Appears to be using XM913, 50mmx228mm
I noticed that Heemskerck-class frigates have two 2D radars: LW-08 and DA-05/08. So this type of frigates don't need a dedicated height-finding radar or a 3D radar? How do they get the altitude of engaging targets?
The GW96A class Missile Cruiser was cancelled by the Royal Navy in 1957, but, I do not seem able to find any ‘definitive’ statement about who/why the decision was made. I appreciate that in reality they were harking back to a previous era as modern Frigates had an adequate cruising range and...

1983, rather than 1982 is a key date for decisions for the RN and UK defence as a whole, in the light of the Falklands and it's effect not just on defence thinking but on the UK populace's attitude to their country. As surely as it was to the political establishment.
But in terms of changes a...

I am utterly confused about the original French plans for the deployment of this missile, the wiki page for the Suffren class destroyers states that six ships were originally planned and that this became two batches of three (the second tentative?) then just two ships when the money for the...

Until the Type 22 frigate the Royal Navy did not follow the USN
in building ships with surface to air missile systems at both ends
like the Leahy and Belknap classes.
There seem to have been plans to do so, including by converting
the County class destroyers to have Seaslug launchers at both...
In Friedman's book on British Destroyers and Frigates there is an interesting account of how the Royal Navy looked at the competing virtues of two ships which are described but never illustrated.
The first is a 10,000 ton escort cruiser armed with Seadart launchers front and aft and with a...
