1 Type 45 destroyer at £650 million (HMS Dauntless launched 23rd January). 3 Danish Patrol Frigates £400 million. (Missiles extra)
Ironically the Danish ship was designed with the help of BAE Systems, pity that they couldn’t give the UK taxpayer such value for money . When all is said and done, 1 ship can only be in one place at any one time, the “less capable” Danish patrol ships can cover a much wider area and also have the advantage of interchangeable roles using STANFLEX.
Mod edit: Rodney. You need to become familiar with the rules of the forum. There are a few but basically, make a relevant point, justify it with some form of evidence and then DISCUSS it yourself, prior to instructing others to. The forum will be closed as there are a number of threads on the Type 45 Destroyers already. Perhaps ask your question in one of them. AD.
