	Type 45 destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Type 45 may also be fitted with cruise missiles if the need arises in the future, the French Navy is in the process of adapting the Storm Shadow cruise missile (already operated by the RAF) for firing from Sylver launchers — as fitted to the Type 45 class.
		The Type 45 destroyers are the first British warships built to meet the hull requirements of Lloyd's Register's Naval Rules.
		The Type 23 frigates were the first British warships to incorporate signature reduction technology, with the large 7° angle of the bow, the elimination of right angles and reduced equipment on deck.

	Daring class - Destroyer Class - technical details
		The Type 45 AAW Destroyer will represent a step change in the air defence capability of the Royal Navy in comparison with the class of ships that it replaces and, arguably, will be the benchmark capability for maritime air defence when it enters service.
		Type 45 is somewhat larger than the Type 42 destroyer that it replaces and, at 152m length overall and 7,350 tonnes deep displacement, is significantly larger than the Type 23 frigate that will operate alongside it.
		Overall, the Type 45 Destroyer offers a potent new capability for the Royal Navy, centred on air defence but providing a flexible package that is able to carry out a variety of tasks and will be able to accommodate new capabilities that are required through its service life.

		The Type 45 programme is securing more than 2,000 shipbuilding jobs on the Clyde, 650 shipbuilding jobs in Portsmouth and many more jobs at sub-contractors around the country.
		Destroyers (as well as frigates) are the workhorses of the fleet, the former optimised for air defence and the latter for surface and subsurface warfare.
		In naval terminology, a destroyer is a fast and maneuverable yet long-endurance warship intended to escort larger vessels in a fleet or battle group and defend them against smaller, short-range attackers (originally torpedo boats, later submarines and aircraft).

	Type 45 Air Defence Destroyer
		The Type 45 class will be the largest and most powerful air defence destroyers ever operated by the RN and the largest general purpose surface warships.
		The Type 45 Destroyer is forecast to enter service in November 2007, almost five years later than the date forecast for its predecessor, the tri-national Common New Generation Frigate.
		The Type 45 Destroyer's main gun armament meets some, but not all, of the Navy's requirements and is not seen as a long-term solution.

		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 answer 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 45 Destroyer
		That remains the primary function of the Type 45.
		There are indications that the RN may get what it can in the Type 45 as soon as it can, given the urgency of replacing the Type 42s, but focus on getting what it really wants in the FSC later, from about 2012 onwards.
		Despite these delays and shortfalls, however, the Type 45 clearly will be a much more capable air defence system than its predecessor the Type 42 and represents a new level of air defence capability for the Royal Navy.

		The main mission of the Type 45 anti-air warfare destroyer is to provide local area fleet defence, with long range radar and wide area defence capability.
		The Type 45 could also accommodate cruise missiles such as the Tomahawk and anti-ballistic missiles if a requirement was identified in future.

		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 Type 45's are urgently needed as replacements for the obsolete Type 42 destroyers, which will average 29 years old when replaced by the Type 45.
		The Type 45 will have a much smaller missile battery than existing AEGIS/Standard equipped American (Arleigh Burke), Japanese (Kongo) destroyers, and the planned South Korean (KDX-3) destroyers, but the potential to increase the number VLS cells from 48 to 64 on the Type 45 does improve the situation.
		The Type 45 is also sometimes compared with the new DD 21 Land Attack Destroyer being developed United States Navy which is due to enter service from 2010, only three years after the Type 45.

	Type 45 Daring class Destroyer (Early)
		At the end of the twentieth century the British Royal Navy urgently needed a replacement for their aging Type 42 Air Defense Destroyers, which were undersized, underpowered, under armed and more than at the end of their useful service life.
		Only armed with a Vickers 4.5 inch gun, a inefficient 48 cell Sylver type VLS, two manually aimed 30 mm cannons, four torpedo tubes and two Phalanx CIWS, the first ships were very under armed for their size.
		The Daring and the Diamond were destroyed during huge ley line storms, but the Dauntless survived, although a freak accident (so common during those days....) froze her and her crew solid, and encased her in a huge iceberg.

		With eight Type 45 destroyers in service, a minimum of five units would be available to the Fleet for deployment at various states of readiness.

		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).

		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.

		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.
