1) The gun pointed to the same direction where the missile was shot. Why was that?

2) I´ve always wondered who pick up the ship`s names in the RN!

[an2003dy]

If you look, you'll see a small aerial on top of the gun, this is basically for data collection.

I don't know mate, but the majority of RN Ships are named after towns. Thus Exeter! It's in the south west of England,

Is this the same Exeter that was in the Falklands?

[an2003dy]

Yes matey, sure is!!

HMS EXETER is a falklands veteran she shot down 8 argentinen planes in the falklands conflict.

lmao did any one else hear the noise that bloke made when the missile came up?

[EdGeyy]

That reloading system never gets boring.

@ArgRosario1 How funny. Hows the Belgrano....oh...really? Bummer. And just to so you know, these were also fitted to Argentine destroyers, bought from the British.

[teryfuckwitful]

@ArgRosario1 the same exocets that didnt explode on impact the ones that were made by the french dumb ass?

[jimdreferee]

@ArgRosario1 Whats gray and hides ? The argentine navy

[RobertM408]

HMS Exeter is a great name with civil war sig. But why were not some of the D class destroyers not named HMS Decoy, HMS Delight, HMS Dutchess like their l950s predecessors. It all seems to be bulldog and macho in the fleet today. I'm surprised they didn't call one HMS Dogstar after all they had an HMS Bloodhound.

[YaMumYaNanYaGran]

I have a good joke for you....

Whats British and looks like the Falkland Islands?

The Falkland Islands.

RN FTW

[ArgRosario1]

Wow!! How is it against Exocets??

Not too good huh? Bummer... ;-)

[jonboy1973]

@Rschaltegger Hm ships Sheffield and Coventry,and the Atlantic conveyor,were sunk by aircraft of the Argentine navy.

[jonboy1973]

@phillipclarke29 not true,Sea Dart achieved the worlds first missile to missile kill in combat,during the gulf war,the loss of Coventry,on a day when her Sea Darts had accounted for many Arg aircraft,was down to the fact that Broadsword was unable to hold a lock with Seawolf. The Sea Dart had its weakness' ,as all systems do,but for a cold war system.designed to take out high altitude soviet bombers,it served well,and for a long time.
