Post by: pugwash on May 31, 2010, 09:52:15 pm: Interesting how they fired the missiles - they dont get fitted until next year - they are going to use
Daring for so many first of class trials that Defender will be fully operational before she is.
Still quite an interesting programme made for the general public - we probably have a more
technical view - especially the ex-matelots which I believe there are quite a few on "Mayhem"

Post by: jonny shoreboy on June 01, 2010, 07:58:22 pm: I liked the HMS Daring show. I'm not much of a techno type and just like warships and boats in general. Kind of want to build one now... {-)
