Well no 2 had a successful launch on Wedsday at Portsmouth docks, on time and within budget ,her name is HMS Dauntless .
Among the battery of state.of-the -art equipment is a new principal Anti- Air Missile System, which can trace and destroy hostile objects as small as a cricket ball travelling at three times the speed of sound.Its range is effective over a radius of several hundred miles.
Her PAAMS air defence missiles are the size of a public phone boxs, weigh two thirds as much as a small car and from launch accelerate to a speed twice that of Concorde in under 10 seconds.There is still more to come on this great British Warship the best in the world,and it was all done when the reds were in power, so it was not all bad for them.
