About the Type 45 Destroyer:

The Type 45 Destroyer, also known as the Daring class, represents the pinnacle of Royal Navy surface combatant design. Entering service from 2009 onwards, these six destroyers (HMS Daring, Dauntless, Diamond, Dragon, Defender, and Duncan) are among the most capable air defense warships in the world. The Type 45's primary role is to provide area air defense for the fleet, protecting aircraft carriers, amphibious groups, and other vessels from air and missile attack. At the heart of the ship's capability is the Sea Viper (PAAMS) missile system with its SAMPSON multi-function radar, which can track hundreds of targets simultaneously and engage multiple threats at ranges exceeding 70 miles. The distinctive pyramid-shaped SAMPSON radar dome rotating atop the integrated mast has become an iconic feature of these modern warships. With a displacement of 8,000 tons and a length of 500 feet, the Type 45 combines stealth technology, advanced sensors, and powerful weapons systems to provide unmatched air defense capability for the Royal Navy well into the 21st century.
