- Building the Type 45 Destroyers at BAE Systems' Govan and Scotstoun Shipyards on the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland.
HMS Duncan: cutting first plate of steel to maiden voyage: 55 months. 2.3 million man-hours; £1.07 billion; 8,000 tonnes of material; 100,000 square metres of Motherwell steel weighing in at 2,800 tonnes; 40 tonnes of paint; two 33-tonne propeller blades; one 4.5" Main Gun firing twenty-five 40kg shells up to 27km every minute; 2 Rolls-Royce gas turbine engines and 2 diesel generators capable of powering a city the size of Aberdeen; 2 anchors; 564km of electrical cables; 48 Sea Viper anti-air missiles with a range of up to 120km; 2,210 square metres of carpet; 404 telephones; a radar capable of tracking a tennis ball travelling at three times the speed of sound over 250 miles away; 800 compartments; 94 cabins; 220 beds; 100 sinks; 54 showers; 1 bathtub...
Simply geogious. It's a shame to think that the original order of twelve Type-45 Destroyers was cut down to just six. These beauties just look amazing sailing next to the Queen Elizabeth-class Carriers. Remember hearing that they were also in the top three most powerful destroyers for like a decade after the first launch - and top five still.
What a cool way to build a ship.
Arguably the most beautiful destroyer and the most potent.
What a great video btw.
👍
You beat me to it. This ship has great lines and everything flows esthetically. Definitely a shark.
You know, I thought the tower to be a tad odd when I first saw it. But a decade later, damn if it ain't one of the most beautiful ships I ever seen.
I think phallic is a better word to describe it
Can we have another six please?
Should have built more of them.
Wish Gov would order 6 more as a Batch 2 order.
Then you would have paid more for its engine overheating troubles
@@thejeffinvade No because a solution has been found for the engines, Dauntless is currently in the refit (The one in the video), Daring is waiting to be towed to Devonport to get the refit done, Diamond is in a different refit, Duncan has just returned from a Deployment so she will need to go through maintenance, Dragon is deployed and Defender is deployed. It's just a matter of finding the time to refit them, if Batch II were built they would be built to the solution.
Much more and three more aircraft carriers
@@seansands424
5 carriers is overkill for current requirements, crewing and defense budget.
It would be nice to have a third carrier so one can be deployed and another on standby while one is in maintenance, refit etc.
Either way the first priority is acquiring more frigates destroyers and attack subs the current numbers especially for frigates and destroyers are to low (also eventually replacing amphibious assault assets).

Это видео я просмотрел ещё прежде: видео это замечательное (ещё тогда и поставил "лайк"). Но!
Но вот о том, что у кораблей такого класса (типоразмера) есть и существуют Весьма Высокие Покровители - то есть, Особы, которые принимают участие в конфирмации этого (и такого) судна, - это я узнал сравнительно недавно. Узнал из Википедии, кстати говоря.
В результате чего, это - когда-то уже виденное мной видео - заиграло для меня новыми красками и приобрело для меня новый блеск!

Спасибо!
Royal navy need at least another 5 to 6 off these world class off ships please stop shrinking our royal navy and start building it up again thank you
Richard Pierece It’s a shame that the RN is not getting enough funds. For an Island nation, UK really need a strong navy (like it always had).
We should have built more of these and only 1 aircraft carrier. The 2 of them are taking so many crew, that other vessels are either under crewed or berthed up until more recruits pass through. Problem is few 17 - 25 Yo's want to join up for any of the Armed Forces.
Your navy is literally only going to have 2 fleets bc of the carriers. Need to be more flexible.
We were actually going to have twelve of these Type-45s, but budget cuts dropped it to eight, then six.
@Akin Khoo
And yet Russia whose economy isnt even ranked in the top ten can support a fleet of
1 Aircraft Carrier
2 Battlecruisers
3 Cruisers
12 Destroyers
11 Frigates
79 Corvettes
2 Patrol Ships
48 mine countermeasure vessels
65+ Ballistic missile/attack submarines
The UK has more than enough money to support a large navy the political will just isnt there so the money gets spent on other things like overpriced high speed rail construction, foreign aid to countries with nuclear and space programs and easily abused benefit programs.......
As for Japan they could support a much larger navy than they currently have as well but the same problem with political will applies to them (the specifics may vary).
12 destroyers is chump change in the scheme of things.
The UK's foreign aid budget for this year alone even after £2.9b was cut due to covid is enough to outright purchase/build another 15 T45 destroyers..... this isnt even counting the fact the listed price for a single T45 is only so high because the order was cut down forcing the company to make its R&D costs back on fewer hulls.
If after all this is over the £2.9b was given to the Royal Navy they could easily afford to build one or two new destroyers per year with change left over for the other costs such as recruitment, training and crewing, these vessels can then be used to patrol shipping lanes or even to provide a limited first response capability to areas hit by natural disasters as a form of "foreign aid".
One of those high speed rail link projects I mentioned earlier would have been enough to purchase 16 T45 destroyers.
Years ago the UK government wanted to implement a new ID card system that failed, this ID card project was a money sink worth 18 T45 destroyers.
The UK's Trident missile programme ended up so far over budget that the excess is worth 50 T45 destroyers.
An NHS electronic records database that saw fewer than 200 out of the projected 9,000 health organisations country wide making use of the database cost the equivalent of 26 T45 destroyers and saw very little use.
Over the past 2 decades the UK government has WASTED so much money with its mishandled projects that they could have outright purchased 110 T45 destroyers just from the projects I mentioned above, dont even get me started on mishandled gold sales/purchases or replacing "lost phones" for civil servants.
Nice ship, shame there’s only 6 of them. Probably more coming in the future though, 6 isn’t enough.
Steven Li I would like at least another 12. In the 1980’s Britain had over 40 frigates. 6 isn’t anything.
@@leathers4340 well that is ok then type 45 is a destroyer not a frigate.
Oh yeh, build many more warships. Why do we need these ships? Waste of money. We have submarines that can destroy anything, ballistic missiles and many other ships. There should be no more built, was stupid in the first place

A navies only purpose isn’t war fighting , security of shipping lanes , anti piracy , anti air ?
@@springer3783 such as?
Alteast 10 Type 45 Destroyers should have been build. 😳
canada do we want one these with the frigates

Have you seen the vid where there drifting an aircraft carrier?
@@im_gxld6569 which ones?
Theres drifting vids for Nimitz and Gerald Ford that I've seen so far.
Kakarot yea it was a Nimitz aircraft carrier
@@im_gxld6569
Well in that case you'll like the Ford carrier doing its drifting routine as well

What a wonderful video! :-)
Great Job 🇬🇧

Maybe Airfix should have a go at shipbuilding?
There so much bigger than you think!

We need a bigger fleet 6 aircraft 60 destroyers and 120 frigates and it is affordable over 10 year period
Nobody to man such a navy , too many middle class protestors , having so many people go to uni was a mistake. No need for 50% of pop to have uni education
hello how long takes to build the type 45 from cut steel to sailing warship? or another warship more or less.?
How this compares to a Arleigh Burke Flight 3 or even a 2?
I'm surprised the Canadians and the Australians haven't purchased these.
It's a shame we didnt build hulls 7 and 8 to speed up the T26 as the T26 had actually taken a lot longer, 2027 by the time the first is operational, that nine year of building for 1 ship, compared to the QEs which took less it's an absolute embarrassment, it's a shames we had to sacrifice them for no reason.
Dope
Nothing more fun than doing donuts in a ship
Здорово!
seems agile.
Start funding on new Royal Navy
I'm bringing back the EMPIRE 🇬🇧
It needs CANZUK for British Empire reboot and modernisation.
Yeah bring back the empire of theifs
FBI i saw you many times at other comment section

Where did you get the footage? DONT YOU ANSWER QUESTIONS
A very nice design for sure! Only gripe is that hump for the VLS, couldn’t it be more flush with the deck like a Burke? I suppose it’s because if a Darrings draft being less?
it's designed that way so a Mk41 silo can slot in if needed...
Shame they put the wrong one in - A70 instead of A50 would completely negate the need for the MK41.
what music title pls
One day they'll regret getting rid of the Govan yard cranes. The crane hire companies will be loving it. Yet again more money wasted in ship yards. British industry at its best .
Мне только не вполне понятно, почему показывается, что корабль находится под флагом служебных / чиновничьих судов (гражданских, понятно)? Или это только до тех пор, пока не будут закончены испытания?
Its sad that the U.K. has one of the smallest navies now when they used to be number 1 in terms of how many ships and total tonnage.
Joseph Ybarra Britain used to rule the world and the waves. We had the top technology and weapons and our navy was top notch. Where did it all go wrong?

Love the new ship! Wish it still hat the Queen's rum aboard! And I don't buy the bit about the tennis ball at all.
Well it was a cricket ball but hey who’s measuring..
Don’t forget to cover it all with ACF50.
I'll take one !!
Where did you get the footage?
Ok why don't the heat exchangers work? Been in dry dock for how many months?
The power systems work. Always have. The issue with the engine is the ‘intercooler-recuperator’ system designed to reduce the heat signature and improve efficiency of the GTs. It fails, which trips out the GTs which then trips out the diesels. However the Navy have had workarounds and no T45 has failed to complete a tasking. Its a mess but manageable and the two Wartsilla diesels will be replaced by three RR diesels to avoid overloads and change how the T45s use power systems.
Duncan has been in major refit since late 2019 undergoing system refurbishment and upgrades as all warships do. This is not exceptional. She left dry dock (with HMS Defender) in mid February this year.
Good music !!!
Why don’t war ships have triple long turrets it’s pretty clear they need them one gun is not enough
because we use missiles instead. The gun at the front is just for shore bombardment.
yep, guns are for shore bombardment to support amphibious landings. Missiles kill ships these days
Thats one long winded way to build a ship. How long did that take?! No the wonder we're short of vessels.
It’s actually. A quicker y
Way in most respects.
Far quicker and better quality result building modules under cover. The modules are near 90% complete with wiring and piping already fitted.
55 months from first cut to sea trials.
They should build more so they can protect queen elizabeth prince of whales and us massive carriers give the specs to America so we can help build many 45 for our 2 country’s safety .awesome platform.thanks Britain for being America’s number 1 Allie got speed.god bless uk
Hammerschlägen M 👍prince of Wales god bless Great Britain America’s number 1 Allie 👍🤙
WHERE DID YOU GET THE FOOTAGE ??????
BAE obviously
Argentina os tua best Darth for tua queen
*I wonder how they Built the USS Montana...*
Island nation, best way to get conquered is having a small navy
These turned out to be crap in the end. Coz the engines couldn’t operate in heat
We needed 12 not 6.
Political decision to reduce to 6 from the 12 originally planned because of budget constraints, what a bad decision to make,there's politicians for you.
@@stuartwalker9762 Ships 7 and 8 were sacrificed for the Type 26 programme,that didnt go well either,sheer and absolute madness !.
4:51, ...nobody's gonna point it out.
Should have built 12, and bought more f35s for the carriers, then we wouldn't need the US marines to bulk up our deck space.
The US marines dont "bulk up" the deck space and at that how would increasing the amount of ships solve it? Seems like you're just spewing utter shit.
John Wright america has 9 wasp class aircraft carriers for the us marines.you need to fill it up with some british marines on your ships.
Marshal Montez
It’s because all the f35 aircraft haven’t been delivered yet so some of US marine aircraft our going to deploy , were all going to the same place anyways lol
HiddenAssassin32 Currently onboard HMS Queen Elizabeth there are 15 F35Bs out of a capacity of 40, 10 are from the USMC and only 5 are British F35s, I’d call that the “bulk” wouldn’t you? So not only do we have a super-carrier with a skeleton air arm but 2/3s of the jets onboard don’t even belong to the navy or nation who built and owns the vessel. And yeah we should have built another 6 type 45 destroys, which being destroyers obviously don’t hold any jets, so what’s you’re point there?
Choon 🤘😎
So you can fix a board then you can fix a bike and if you can fix a bike you can fix a car and if can fix a car you can learn to fix one of these... easy

No. No "long live ganja". Just no 😂
Anyone else surprised at 40 tons of paint? I could see it if it was metal flake and clear coat, but seriously, 40 TONS of paint?
Rene Miller the paint consists of a lot of heavy metals designed to absorb radar that’s why they weigh so much it’s a lead based paint and lead is a heavy boi
Valid point
Why naval ships dont have any armor not like ww2 ships have a lot of armor
The modern weapons punch right through.
Just not worth the weight penalty - they use speed and stealth to try and avoid being hit in the first place.
Thats a nice ship you git there. I would be a huge shame if it got hit by an anti-ship missile
Shut up, should we not build anything atall because it “can “ be destroyed, idiot.
@@bulletproofguy5112 Im making a joke and a reference you took it seriously
@@clownsey3382 sorry, im just used to Argentinian or russians saying “one anti ship missile and it’s sunk” bullcrap. Even though it would take a dozen to sink hms qe due to all the redundancy built into her.
Watch out for the exocit missile type 45.
It's a anti air destroyer. One 45 is enough to wipe out the whole argentine airforce lol
tj o• 👍good luck
@@marshalmontez6795 don't need luck against Only 37 combat aircraft in the entire airforce lol one UK supercarrier can hold over double that number of f35s lol one anti air destroyer is enough to remove any airborne threat. Frigates and submarines do ship to ship,type 45 does air. Oh and failing that UK has like 156 state of the art typhoon fighter jets and already 18 f35s stealth jets that'll increase to 138. So watch out for hellfires,brimstones ,tomahawks etc hope you got good cwis.
Not good idea to threaten people.

Oh look! A ship that can't hunt subs, take down aerial targets at long ranges, sink other ships or do land-attack!
The Aster 30 missile has a 120km range. Their Wildcat helicopters can carry anti-ship missiles or anti-sub torpedoes. The PAAMS air defence system can track 2000 targets simultaneously and coordinate attacks. The T45s have provision for an additional 12 VLS tubes, and if Mk41s were fitted which there is some talk about, Tomahawk land attack missiles could be used.
120km is medium range. A long-range anti-air missile is the SM-6, for example, which has around 400km of range. Their air-defense system is formidable, but is limited by it's missiles.
The idea that the helicopters provide ASW and ASUW capability is a joke, in the real world when fighting a sub you're dead long before you can launch a helicopter with just one or two torpedos - especially when your destroyer is known to be one of the loudest out there and therefore easy to detect and attack by submarines. The same goes for their ASUW capability, as the helicopters can carry a very limited number of missiles.
And I couldn't care less about what they have provision for, as of now they don't have land-attack capability.
So, my points remain. They don't have those capabilities.
The carriers will soon be able to provide air defence in the ranges described. Also, helicopter ASW really isn't a joke. The MoD is extremely short of cash, do you really think they would buy and maintain anything that wouldn't be effective at its job? They can't afford that. Don't start trying to argue with military strategists, the chances are that they are more qualified than you. The anti-ship capability of the T45s isn't great - the Harpoon is old, and soon they are being retired anyway. The Perseus missile looks promising, but it's very early stages. The Sea Venom missile will be advanced, but appropriate for only lighter targets. The Navy's anti-ship capability mostly comes in the form of the submarines. Overall, while it has its limitations, it is not close to as useless a class as you made it out to be.
What carriers are you referring to? Because as far as I know, the QE class won't carry any SAMs. The reason they choose to base the ship's ASW and ASUW capability on helis isn't because it's better than placing torpedos/missiles on a launcher on the ship, it's because the helicopter is already there and it's cheaper that way. The T45 has a lot of potential, it has everything it needs to incorporate capable TLAM, LRASM and even an SM-6/SM-3 combo for BMD. If they coupled that with the addition of torpedo launchers and reduced the noise it produces, it would be one of the best destroyers in the world. But as is, it's not very capable at anything really.
The QE class which you know I am referring to will, guess what, carry aircraft. The F35B can shoot down other aircraft at the range you described. There, long range air defence. Yes, basing ASW capability on Merlins is cheaper than torpedoes. It is even cheaper not to have any ASW capability, so helicopter based capability clearly isn't a waste of time, or they would not have it at all.
There an absolute waste of money
