Britain’s Type 45 may well be the most advanced destroyer afloat today. This £1bn warship is an anti-air specialist, capable of simultaneously tracking 1,000 objects no bigger than a cricket ball travelling up to three times the speed of sound, and then taking them down at ranges in excess of 95 miles. The way it does this is through a combination of powerful radar and state-of-the-art missiles. War on Tape got the chance to go aboard while she was in the Indo-Pacific to find out exactly how she does it.
