- First view of the British Type 23 frigate HMS Somerset equipped with the new Naval Strike Missile anti-ship cruise missile armament. The Somerset is the first of a total of 11 Royal Navy warships to receive this more modern weapon as a replacement for the aging Harpoon anti-ship cruise missile. The stealthy cruise missiles give Royal Navy frigates and destroyers a modern anti-ship capability and a new ability to strike land targets.

The Royal Navy needs more ships
Alot more😤
It’s taken far too long to replace the Harpoon, but this is welcome
It has been too long to get a replacement. However Harpoon is still effective, depending on the target. Most ships haven’t a defensive system to defeat it.
Yes, absolutely.
@@Idahoguy10157 I refuse to believe most warships in service today couldn't beat a missile that hasn't changed in 20-30 years.
@@regarded9702 … depends on the ship. With warships it depends on equipment, maintenance ,and competence of the crew to use equipment. Look at what happened to Moska.
When harpoon was was introduced I was 21 now am 65 thats how long its in service .😊😊
got to see this frigate when it was in port in håkonsvern and got the missiles mounted.
We need to pick up the pace rearming.
2:17 Fridtjof Nansen-class frigate F310.
It's about time.
Noted British Royal Navy acquired 11 Naval Strike Missile (NSM) systems for its existing Type 45 Destroyers and Type 23 Frigates (total 11 warships). What about the new Type 26 Frigates and new Type 31 Frigates currently under construction? Will they be equipped with NSM (Naval Strike Missile) systems as well?
There was news that the NSM's on the type 23 frigates would be transferred to the type 31 frigates when the later replace the former however the type 31s will now have MK41 VLS so Im not 100% sure. I would guess the type 31s will get the NSM while the type 26s get the FC/ASM "spear 5" but I could be completely wrong.
@@tigerland4328 Both Type 26 frigates and Type 31 frigates are to replace the Type 23 frigates. The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) systems installed on the Type 23 frigates can be transferred to either Type 26 frigates or Type 31 frigates when they are retired from service. However, there aren't enough Naval Strike Missile (NSM) systems available for one to one transfer to either Type 26 frigates or Type 31 frigates. Only 11 such systems were acquired and 6 systems are installed on Type 45 destroyers (6 warships) and 5 systems on Type 23 frigates (5 warships). That will mean 8 warships (most likely Type 26 frigates) will not have any anti-ship warfare capability at all. The new FC/ASM currently under development will not be ready until early 2030s. If no new acquisitions of Naval Strike Missile (NSM) systems are ordered to cover this gap that will mean 8 warships will not have any anti-ship warfare capability at all for a very long period of time. Mk 41 VLS more likely meant for surface to air missiles though it can also cater for the new Tomahawk maritime strike missiles which can have both land attack and ant-ship warfare capabilities. However, British Royal Navy currently has no plans to acquire the new Tomahawk maritime strike missiles.
@@kokcheongandykan3748 that's why I guessed the NSM systems would go to the type 31s as 5 type 31 frigates and the six type 45 destroyers would be 11.
It’s the Royal Navy, not British Royal Navy
@@donlaight5943 "the UK navy" has got to be the worst name foreigners call the Royal navy lol
Has she been re badged from a type 42 destroyer???
Looks very similar to the Coventry.
Step 3 of the plan to be the best navy in Europe
Will theses missiles migrate to the type 31s when the type 23's are decommissioned?
Type 26 surely?
@@EnglishScripter they are supposed to be getting the Future anti ship missile that is under development
Oh right, I read about that. Part of there future program.@@tigerland4328
I would image the numbers of missiles are sufficient for 11 ships with no provision for reloads back at base.
Shame the River Class are not being given this and other missile systems too.
wouldn't they be Too small .but i think the river class gun could do with a upgrade
I think it is shameful of poorly equipped our vessels are equipped. They should follow the russian or israeli concept of putting as many offensive weapons as they can.@@dannyblackwell2426
@@dannyblackwell2426 They were built to handle weapon systems if the need ever arised. Granted the number they could carry is limited compared to larger vessels but they use the same BAES CMS-1 combat management system common to most RN warships & if needed can handle the installation of new sensors and weapons. They also have full military communications fit, military GPS & the Warship Electronic Chart Display and Information System (WECDIS).
@@ZuulGatekeeperWhatever happened to fitting the martlet LMM on to the 30mm Small calibre gun system ?? Surely that would be an upgrade for the rivers and it would be quick to do
What’s the range of these missiles ?
In excess of 100 nautical miles apparently
Robot voice has read out another writers article, right down to an invitation to click a link here.
At least when my smart speaker does it, it gives sources.
I'm curious, does the UK have a plan to make their Navy viable again or are they going to keep building cheap ships with as few weapons as possible?
What? Carriers were £3.7 billion each. Hardly "cheap". And they're being worked up for F35, which is absolutely cutting edge. Type 45. 1 billion per ship. One of the best air warfare destroyers in the world.
This isn't Russia, which builds cheap ships and over arms them, only to have them sunk by a nation which has no navy.
A Type 26 costs £1.3 billion
@@ScienceChap But can only launch vtol aircraft and no sea to air missiles for self defence only two ciws big mistake !
@@allancale9441A type 45 is one of the most advanced anti air out there they cover the Carrier. And of course they can also be retrofitted with more weapons. TWO new Carriers 3/4 the size of a Nimitz with the latest developments in Carrier,s which I am sure the US will benefit from is nothing to sneer at. You know like first designed keel up Carrier (Hermes), Steam Turbines, Steam Cats, Angled flight Decks, Radar, Landing Light System, Armoured flight Decks. It’s great to share!
😊@@ScienceChap
Again, why replace? Add!
I dont know the range of these but it better be 400 km and hyposonic or the ship will be on the bottom if russia fires theres first.
Is that what happened with the pride of the Black Sea fleet the Moskva? What a great ship that was 🤣🤣🤣Floating piece of shit, sent to the bottom by a country with no navy to speak of 😂😂😂 cry into your vodka ruski.
Hypersonic missiles are a paper threat. Modern naval combat is all about electronics, EM spectrum emissions, observability, and detection. Even a giant US supercarrier and its accompanying destroyers are pretty much invisible outside 50km due to modern emissions doctrine. Fire that 400km missile and all you are doing is shooting a random area of sea, killing a few fish, and lighting up your own ship like a Christmas tree to the submarine in the area with will send YOU to the bottom in minutes.
Exocet is in the past, as so is harpoon.. This new system is already obsolete due to hypersonic leading the way.
The existence of hypersonic weapons doesn't make this system in any way obsolete
@@Orbital_Inclination as an anti ship missiles, yes it does, far too slow. Russian and Chinese ships are equipped with hypersonic assets. Sorry, but royal navy decades behind.
@@freedom14639 it's still a perfectly good anti-ship missile. Most of the 'hypersonic' missiles out there are just repurposed ballistic missiles, such as Kinzhal. Don't fall for all the marketing hype about them being undefeatable super weapons, because they're not.

At this point the Royal navy is just a coastal navy
Just follow the trail of smoke from the UK Naval ships to locate them.
The UK’s newest Aircraft carrier still has a habit of smoking 😂
Only eight rounds? A swarm attack will empty the launchers in less than a minute, then what?
A swarm attack of frigates ?
Huh? Do you know anything lol.
You cant swarm a ship with other other warships you tool!
Even a standard US Navy carrier battlegroup is only 5 major surface warships (carrier + 4 destroyers). Who is going to attack a Royal Navy frigate with a 'swarm' of warships?
NSM's ARE OFFENSVE WEAPONS, THEY CARRY 32 CAMM, OR 32 SEA WOLF!
all uk is got is american techology not uk is shit without usa but that stop with trump good excutive order
I've seen people with brain damage construct a sentence better than that.
You obviously no nothing about the UK defense sector and what the UK build and also supply to other countries.
As Jeremy Clarkson once said; "There are parts of America were people are now breeding with vegetables".
Russia's best hope is a Trump victory in 2024.
@giovannialdorino2986, all most countries have is either American or British technology!!. The US does buy British technology too, you douchebag!!. 😂🤣
Total utter waste of money.
The uk has pissed away its greatness and has fxxx all left to defend.
Spend the money on beer and BACON
You need to add to your manifesto about the state of our military. We need a huge investment in our military. The world is becoming a more dangerous place and we need to be able to defend ourselves home and abroad.
We need to start to build up our armed force now this includes manufacturing in this county’s of all type of military equipment from tanks, ships, aircraft, radar systems, ammunition etc etc.
This should also mean open up new coal mines for the making of high quality steel and open up new steelworks.
We have become to soft and woke this needs removing from our armed forces, we need to pay our armed forces a better wage if we want to attract more people to the forces.
The world now sees the British military as weak and this needs to change quickly, we should be on a war footing now to bring our military upto what it was in the 70/80s.
China, the Middle East laughing at us with our de-pleated forces, hell a third world country has more fire power than we now have that is a joke. We need to spend hundreds of billions now not next years or the year after now. Stop all over seas hand out and yes stop aid to Ukraine, so they are depleting our stock piles and taking our coppers that could be used on our military spending at home.
You want to create jobs start with the defence industry
Also stop immigration before we have a serious terror attack and start mass deportation now.
No lasers no rail gun no nuclear will make good reef
