So not only are the warships lacking anti-ship missiles and anti-sub torpedoes, but they are dead in the water.
Sic Gloria... The British Empire is dead

It seems they had a bit of a rethink and added Harpoon anti ship missiles to 4 of the 6 type 45's. There seems to have been recycled from 4 type 22 frigates so as the type 22's each had 2 x 4 Harpoon lanchers the type 45's should have the same.

You would think they would spring a few quid to arm the other two type 45's with Harpoon as well. Off the shelf quad Harpoon launchers must be chicken feed compared to the total cost of these ships.
