1] BAE Systems is a major player in the development of the Aegis Weapons System.
2] The Type 45 destroyer will have less of a multi-role capability than the USA's Aegis based Arleigh Burke Class destroyers and Australia's SEA 4000 Air Warfare Destroyer.
3] BAE Systems is an excellent company with a very large USA and International presence.
4] BAE Systems recently acquired United Defense Industries, including UDI's huge ship servicing, ship maintenance businesses.

No it doesn't. It looks like a civil war ironclad that's been absorbed by the Borg.
As a Navy vet, I hate the fact that it's basically a submarine that doesn't dive. Not many windows, and most everyone works in the depths of the shitp. What kind of sailing is that if you never see the Ocean?
