That’s fair sized ship to have no anti-ship missiles of its own. The Sea Skua has a pretty small warhead compared to the Harpoons RN frigates carry.

That is how the Type 42 (Batch 2 and 3) DDs are outfitted. Go figure.

The thing is, the Type 42 DDs were designed more as air defense DDs.

I though the Brits neutered the Type 42’s by retiring the Sea Darts. Besides, without anti ship missiles, they have little value.

They still carry the Sea Dart. Aslo, the Lynx helos aboard the Type 42 can carry the Sea Skua AShM.

After the shell is fired, and as it travels through the atmosphere it absorbs the available water and expands from 4.5” to 14.5”...just like them Dollar General sponges.
