BAE does good work. I'm sure there is some exaggeration in this article, but congratulations to the Royal Navy for acquiring a fine ship. If it's as good as claimed, we may ask you to lend a few now and then to escort high value targets, i.e. nuclear powered carriers.

Actually, from what I read a couple of years ago, these are designed for exactly that, and are an offshoot from the Brit experience in the Falklands....

They are sacrificing Multi-role and ASW capabilities for a strictly Anti-Air/Missle platform....
