	Broadsword Class Type 22 Frigates
		Despite these similarities the Type 22 heralded many firsts for the Royal Navy: they were the first warships completed to a metric specification, the first to not to carry a gun and have missiles alone as the principle armament.
		When the batch 1 had been on the drawing board planners had toyed with the idea of designing them to be capable of supporting the Sea King and Wessex helicopters, but this idea was rejected and instead they carried two small Lynx.
		The high performance of Broadsword and Brilliant in the 1982 Falklands Conflict coupled with the loss of two destroyers and two frigates, led to the announcement that the government intended to order five more Type 22s, some of which would follow a modified design and form a third batch.

	Type 42 destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Type 42 Destroyer was built to fill the gap left by the cancellation of the large Type 82 destroyer.
		The Type 42 is also equipped with a 4.5 inch (114 mm) gun, six torpedo launchers, and two Vulcan Phalanx Mk 15 Close-In Weapons Systems (CIWS) were fitted after the loss of the Sheffield to an Exocet missile.

	All Wood Wings: Leander Class Frigates - quality ship models crafted from wood
		The Leander class (informally known as the Type 12M) comprised 26 frigates and was arguably the most successful class of frigates in the Royal Navy's modern history.
		Batch One comprising eight ships, commissioning between 1963 and 1966, were general purpose alternatives to the far more expensive single-role frigates such as the Rothesay and Whitby classes.
		Batch Two, comprising six ships (1966 to 1967), were designed for the ASW role and were only slightly revised to the batch ones, in that they had a different engine design, known as the Y136.

	Type 22 Broadsword frigate
		The Type 22 frigates are among the most successful warships built for the Royal Navy since 1945, but their continued evolution 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.
		Broadsword Type 22 Batch 1 Class Frigates were planned as replacements for the Leander Class.
		Two of the Batch 1 frigates (HMS BROADSWORD and HMS BRILLIANT) served with distinction in the Falkland's war and HMS BRILLIANT was the subject of a BBC documentary shortly before she was decommissioned.
