The Type 45 Destroyers, also known as the Daring-class destroyers, are a class of advanced warships used by the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom. Designed primarily for air defense, they are equipped with the SAMPSON radar system, which provides long-range detection and tracking of aerial threats. These destroyers are also capable of engaging surface and subsurface targets. Each Type 45 Destroyer is powered by a combination of gas turbines and diesel engines, allowing for high speed and maneuverability. They are equipped with a range of weapons, including the Aster missile system for air defense and the 30mm gun for close-in protection. The ships are designed to operate in various roles, including humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
