Nice!
Part of the screen for the carrier without planes?
Soon to be moth-balled with other ships and planes the British say they can no longer afford??
>>She ‘throttled up’ to reach 32 knots (37 mph) – although it doesn’t make Dragon the fastest destroyer as veteran HMS York can manage nearly 35kts After reaching full whack, the Type 45 then applied the ‘handbrake’ and came to a stop in a little over 800 yards – less than half a mile.<<
Big deal! In 1961, USS Princeton came out of FRAM II some 10,000 tons lighter than she went in (2-twin 5”, 2 single 5” port & starboard gun tubs, arresting gear all removed). Part of the qualifications required a 31 degree turn (34 and she rolls over)a 33 knot speed run and a crash stop in less than a mile. Mission accomplished!
