Lord Mountbatten classified the cruiser-sized County-class as destroyers rather than cruisers, although they had destroyer-level fittings. AKE-1 "bedstead" radar is at the masthead, and the port Seacat quad launcher M.D. In San Carlos Water, Antrim was hit by a 1,000 lb (450 kg) bomb which failed to explode. [13] Many Royal Australian Navy officers felt Seaslug was unsuitable for the RAN.[17]. The Frigate ship type is a multi-role, general purpose ocean-going vessel utilized for fleet surface ship protection against enemy surface combatants or incoming aerial threats. The Type 965 The US Terrier missile had some support amongst the RN staff, but consideration was not given to acquiring it for the second batch of four ships,[citation needed] as the County class were "shop windows" for advanced UK technology, and it was vital for the British missile and aerospace industry to continue the Sea Slug project, to allow the development of the much improved Sea Dart missile. County Class Destroyers. TARTAR with a Wasp on deck. Two served in the British naval task force in the Falklands War in 1982. Final, late 1958 revisions to the design[18] were to adopt a high flush deck from B turret, increasing internal space, the cancellation of the nuclear-tipped Seaslug, and provision for folding fins for the Seaslug, all allowing storage of 20 extra missile bodies in tubular form for rapid assembly. Replica ships are listed separately in the article on ship replicas.Ships that are not museum ships, but are still actively used for excursions are included in the list of classic vessels The class was built in three batches between 1959 and 1973. All eight of the class had short Royal Navy careers, serving on average less than 16 years. The County-class and the Seaslug missile were interim solutions and the new Sea Dart anti-aircraft missile would have speed and accuracy to ensure a hit without requiring a nuclear warhead. (2005), NY, p. 249. [45] Inaccuracy, primitive beam-riding guidance and lack of infrared homing or a proximity fuze in the Mk 1 made it of limited value. Wabash I (Screw Frigate), 1856 USS Wabash II (Id. [16][page needed] Certainly, these arrangements as originally installed to operate a single Westland Wessex anti-submarine helicopter were problematic, with a hangar so cramped it took an hour to get the aircraft either in or out again, during which the port Seacat launcher was unusable. Had the missile hit a few inches higher, the above waterline magazine would have blown in an explosive fireball and many more of the crew[49] might have been lost. The ships were built at the major UK yards, with some of the machinery coming from Associated Electrical Industries of Manchester, Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company of Wallsend-on-Tyne, John I. Thornycroft & Company of Southampton, Yarrows of Glasgow, and the Wallsend Slipway and Engineering Company, Wallsend-on-Tyne. The Oslo class frigate is a Royal Norwegian Navy frigate design, based on the US Navy Dealey class destroyer escorts. Young (APD 131 ), 1945 + + 40 PLACES PEOPLE William S. White "Golden Thirteen" Ensign John P. Cromwell Captain Laid up 1979, Recommissioned 1982, The second four Countys had improved air warning and target indicator radar ("double bedstead" 965M and a revised 992 for closer range tracking rather than only surface warning). Thomas photo. Eight ships were built and entered service. The ship suffered fourteen deaths, injuries, and was lucky to survive with extensive damage and flooding. Glamorgan, after many days on the "gun line" bombarding Port Stanley airfield, was hit by an Exocet launched from land at the end of the conflict. Churchill & Australia(2008)p529-30. Paid off 1984. Statement on Defence 1957. Behind it are the Royal Navy's 4,200T Duke Class type 23 frigates F231 HMS Argyll and F82 HMS Somerset. The County class was designed around the GWS1 Seaslug beam riding anti-aircraft missile system. Indonesian MARTHA KRISTINA TIYAHAHU, Average annual running cost of County-class destroyers at average 1981–82 prices and including associated aircraft costs but excluding the costs of major refits. ⢠Brown, D. K.; Moore, G. (2003). [14], While the missile worked against Second World War-era level flying targets, the beam guidance system was dubious at range and in rough water which meant eight fixed stabilisers were added to the design of the County-class. Frank Cass. Partial conversion to training [20], While short on the support and logistic spares stocks of a traditional cruiser, they were still envisaged by the Director of Naval Construction as being 'probably' used in the cruiser role[21] with space for Flag staff offices, and admiral's barge accommodation[22] in the 1960s: the last decade when the UK oversaw significant colonial territory ("East of Suez"). The ship's two main guns were taken from paid off [47] The second batch of four ships (Antrim, Fife, Glamorgan and Norfolk) were refitted in the mid-1970s – their 'B' turrets were removed and replaced by four single MM38 Exocet surface-to-surface anti-ship-missile launcher boxes in order to increase the fleets anti-ship capability following retirement of its aircraft carriers. Innovation & Defense (2005), p. 198 by TNA:PRO. Coquille Builder: Ordered: Launched: Fate: Coquille was a 40 - gun frigate of the French Navy, lead ship of her class and launched in 1794. [43][44] The Mark 1 Seaslug was operationally reliable and proved useful as a missile target for the new Sea Dart missiles in the late 1970s and early 1980s; the supersonic Mark 2 version proved less effective for this. Three frigates moored in Grand Harbour, Malta. Sea Slug on a smaller hull. Thomas photo. It was suggested by Vosper Thornycroft that the Counties could have been developed for the anti-submarine role by replacing the Seaslug system with a larger hangar and flight deck and the possibility of removing Seaslug and rebuilding the missile tunnel as storage for extra Westland Lynx helicopters. Its missile capability had been overtaken by aircraft development by 1962–63, when HMS Devonshire and Hampshire entered service, but in the early and mid-1960s the modern lines of these guided-missile destroyers, with their traditional RN cruiser style and their impressive-looking missiles, enabled the overstretched Royal Navy to project sufficient power to close down the threat of a militant, left-leaning Indonesia to Malaysia and Borneo during the Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation.[23]. HMS Cornwall was the last Royal Navy Type 22 frigate, retired from service on 30 June 2011. A Type 199 VDS set is fitted to the stern. On the other hand, both newer (Type 22 frigate) and older (county class destroyers) design ships absorbed substantial punishment and were able to survive. The Seaslug system was a large weapon. M.D. Antrim and Glamorgan both served in the Falklands War; Antrim was the flagship of Operation Paraquet, the recovery of South Georgia in April 1982. Engineering training ship 1980. Hulls 07 and 08 were approved in 1963 as a temporary stopgap,[6] and the ninth and tenth hulls were cancelled. Against staff advice, a tight fitting, fixed side-hangar for the anti-submarine Westland Wessex helicopter was added on the insistence of the First Sea Lord. The class was built in three batches between 1959 and ⦠ship 1971 (abandonned), Laid up 1979. ESKIMO taken Devonshire, Hampshire and Antrim had been the names of Devonshire-class armoured cruisers of the First World War. 1/72nd Daring Class Destroyer 1949 semi kit. There are questions as to whether it was ever fully operational and there were problems with missiles breaking up when the boosters separated. However, by 1962, the US was concentrating on the medium range radar guided RIM-24 Tartar and long range RIM-8 Talos, which had success against long range North Vietnamese aircraft from 1968. M.D. In 1960, because US-designed missiles were seen at the time to be superior to the Seaslug, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) proposed a variation of the County-class armed with the US Tartar missile and two additional modifications: hangar space for three Westland Wessex helicopters and a steam propulsion system, rather than the combined steam and gas system used in the County class. [42] In the mid-1960s the County-class destroyers were assets; their impressive appearance and data links, feeding off the carriers' Type 984 radar, projected effective capability during the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation. ISBN 978-184832-150-2. When first conceived in the late 1970s, the Type 23 was intended to be a light anti-submarine frigate to counter Soviet nuclear submarines operating in the North Atlantic. The Last Cruiser". The United States Congress authorized the original six frigates of the United States Navy with the Naval Act of 1794 on March 27, 1794, at a total cost of $688,888.82. The electronics required for the Seaslug were the large Type 901 fire-control radar and the Type 965 air-search radar. Laid up 1979, Recomissioned 1982, The limitations of the beam riding guidance method and lack of a homing head, meant the Mk 1 and 2 Seaslug were intended to have nuclear variants - the much larger blast compensating for lack of accuracy. another ship tied up on the inside. Laid up 1979, Disposed 1981, Royal Mountbatten staged an impressive demonstration shoot for flag officers and politicians: the Seaslug test ship HMS Girdle Ness launched ten successive Seaslugs, including a salvo of two Seaslugs together. They carried one-half of the COSAG plant installed in the COUNTY class, and therefore acted as prototypes for this powerplant. Laid up 1981, Recomissioned 1982, A starboard Macmillan. radars fitted in this photo. [citation needed] The improved Mk2 version had 10,000 ft (3000m) greater altitude and speed. (The last of that class, HMS Cumberland, had survived until 1959 as a trials ship). In 1961 the United States commissioned USS Long Beach, the first vessel designed from the keel up as a guided-missile cruiser and the first surface warship to steam under atomic energy. Deerfield is a village in Lake County, Illinois, United States and is located approximately 25 miles north of Chicago, Illinois.

Each missile was 6 m (19 ft 8 in) long and weighed two tons; its handling arrangements and electronics systems were also large; so even fitting a single system aboard a ship the size of the Counties was a challenge. The landing pad was a lift that would The U.S. Navy has chosen Wisconsinâs Fincantieri Marinette Marine to build a new class of frigates that pack more technology and firepower than similar warships. In 1955 the new First Sea Lord Louis Mountbatten specified the development of an April 1955, 4800 ton Fast fleet escort design (DNC 7/959) as a Seaslug carrying vessel with a Y stern positioned twin 3/70 AA mount replaced by Seaslug (DNC 7/1002) [7] instead of the then approved development of a large GW 58A 15,400 ton cruiser[8] which would have combined Seaslug with Type 984 3D radar and a conventional Tiger-class gun armament.

[27] As early as 1952, Air Chief Marshal John Slessor (Chief of the Air Staff) the most influential defence Advisor to Winston Churchill considered the Navy irrelevant in a nuclear war,[28] he first defined, the role of RN was "uncertain"[28] as a pretext to maintain a large fleet and required only for political reasons. This list of museum ships is a comprehensive, sortable, annotated list of notable museum ships around the world. Designed specifically around the Sea Slug anti-aircraft missile system, the primary role of these ships was area air-defence around the aircraft carrier task force in the nuclear-war environment. The collapse of the 1956 Suez operation and the huge impact of the British hydrogen bomb tests in 1954-57[29][30] led to the 1957 review of Britain's defences, reliance on nuclear deterrence by strategic aircraft, missiles and missile submarines and doubt that a nuclear war would last long enough to require trans-Atlantic convoys. photo. Conway Maritime. There is no Seacat or associated fire control The operations room, sited the main radar, sonar, electronic warfare screens and communication data and computer links. After leaving British service, four ships were sold to the Chilean Navy and one to the Pakistan Navy. The County class was a class of British guided missile destroyers, the first such warships built by the Royal Navy. Four of the "Counties" had names which had been used by the famous interwar County-class cruisers: London, Norfolk, Devonshire and Kent. Thomas photo. Marine training ship. TARTAR alongside the Argentine The Leander-class, or Type 12I frigates, comprising twenty-six vessels, was among the most numerous and long-lived classes of frigate in the Royal Navy's modern history. 1/72nd C Class / HMS Cavalier Semi kit. Two different reasons have been put forward for the Australian decision: according to an Australian history, British authorities would not allow a steam-propelled variant of the county,[40] whereas, according to a British account, the re-design required to accommodate the Tartar missile would have taken longer than the RAN was prepared to accept.[41]. Although superior the Type 984 3D radar was rejected as it was even heavier and excluded a twin turret 4.5-inch armament forward which was needed for gunfire support or action against surface vessels. And then there was one. HMS Kent was a batch-1 County-class destroyer of the Royal Navy.She and her sisters were equipped with the Sea Slug Mk-1 medium-range surface-to-air missile SAM system, along with the short-range Sea Cat SAM, two twin 4.5-inch gun turrets, two single 20mm cannon, ASW torpedo tubes, and a platform and hangar that allowed her to operate one Wessex helicopter. Thomas lower the helicopter into the hangar, and then form the roof of the hangar. 2× triple-tube launchers for shipborne torpedoes, Purvis, M.K., 'Post War RN Frigate and Guided Missile Destroyer Design 1944-1969', Transactions, Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA), 1974, This page was last edited on 2 January 2021, at 09:36. Kent would serve as a floating (though immobile) accommodation and training ship in Portsmouth harbour until 1996. However, the RAN instead decided to proceed with the Perth class (a modified version of the US Charles F. Adams class). boat. It had an unusually high public profile, due to the popular BBC television drama series Warship.The Leander silhouette became synonymous with the Royal Navy ⦠HMS Kent (D12) was a County-class guided missile destroyer launched in 1961 and sold in 1997 for breaking up. However nuclear warhead for Mk 1 Seaslug (for the first group of ships) was dropped as it needed extra crew, space and security which were not available on the smaller hull; development of the nuclear warhead for Seaslug on the second group of ships was cancelled in June 1962,[26] to reduce the naval budget, and the RNs requirement below 334 tactical nuclear warheads. The Tu 95 and the improved Tupolev Tu-142 were demanding targets for a missile like Seaslug; the long-range Soviet turboprop aircraft flew at an altitude of 7.5 mi (40,000 ft; 12,100 m), at 572 mph (921 km/h)[24] and were barely within the engagement capability of Seaslug. In RN parlance of the time, they were called "Sloops" to avoid the conotations that the term "frigate" carried as being a single purpose design. Daring to Devonshire in Warship 2006. [35] The Royal Air Force's semi-active land-based Bristol Bloodhound was unrelated to Seaslug development, but drew top scientists away from RN work. A portion of the village is in Cook County, Illinois, United States. These had magazines for 225 shells for each gun, two-thirds of the magazine capacity for the same guns in the single-turreted Leander-class frigates. 1985. [46] Short-range air defence was provided by the GWS-22 Seacat anti-aircraft missile system, which made the Counties the first Royal Navy warships to be armed with two different types of guided missile. This was important as the Type 984 3D processing system on the carriers Victorious, Hermes and Eagle were removed from 1967 to 1972, affecting the first four County class ships which dependended on datalinks to the carrier systems for primary radar and targeting processing of Seaslug. The final four County-class ships, with hull numbers 07 to 10, were delayed in 1960 while an anti-submarine escort carrier was considered. side view of ASHANTI.
