A formidable fleet of advanced warships that safeguard the seas with precision, advanced technology and immense firepower.
Also known as the Type 23 frigate, the Duke Class was originally designed for anti-submarine warfare during the Cold War.
They have evolved into ships capable of almost any task expected of them around the globe, equipped with the technology and weaponry to handle virtually any threat.
The Dukes are in the process of being replaced by two new classes of frigate, Inspiration and City class.
All warships carry small-calibre weapons such as the SA80 for surface and airborne targets. They are manually operated by gun crews on the upper deck, offering versatility in calibre and complexity.
Sea Ceptor is the cutting-edge air defence system on Britain’s frigates. It has the capability to defend an area of 500 square miles and engage multiple targets simultaneously. With high-speed missiles launched from its distinctive silo, Sea Ceptor can effectively destroy airborne threats and small surface targets.
