Saturday January 24 2009. Type 45 Destroyer HMS Daring shows off in front of TV cameras (in the Douglas pilot boat Girl Mary) and executes a sharp turn.
Apologies for the bounce on this one, it was on full zoom, and I think I was shivering in the cold!
@bannon1000 at what cost bannon,you just watch this lot rape the navy of all her other assets,including aircraft to fly off the carriers......

@WinchesterRanger yes,the missile issue was MBDA's cock up,and Daring now rightly takes her place among the best air defence destroyers in the world.
Shame the carriers she was designed to protect will get the chop in october i fear!

The worlds most poorly armed destroyer. I've seen better armed speedboats, and don't mention the cost, $2.2Bn for that thing, they're having a laugh.
Do the missiles work yet?
