#Not exactly a news, but (for me) first see this photo. Impressive, it is.

Inspired from NavyLookOut, I found this link of the "Mk.41 gym" of Type-45 destroyers.
I understand it is located between 114 mm gun and Sylver VLS. Good growth margin, can be used for many options (not only Mk.41 VLS). ImageImage

I love it; the first time ever, with a whole page filled in by my "favourites" and no need to bother reading 'one word'.

HMS Duncan returns home



(PortsHistDockyard) 28 September 2019 (no sound)
PortsHistDockyard wrote:HMS Duncan is returning to Portsmouth Naval Base as her crew set foot on dry land for the first time in six months.

The destroyer has been on a maritime security deployment, forming part of a taskforce in the Gulf. After being relieved by HMS Defender, the 190-strong crew went over to Gibraltar, protecting the busy waters of the Mediterranean.
