	Type 45 destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Type 45 is also planned to be given cruise missile launchers if the need arises in the future.
		The Type 45 destroyers will be 152.4m in length, with a beam of 21.2m and a draught of 5.0m (making them significantly larger than the Type 42 destroyers).
		The Type 23 frigates were the first UK ships to incorporate signature reduction technology, with the large 7° angle of the bow, the elimination of right angles and reduced equipment on deck.

	Destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Destroyers (with a DD hull classification symbol) primarily perform anti-submarine warfare duty while guided missile destroyers (DDGs) are multi-mission (anti-submarine, anti-aircraft, and anti-surface warfare) surface combatants.
		The destroyers (as well as frigates) are, as always, the workhorses of the fleet, the former optimised for air defence and the latter for surface and subsurface warfare.
		British destroyers (of recent times) have an average displacement of around 5,000 tonnes, and are armed with a mixture of guns and missiles including 114 mm (4.5 inch) Mk 8 guns, Sea Dart Missiles, 20 mm Close range guns, Vulcan Phalanx close in weapons system (CIWS), anti submarine torpedo tubes.

	British Type 45 destroyer
		The Type 45 design utilises the PAAMS anti-air system, a joint British, French and Italian design, which comprises the SAMPSON fire control and tracking radar, MBDA Aster 15 and 30 missile systems and the 48-cell SYLVER vertical missile launcher, giving the Type 45 a short-range and long-range anti-air capability.
		The Type 45 destroyers will replace the Type 42 Destroyers currently in service with the Royal Navy.

		The Type 45 class will be the largest and most powerful air defence destroyers ever operated by the Royal Navy and the largest general purpose surface warships (excluding aircraft carriers and amphibious ships) to join the fleet since World War Two cruisers.
		When the Type 45 enters service later this decade it will provide the fleet with an air defence capability that is several orders of magnitude greater than that provided by the existing force of Type 42 destroyers.
		The Type 45 is large and spacious enough to accommodate lengthened vertical launchers that could carry cruise missiles, should the requirement for a land attack capability arise.

		The destroyer, originally called the torpedo-boat destroyer, was introduced in 1892 as an answer to the torpedo boat, but it rapidly replaced that type by taking over its functions.
		Later, its role as a torpedo launcher declined, and today destroyers have a mainly defensive role; they are used for convoying merchant ships and as escort vessels in a battle fleet.
		Destroyers were of great importance in World War II; equipped with new electronic devices, they proved highly effective as antisubmarine weapons and, hence, as escorts for convoys.

		However the revelation that the Type 45 would be known as the ‘D’ Class and the first units Daring and Dauntless came slightly as a surprise as in the run up to the announcement many speculated they would emulate the Type 42 and take the names of British cities.

		The main disadvantage of using the Type 45 design as the basis for MSVD is that it uses c.2000 technology, and the last MSVD won't enter service until about 2020 and presumably will serve until at least 2050.

		The biggest destroyer prototype of all belongs to the US Navy, which is developing the DD(X) class that will eventually replace the Arleigh Burke class of destroyers.
		In another test, the destroyer was estimated to have a 95 percent chance of defeating a six-missile attack by using countermeasures.

		With its improved accommodation and ability to perform a variety of roles, the Type 45 is designed to meet the needs of a modern Navy in a changing world, and adapt to new needs throughout the life of the class.

		The Type 42 destroyers were at a very early stage of development, as was their sister ships the Type 22 frigates (to replace the Leander class (Type 12M)), and so a large gap was threatening to open up in the Royal Navy's modern fleet escort surface vessels.
		The Type 22 frigates are among the most successful warships built for the Royal Navy since 1945, but there continued evolution has led to a ship that is probably closer to a cruiser or destroyer (in terms of capability and cost) than a simple frigate, particularly in their weapons fit.
		The Type 23 was originally envisaged to act as a platform for a towed sonar array, carry light missile system against air attack and have facilities to land and refuel helicopters, although it would not carry a hangar.

		Brigadier Keith Prentice, leader of the DPA's Type 45 Integrated Project Team, said that the decision to select Marconi (now BAE SYSTEMS) as prime contractor was taken on the basis of its previous deep involvement with Horizon IJVC, the prime contractor designate for the abortive Horizon effort.
		Although the operational requirements for Type 45 does not currently include the installation of land attack cruise missiles or anti-ballistic missile missiles, Brig Prentice said the design would have "sufficient margins available" to accommodate alternative weapons and their associated launcher systems.
		Current plans are for the Type 45 to be equipped with a 48-cell SYLVER VLS (procured as part of the PAAMS contract).

		As part of the conversion, a 25-metre tall replica Type 45 foremast, complete with a Sampson multi-function radar (mounted 35m above the waterline) is being added to the barge, together with a missile silo including Sylver vertical launch cells, and all the associated equipment.

		The currently planned complement of the type 45 is approximately 190 personnel, of whom around 20 will be officers and 170 other ranks.
		Assuming a class of 12 type 45s, we expect that nine or 10 ships would, on average, be available at any one time to the Commander-in-Chief Fleet for tasking, while two or three would be undergoing maintenance, including one or two in refit.
		The type 45 destroyer will be a versatile platform, able to operate a variety of other helicopters; the ship's large flight deck can take helicopters up to and including Chinook size.
