y'know the sad thing about these best of vids? in 4-5m seas in the North Atlantic on exercises, we are still kickin their asses with Iroquois Class ships and they are 40+ years old lol
you really have to do ur research dude. how can the spanish vessel be first. its kinda obvious that stealth frigates should be at the top since they have an serious advantage.
The Type 23 is a good frigate it doesn't look modern but it can do most of what any modern ship can. Saying that it is old after the New Type 45 Daring Class Destroyers are complete (HMS Daring, HMS Dauntless, HMS Dragon, HMS Diamond, HMS Defender and HMS Duncan) and the two Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers in around about 2020, I would imagine the next new set of ships will be replacement modern up to date frigates by which time the Type 23 will be 31+ years old (probably closer to 35+).
Oh come on... I'm British and even I wouldn't put the type 23 in the top 10. And as for the Spanish frigate in at #1 - You can hardly call it Spanish, it features the Aegis tracking system which is US made, so basically all they have done is stick a bit of everyone else's stuff together and put a Spanish flag on it. The type 26 on the other hand, now that really will be special. I don't pretend to know every ship that every country has in the pipeline but the type 26 destroyer will be special.
@MrCutsteel I know about Liberal Reforms- I got an A* at GCSE History! :) It is sad if a person is made redundant but then does this mean that they should go on benefits. These Work Houses would not be as bad as they used to be.
@MrCutsteel:.....that's the way the system used to work. Around a hundred years ago, when national insurance was first introduced, it was known as 'unemployment insurance' - people in work literally were paying a state-backed insurance policy. If they were made redundant their insurance kicked in and paid out - but only for a limited time. I think we need to go back to something like that.
