I have a sneaking suspicion that financing played a major part in the remaining with Appledore.
But if the product comes right well and good.
It would appear that as an Air Defence platform the type 45s will be top class once their propulsion problems are solved but ghey are severely limited to just that role with th their weapons fit in comparison to Arleigh Burke.
The Collins class should have been good for another 10 years even after the refit carried out in the pat few years but it would seem the RAN is going through huge transition across the board so the change will be saving in the long run.
Why are posters so hung on Damen and other off the shelf products and not looking to the likes if the Spanish to build custom designed vessels after all they have supplied some lovely OPVS and frigates and are building the Australian next generation vessels
