I'd be very curious to know the capabilities of this ship vs. the long talked about American DD(X).

When (if) the DD(X) comes out it will be the baddest mofo floating anywhere on the 7 seas. Easy! However that is still in the future (and there are still some people who would rather have the money spent on rare lichen slugs). The thing that I personally find most interesting about this ship though is its PAAMSystem ....that is a true competitor to our AEGIS system. Actually it is the only REAL competitor to the AEGIS that I can think of (I know there are nations that have radars that are similar, for example the Chinese four-array multifunction PAR, but PAAMS is the only thing I can think of that can stand with the AEGIS and not be put to shame).

Anyways, glad the Brits have this.
