Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
Great picture of a type of ship I have had the pleasure of being on many times, and one I hope to have the pleasure of being on many times in the future... https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xlt1/v/t1.0-9/12728942_1032261626820552_5058696660167782036_n.jpg?oh=46eaf2c437dab6c26ad42f3670e628...

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
Shock testing, including Whole Ship Shock Trials, are standard for FOC and major equipment installations, although the nature of such is not publicly available for obvious reasons... E.G on the Type 23s, for the PGMU upgrade, a WSST is advised...: " It is expected that the Authority will undert...

Re: Type 23 Frigate (Duke Class) (RN)
Does anybody know if HMS Argyll was ever fitted with the PRISM and other Merlin Flight modifications...? Over time, all other Type 23s have received them, but last i knew, Argyll was, for some reason, left out. Indeed, i don't remember ever seeing / hearing of Merlin ops on Argyll. Not sure if an a...

Re: Type 23 Frigate (Duke Class) (RN)
From the MOD site any one clarify what this means? HMS Monmouth entered refit at the beginning of 2014 and has seen a significant amount of structural work to her superstructure, which has included approximately 17 tonnes of new steel covering an area of 220 square metres and over 1.1km. Shame that...

Re: Type 23 Frigates (Duke Class) (RN)
I am rather confused by the above. We have been told in regards to sea ceptor how easy it will be to fit dut to it being cold launched. How it can be used on small vessels as basically a bolt on system, and on any others with comparitive ease. Now we are told that half of the T23 silo's will be shu...

Re: Type 23 Frigates (Duke Class) (RN)
Don't know which Type 23 will be the first to get CAMM / Sea Ceptor at this point. Regarding 997, i've tried to keep track. My list goes: HMS Iron Duke - fitted HMS Argyll - fitted HMS Sutherland – returned to sea March 2015 for post-refit trials HMS Monmouth - expected at sea later this year, back...
