ship will be part of a strikeforce, combined with Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Belgium, French, and UK forces. Maybe also Norwegian ships. All countries that will operate in northern part of Europe. I also think that these ships will not operate alone without the German Type 212A Submarine supporting them. Beside this, when the new Type F126 Frigats, which 6 have been ordered, start to come, the German navy will be quite potent.

    The best example of what can be done when two allies like Spain and Australia join forces, a pity there's only 3, let's be honest, both the F100 and F110 designs are better than the British frigates you have bought, even the RAN agrees on that, they wanted more F100s but politics got in the way and now you have a ship that will be late and twice as expensive as planned. Lets hope that with the new programme your government will make the right choices. 🇪🇸🤝🇦🇺

    in the Type 26 future multi mission frigate program the 24-cell VLS for the Sea Ceptor surface-to-air missile should be swapped in favour of the proven Mk41 & Mk48 VLS or the SYLVER A90 VLS for that matter . . . it's nowhere as versatile as the Mk41 & Mk48 . . . and RIM-162B ESSM semi-active radar guided surface-to-air missile instead of the Sea Ceptor . . . it's time Royal Navy realize & stop making one mistake after another . . . for e.g. Royal Navy's QE2 class 82,632 ton (86,243 loaded) multi mission (STOVL) aircraft carrier powered by iFuelCell2™ M-FEP system . . . a brilliantly designed & (British) built carrier with certain flaws that are no longer less forgiving . . . so much so that the navy is thinking of selling the two STOVL carriers to interested customers like India & Brazil . . .

    Well the Disaster-Ship got lots of Mistakes: - As expensive as four #Elbphilharmonie concert halls in Hamburg. - The ship is listing 1.3 degrees to starboard, as listed in a confidential addendum to the armament report after the 2017 trials. - The promised ammunition is not available for the new ship gun and made by an Italian Company. - The frigate is overweight. It was already discovered in 2016 that the Baden-Württemberg exceeded the contractually agreed weight by 178 tons. - The naval officer says that when they were planned, no one thought that the Navy would ever have to fight at sea.✋😆🍷 - At that time, "stabilization missions" were the focus of the German army. The frigates can therefore take special forces on board and have helicopters and four speedboats with them. They can detect divers approaching the ship, but the crew would not even notice if a submarine or torpedo was heading towards them. They cannot defend themselves against submarines or torpedoes at all. - Wrong Fire Protection Color inside was painted. - The underwater paint on the hull didn't hold either. It chipped off over large areas, allowing mussels to attach themselves to the hull. - much more.....

The IWO JIMA LPH Helicopter Carrier class ships carried 2100 troops and more on LSD and LST in the ARG's. That way we didn't lose everything at once.

    The Hobart has some weakness the EGIS only has PESSA technology and I think only 2 fire control radars for terminal phase guidance of Missiles. It also has a limited number of mk 41 VLS. It is an inferior design to the Type 45 destroyer of the Uk that has AESA does not need to guide missiles in the terminal phase and carries 48 VLS with another 24 on the way for Sea Ceptor. The AEGIS is also built onto the superstructure and has a shorter radar horizon then a mast mounted radar.... the Auzis should have bought British...
