Күн бұрын

The Type 23 frigate or Duke class is a class of frigates built for the United Kingdom's Royal Navy. The ships are named after British Dukes, thus leading to the class being commonly known as the Duke class. The first Type 23, HMS Norfolk, was commissioned in 1989, and the sixteenth, HMS St Albans was commissioned in June 2002. They form the core of the Royal Navy's destroyer and frigate fleet and serve alongside the Type 45 destroyers. Originally designed for anti-submarine warfare in the North Atlantic, the Royal Navy's Type 23 frigates have proven their versatility in warfighting, peacekeeping and maritime security operations around the globe.Thirteen Type 23 frigates remain in service with the Royal Navy, with three vessels having been sold to the Chilean Navy.

None of the RN submariners I work with will say a word about these babies, but I spoke to some Yank sailors and they told me that if a Submarime wants to track a 23, then they have to look for a hole in the water as they are just that good. Even though they are known as Skoda class, they are mostly still going strong. They are the most gorgeous ships ever made as well. I went on one the other day and they are looking tired, but they have worked hard.

In the future the Type 23's will end up being considered the Royal Navy's best Escort Frigates due to their time in service (delayed well overdue replacements).Also the Sea Wolf VLS Tubes have not been replaced - the CAAM Missile is of a Smaller diameter so inserts were used to plug the original Tubes ( works out cheaper also ).

Due to the type 23s being designed for the North Atlantic they were designed with a very sturdy hull. Most have actually served in places like the Arabian gulf and Caribbean so have actually lasted longer than they were designed.

Hopefully as the UK ramps up the shipbuilding process, our yards will be revitalised and the property developers are evicted to allow for idled yards and drydocks to be brought back into service.

You have to include the wafu in the mix. The lynx helicopter is a great bit of kit, pitty the landing gear looks like a broken Tesco trolly. I know the odd angles of the wheels are for stability, but still looks weird….

I subscribed here to widen my perspective on modern naval forces, but my main interest is ships between the early steam era up to around the 1950s, so that's what I'm most familiar with. One thing I'm wondering about for some time is how these bulky superstructure designs solved the stability problem in rough seas, as most top-heavy WW1-WW2 era designs were infamous for rolling heavily in any kind of bad weather. Besides the weight, these modern superstructures are also rather wide and flat from the side, suggesting that wind pressure could become an issue as well. Can you enlighten me a bit on this matter?

@paultanton4307 4 жыл бұрын

Topweight has always been an issue for Warships,while the designs are very well thought through the Margins are very tight.Ships as built tend to be pretty stable but as time and Technology move on any Upgrades become a problem.A case in point on the Type 23's is the Type 997 Artisan Radar which replaced the original 996.It had to be designed and manufactured within strict weight limits to avoid any Topweight issues.The T23 Superstructure is also the first in RN sevice designed to reduce its Radar signature,whence its Slabsided look.

Cor du Roy The effiency of CIWS system hasen’t been combat proven. So whether their effect is better than an active jamming or decoy systems is not proven. Also its a ASW platform not a GMD. So if its caught alone against a volley cruisemissile attack it meant someone fucked up.

@@McCorduRoy1972 The T23's were never designed to have a CIWS,if push came to shove maybe a Phalanx could go on the Hangar Roof but that would cause problems.The Sea Wolf Directors have gone now on the post LIFEX Ships,replaced by the much more capable Sea Ceptor System.

@lukeallison3713 Жыл бұрын

Phalanx is too heavy to replace the ds30 mounts but millennium gun might just fit the bill in both roles the former fulfill and do better. Sea ceptor is a very small missile with capabilities that are exceptional for it's size but it is fundamentally a replacement for sea wolf which is really a missile ciws like ram (1-10km range), the upgrade being an ability beyond the range that also marks it as different from ram and sea wolf and more similar to essm. Their is also space where the sea wolf directors were but this still would be fairly problematic, though similar to where the type 22 goalkeeper mount was

You maybe able to buy the ship but the weapons onboard won't be sold to foreign Navies and they are unlikely to improve on the current standard.
