Capt Warrender says it shows that the Royal Navy is getting the best value for money for the taxpayer. Today's navy has a surface fleet of just 19 frigates and destroyers.

Whoever Photoshopped the graphic forgot the actual long range radar, the BAE Systems Insyte / Thales S1850M radar operating at D band, an upgrade of the venerable Thales Nederland SMART-L.

Unless HMS Dauntless is paired with a Type 23 Frigate, it is a sitting duck with no real anti-submarine or anti-surface capabilities.
