	Navy News - Ships of the Royal Navy - Type 23 Background (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Type 23 frigate is a true child of the Falklands War, as it represented the first occasion in which the painful lessons of the South Atlantic could be applied to a new class of ship.
		Type 23 frigates were the first ships designed for the Royal Navy as stealth vessels, and as such, 'signature reduction' - the elimination of as much noise, heat and reflection as possible - was an important factor in the shape of the hull and installation of machinery.
		Type 23 frigates now operate worldwide as singletons - on their own, maybe with just a small Fleet tanker for support - but can just as easily be called in to act as a close escort for a task group.

		In July 2004, the UK Ministry of Defence announced that the Type 23 fleet was to be reduced to 13.
		The Type 23 carries the Lynx ASW helicopter which is due to be replaced by the EH-101 Merlin HAS.1 helicopter which entered service in December 1998.
		Type 23 frigates are being fitted with the BAE Systems Outfit DLH upgrade which will allow the launch of the Siren Mk 251 active decoy round as well as the Sea Gnat.

	Type 23 frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Type 23 frigate is a class of warship serving with the Royal Navy, also known as the Duke class.
		The Type 23 was initially conceived as anti-submarine warfare platform, with a Lynx or EH-101 Merlin helicopter and a towed-array sonar, intended to replace the frigates of the Leander class.
		HMS Westminster was used for the Type 23 interior shots in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies in three different roles as HMS Chester, HMS Devonshire and HMS Bedford.

	Type 23 frigate
		The Type 23 frigate is a warship class of the Royal Navy also known as the Duke Class.
		The frigate was initally designed as a light anti-submarine warfare platform, with a Lynx or EH-101 Merlin active dipping sonar helicopter, to replace the frigates of the Leander class.
		The frigate's role was further expanded to cover all forms of naval operations with the addition of Harpoon and Sea Wolf missile systems.

		One of the principal differences between the Type 23 and its predecessor the Type 22 (with the exception of the Type 22 (batch 3) ships) is the re-introduction of the gun.
		HMS NORFOLK was the first Type 23 to enter service in the Royal Navy, she was commissioned on 1st June 1990.
		The combination of the Lynx/Merlin with a Type 23 ensures that the Type 23s are one of the most capable units in the world.

		The Type 23 frigate St Albans, which has yet to enter full operational service, was lying at her berth at Portsmouth naval base when she was struck by the much larger P and O ferry, Pride of Portsmouth, in darkness early yesterday.
		The 4,000-ton frigate sustained serious damage to her starboard side, including the bridge, boat deck and gunnery direction deck, in the collision, which happened as the ferry was negotiating the narrow waterway leading to the Portsmouth ferry terminal at the end of her voyage from Le Havre.
		There were no injuries to the 37 men aboard the frigate, and no injuries among the 850 passengers and 130 crew of the ferry, which suffered superficial damage to her hull.

		The type 23 frigate is the mainstay of the modern surface fleet, it is powerful and versatile with the capability to operate anywhere in the world.
		The sixteen Type 23 frigates form 50% of the total frigate/destroyer force in the Royal Navy.
		They were originally designed for the principal task of anti-submarine warfare, but like the type 22 they to have evolved into powerful and versatile multi purpose ships with the capability to operate anywhere in the world.

	Navy Matters \| Type 45 Section
		The BAE Type 45 PCO submitted revised pricing for the completion of the Batch 2 units (T45-04 to 06) in June 2005, and also as option provided pricing for the hoped for final two units (T45-07 and 08).
		Since late 2005 the MOD has referred to "up to eight" Type 45 destroyers, and there seems to be a decreasing chance that 07 and 08 will be ordered, indeed there have been suggestions that only two of the Batch 2's may be completed due to lack of funding.
		A national programme to replace the Type 42 Destroyers was the originally preferred procurement route and UK-only Type 43 and 44 programmes were considered.

	Type 21 frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Type 21 frigate or Amazon class frigate was a Royal Navy general-purpose escort designed in the late 1960s, built in the 1970s and that served throughout the 1980s into the 1990s.
		They were also the first design to enter service which used solely gas-turbine propulsion (the Type 42 was designed to use this system first), as opposed to the steam turbines or diesel engines of their predecessors.
		HMS Antelope was hit by bombs on May 23, one of which was set off by the bomb disposal team attempting to defuse it on May 24, causing the ship to break her back and sink.

	Type 23 (Duke Class) Frigate (UK)
		The Type 22 frigates are among the most successful warships built for the Royal Navy since 1945, but their 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 ship now began to approach the Type 22 for cost and complexity and these were not yet the last changes that would be made.
		Despite the various technical and political problems that have surrounded the Type 23 frigate, the final ship is a well balanced design but also an excellent anti-submarine platform.

		The Type 23s are general-purpose frigates, and were originally built as a replacement for the Leander class frigates.
		The Type 23 frigates will form the backbone of the Royal Navy, well into the twenty first Century, with thirteen ships already in service, with a further three building.

		The film centers around the adventures of a Royal Navy Type 23 frigate on patrol in nondescript tropical waters, and covers its entanglement with a banana republic warlord and his pirates.
		As part of what is effectively a navy-funded and centered theme park, the producers presumably had a bit of a balancing act in making this film; attempting to make a good film, a realistic portrayal of Britain's modern Royal Navy and a suitable recruitment tool at the same time.
		It restores a bit of faith in the image of the Royal Navy and the footage of the frigate storming through the sea to sort out the bad guys and the Marines shooting the hell out of the pirates - all to the thumping soundtrack - are pretty sexy.

	Type 23 frigate
		Originally conceived as dedicated light anti-submarine frigates, essentially armed tugs for a towed array sonar, the Type 23 frigates evolved into a much more capable general purpose frigate with self-defence anti-aircraft capabilities, anti-shipping Harpoon missiles, a 4" gun for providing naval gunfire support, and a helicopter deck for Merlin anti-submarine helicopters.
		The Type 996 radar is at the mast head, with navigation radar and satellite antenna (domes) further down.
		The after mast is located at the forward end of the hangar, with the after Type 911 radar just behind it atop the hangar.

		Two other superannuated frigates, the U.S.-built PF103-type Tapi and Khirirat, both of which date from the early 1970s, are youngsters by RTN standards, so they will not be retired.
		There are now only two Type 22 Batch 2 frigates available, HMS Sheffield (in service) and HMS Coventry (decommissioned at the end of last year).
		One alternative might be a pair of the oldest Type 23 Duke-class frigates--but, like the Batch 3 Type 22s, their sale would reduce the RN's frigate strength to only 14 ships.

	Modern Edition - Type 23 Frigate
		The Type 23 Frigates are powered by Combined Diesel, Electric and Gas Turbine Engines (CODLAG) with the gas turbines being used for cruising while the electric motors allow for virtually silent running when performing anti-submarine duties.
		The ships are designed to be "stealthy" with the hull having rounded edges and all vertical surfaces having a slope of 7º to reduce the radar signature of the vessel while the funnels are fitted with cooling devices to reduce the heat signature.
		The model is marked on the underside with the famous Tri-ang Minic logo, the model number, "Royal Navy Modern Edition", and the description "Type 23 Frigate".
