[QUOTE="zen, post: 535440, member: 717"] Slightly incoherent result of trawling my book. 1966 Authorised Frigate and Destroyer force 68 = 24 fully efficient ships. 1971 3.5 ships short due to cut in maximum away (from port) time. 1974 review cut 9 Frigates and Destroyers planned for 1975-84. Frigate and Destroyer force set at 65 DEFE 24/687 Long Term Structure of the Fleet report May 1975. 2.5 ships built per year life 28 years 2 modernisations Limits surface Fleet to 70. New ship design every 3 years New submarine design every 7 60 availability for surface ships at 15 days notice 17 TAS shops = 10 available 1975 Conclusions 37 Sea Dart systems needed 29 planned A twin set ship (Type 43) 1975 existing plan for 1990. 26 missile armed destroyers 15 Type 42 + 10 modified + Type 82 39 Frigates of 8 Type 21, 7 Type 22 and 24 Leanders. 1978 plan Armed Fort Victoria class allows cut of 23 Frigates. 5 TAS Type 22 and 5 Type 42 per CV 11 Planned Type 42s would be switched to Type 22s for little change in cost. 19 total Type 42s remaining in the plan with 3 Type 43s entering service 1989 and 5 in service 1990. CAAIS was a failure. Type 43 could allow a reduction in AAW ship numbers but ironically the potential in a modernised Sea Dart GWS.31 would allow a smaller ship. Especially if using VLS, but possible even with twin arm launcher. Out of which emerges Type 44 using the Type 22 hull, and propulsion setup. Alternative to Sea Dart mkII is a new SAM. SAM.72 resolved by XPX.430. [/QUOTE]
