Excuss my ignorance on things nautical but I had to look up the difference between a destroyer, frigate and corvette. Destroyers are heavier (5 to 10k tonnes)but.....

The term "frigate" was readopted during the Second World War by the British Royal Navy to describe an anti-submarine escort vessel that was larger than a corvette, while smaller than a destroyer. Equal in size and capability to the American destroyer escort, frigates are usually less expensive to build and maintain.

You live and learn, or you give up!

I would make it a higher priority personally - all current Type 26 customers were looking for a ship optimised for ASW, if they had required GP or AAW emphasis the orders would have gone elsewhere. For future business the design will need to evolve in order to cover these missions more effectively.

If is does become the Type 45 replacement could someone advise the MoD that "destroyers" should embody a realistic capability to "destroy" enemy surface ships?

Futurists predict top careers by 2040


Emerging technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics will influence the careers we do in the future.
On A-Level results day, we have found that almost half of young people (47%) aged between 16-24 believe that one day they will work in a role that doesn’t exist yet, but only one in five (18%) think they are equipped with the skills required to future-proof their careers. Three quarters (74%) also feel that they are not getting enough information about careers that will be available in the future.

DARPA selects BAE Systems to develop machine learning capabilities for space situational awareness

BAE Systems has been awarded a Phase 2 contract to develop machine learning capabilities aimed to help the military gain better awareness of space scenarios for the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The goal of DARPA’s Hallmark Tools, Capabilities, and Evaluation Methodology (Hallmark-TCEM) program is to not only develop and evaluate tools and capabilities that increase an operator's understanding of space events, but also enhance the ability to select effective courses of action for any given situation.

Can Britain Build A Hypersonic F-35 Stealth Fighter?

News last month that Britain is boosting its hypersonic weapons program didn’t come as a surprise. Many other nations are doing it.

What caught everyone’s attention was that there are plans to rework the jet engines on the 1990s Eurofighter Typhoon—which propel the aircraft to Mach 2—into hypersonic engines that could achieve Mach 5 or faster.
