  • The UK's next generation air defence platform, The Type 83 Mega Destroyer, is a 10,000-tonne, 180-metre-long. The new mega ships, scheduled to be deployed in the late 2030s, will replace the existing Type 45 class destroyers and introduce a range of new capabilities with the vessels including ballistic and hypersonic missile defenses and directed energy weapons.

      Depends. When Gordon Brown, finally agreed to build the Carriers he insisted that they were assembled in the Rosyth Naval Dockyard in his constituency.
      Both, Vickers - Barrow-in-Furness, and Cammell Laird - Birkenhead, yards would have been better choices.
      The highest part of the Carrier, is only 10 foot from the lowest part of the Forth Bridge.

    The Type 83 is likely to have 3 core roles. 1) Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) - defence against aircraft, hypersonic and conventional anti-ship missiles. 2) Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) defence for the fleet, and potentially to provide an umbrella over land areas, including the UK mainland. ABM missiles may also have some anti-satellite capability. 3) Land-Attack Cruise Missiles (LACM) to bolster the UK’s current inadequate ability to attack targets ashore at long range.

      Ironically , they wont have that much resistance this time around
      The Type-45 performed very well in the red sea however the critics pointed that the US Arleigh Burke showed clear superiority over the Type-45
      The Type-45 Aster missiles limited its range to just 75 miles while the US Burkes were engaged targets hundreds miles away with SM-6s and SM-3s
      The crux was that Burkes could fire on targets on land with Tomahawks within minutes whereas RN had to rely on the RAF to strike back offensively which would take hours
      Lastly, the Type-45 payload was just 48 missiles and the planned additional of 24 Sea Ceptors is still short of the Burke 90 to 96 payload. The US also had Ticonderoga class cruisers with its massive 122 payload deployed to the Red Sea.
      Critics noted how much more firepower the US able to deploy while the RN on the other hand
      The US only problem was replenishment of missiles but that was negated with use of F-18s from carriers taking over as well existence of the AIM-174
      So the RN shouldnt encounter too much resistance this time around

    Naval gun fire support with a 5" gun ??? Not a chance. 5" gun has a range of 15 miles. No one in their right mind is going to put a 10,000 ton ship costing several billion pounds 15 milles miles, within visual range, from a shore battery. And that's assuming you are shelling the beach and not 5 miles inland. It's not going to happen.
    The last time we carried out NGS was the Falklands 82, and things have changed. The Russians can't counter Ukrainian sea drones launched from 100+ miles away.
    A bigger problem is, like the Kirov of the Soviet era, you have all your eggs in one basket. It's going to be a missile / drone magnet 🧲. And, if theres only going to be 3 or 4 of them, you'll only have 2 available at any one time. That's 1 per carrier.
    A better solution would be to arm the carriers ( like every other carrier in the world) with Aster 30 missiles and have more lighter hulls akin to the Arleigh Burke class with more missiles.

      The Burkes benefited from economy of scale so many of them were made that it reduced the per unit cost as things like parts bulk purchasing, tooling up the production lines for the class, the workforce getting more efficient due to working on the same class for so long (with upgrades added as time goes on) and the r&d costs for developing the class were spread across so many Hulls the T45's by comparison only ended up with 6 units so these costs weren't spread out very far which helped to contribute to the high per unit cost.

      There are arguments for building under licence but again tooling has to be taken into consideration.
      We built AH64 D Apache Longbow under licence and what a debacle that was. The book " Lions,donkeys and dinosaurs", waste and blundering in the British military, covered the purchase in one of its sections.

      Now slightly above 10,000 tons ships fill the role of destroyers.
      It's definitely close enough to existing destroyers:

      And they were crap 💩. The batch 1+2 were criminally under armed. That's why the Type 22 batch 3 got the 4.5" gun, 8 Harpoon, and a Goalkeeper.

      @@stephennelmes4557 the type 22 was designed for anti submarine warfare, seawolf was its point defense system, at the time of it’s design the primary task for the RN was to close the Greenland/Iceland/UK gap to Russian North fleet submarines. It was never seen to be a general purpose frigate. The batch 3, with the Mk8 gun, was the result of the Falklands, firstly to replace the lost type 21’s and 42’s, and the realisation that more than anti submarine was required. Goalkeeper was not purchased for any ship until after 1982.

      ​​​@@paulhill1665 Yes, mate, I know. I spent 25 years in the Royal Navy 79 -04, and did 3 years on Brave as a radar operator carrying out 2 × three month towed array patrols in the GIUK gap. My point was the weapons were shit. Seawolf GWS 25 only had a range of 3.5 NM and you only got 12 missiles ready to fire. 2 missiles were to be fired at any one target to increase the likelihood of a hit. 1 from aft, 1 from fwd. That meant after 6 engagements they had to be reloaded manually.
      Exocet MM38, only 4 missiles. Range 22.5 NM. Pathetic.
      I read a report in 1988 in the Ops room on Brave concerning Exocet missile firings. Of the 10 missiles fired during trials 3 had faulty altimeters and ditched on their way to the target. 2 failed to launch, and only 5 hit the target.
      22.5 nautical miles is spitting distance when the Soviets could launch from 160 NM. And for the passive sonar to be effective the ship had to be away from the main force so you'd have little in the way of decent surface to air missile cover. The first batch 2s went to sea with Bofors 40/60. 😂😂

      Sea wolf was still a step change from Seacat, saw the Brave once, we used her as a practice target.

      ​@@paulhill1665😂😂 I worked with Seacat in conjunction with the PO ( G ) in the Ops room on the Arethusa. It was said by many to be our primary ASW weapon 😂😂.
      I believe the Brave was sunk north of Scotland by a Spearfish and two harpoons. Shame. Good looking ships, just crap weapons.

    China already built over 10k ton cruiser and superior radar and technology on board, and Korea navy built over 10K destroyer as well and no one said most feared warship. How come you are so hyped with UK navy destroyer?😂😂😂
