00:09:29 Conclusion and Summary
The Hobart Class is originally a Spanish design ( Álvaro de Bazán )far from being uniquely Australian. The weakness of both is the size of their missile magazines. Both have less than 50 cells though the vertical launch cells on the Hobart class can be quad packed with ESSM.
A strength of the Hobart class is that the VLS cells can be fitted with a broad range of other missiles such as LRASM etc. I’m not sure about the cells on the Type 45.
Great content!
Here are my humble comments
1. We all salute the brave young men and women who put their lives on the line for their countries.
2. However, the MoD, Royal Navy and defence industry fails them just like any other defence system/ platform development and procurement. The cost of those are horrendous compare to peers/ allies. For example, new KDDX (SKorea’ next gen destroyer) is expected to cost almost half that of T45 or 1/3 of Hobart Class but pack hell lot more punches. It is expected to have 48 cell KVLS 1 (indigenous Mk41) and 36 cell KVLS 2 (9,8m * 850mm cell). In particular, KVLS 2 is to carry some impressive missiles (largely indigenous missiles) including supersonic cruise anti-ship missile (similar to Brahmos or Yakhont), ballistic surface to land missiles (KTSSM1 - bunker buster, KTSSM2/ CTM290 - similar to ATACM, HM2 - 1t warhead with 300km range, HM4 - 6t warhead with 500km range) etc. Even Japanese destroyers are cheaper than both British and Aussie ships…. God knows where we got this wrong but somewhere we are bleeding money and putting our lads at danger for lack of weapons, supplies, maintenance, training and pay.
3. We really need to think outside the box and figure out where it went wrong and come up with solution similar to US, Canada or Aussies, where they are collaborating with Korea and Japan for design and production of their warships. Are we going to put the lives of hundreds and thousands of our boys and girls’ lives for the sake of a few hundred jobs? At this rate, our defence industry will be decimated due to lack of competitiveness and investment.
4. The supply chain and supporting industries are already decimated (eg British Forge Master, UK Steel all dying) hence it is unlikely we will have a quick revival of shipbuilding industry or defence industries. We need to form a longer term partnership with someone else (not bloody Germans or French who also suffer from their high price tags) to co-develop and produce competitive platform.
