#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).

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.
