The US and UK have historically enjoyed great success collaborating on weapons of war.
For instance: the Sherman Firefly, the Mustang, automated decrypt of Lorentz and Enigma, and of course Radar.
That ease of collaboration is now recognised as one of the starkest differences between Allies and Axis in WWII.
Collaborating on a frigate might be another good example. The Type 26 is a fine vessel, but I think a US conversion to ship more multi-role missile slots is the way to go.
Lorentz ??
Anything to do with this guy - Hendrik Lorentz?
Don’t understand!
I believe this ship is designed to be flexible. The RN version is designed with 72 missile cells, 24 of which will be full length designed to take Tomohawks. This could be expanded with more VLS for American tastes.
