    The RAN now has a couple of ships like that. The two Spanish built vessels known in the Department of Finance as the White Elephant class. They have taken the place of Stalwart to be permanently moored on Bottle Bank at Garden Island.
    I was on Adelaide a few weeks ago. I did think BIG Target but re the other issues you mentioned I saw and heard nothing. Amazing capability and 1000% better than the rubbish the yanks sold us in the mid naughtess

    I agree. I certainly didn't post that. Fake news?

    I think you may be correct. It is the timing used nowadays for the saluting guns.

    It is true that the type 45's have deployed, but only if they don't have to use their defensive systems. They draw too much power, you see, and the system shuts down. HOWEVER, they may have a solution.

    And while we are talking destroyers, the RAN Hobart clas demonstrated at Rimpac how it can link up to other ships fitted with link 16, and pass on targeting information to them to allow the other ship to destroy the target, miles away. Without losing power. The only other ship in the World to do that, besides the Arleigh Bourke class.
