And so She Sets Sail
HMS Daring's set off for it's first contractor-led sea trials. Don't think there's any involvement from our side yet, that's probably a year or so off.
Impressive ship, you can see from the Royal Navy website, it's the largest air defence destroyer ever operated by the RN. Speed sounds impressive, and despite its size it's apparently very maneuverable. Makes me proud to be British, looking at this feat of engineering and technology, a world beater. And, if rumours are true, the Americans are bowled over too.
