To be fair, I think naval architecture and CAD and simulation has come along a lot since the Type 45 was designed in the 1990s. The QEC class carriers thus far haven’t had any major problems because the simulations used during the design process have been able to identify design flaws before they are actually built. The Type 26 is a cutting edge design and the others are older designs and most of them are more generalised than Anti submarine. If the US Navy wants to remain on the cutting edge of anti submarine warfare, it will need the Type 26. None of the others are as advanced.

I’m sorry but the QEC class runs on WINDOWS XP. How is this not a major problem?????

And after the SA80/L85 debacles, what idiot would believe MoD’s claims otherwise?

Remember when the British claimed the SA80 would be the cutting edge of infantry warfare and that no other rifle would be as advanced? How did that work out?
