Torpedo tubes

I've removed the line about torpedo tubes - if anyone can find a reference for it, then put it in, but it's utter bunkum. Shem (talk) 21:10, 5 June 2010 (UTC)Reply


What about the 2 x Phalanx CIWS, should this not be in the nice to have if we have the money column (fitted for but not with) Jim Sweeney (talk) 16:32, 1 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Daring has already got them, the others will get them when they do their planned maintenance. The kit exists (it comes off T42s) and the fittings are already there. I think the template works best as it is. Shem (talk) 16:47, 1 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
It is clear that some Type 45's have been seen with the deck-mounted sting ray anti-submarine torpedo tube launchers. Although the only source I can find for this is on YouTube videos. There are pictures and videos all over the place showing Type 45's with 4x torpedo tubes. This video on HMS Daring' at 6:22 confirms that: [1].QuintusPetillius (talk) 15:08, 29 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Reference

Is there a reliable source for this weapons fit? Jim Sweeney (talk) 22:35, 7 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Browning .50 Cal

edit

The current Channel 5 documentary about HMS Duncan shows her fitted with at least one Browning .50 caliber machine gun. I suspect there are two, one on each side, but it would be good if we could get a source for this. They may have reduced the number of GPMG's from 6 to 4 to accommodate them.

Phalanx 20mm

edit

The Phalanx listed in this template does not show what calibre it is. Maybe this should be included too.QuintusPetillius (talk) 19:58, 3 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
