We are investigating the Type 23-class surface combatant of the Royal Navy, a.k.a. the Duke class, one of the best warships created by British naval engineers. #type23 #frigate #royalnavy

Due to copyright issues, we re-uploaded the updated version of our Type 23 class video.

Why did the U.K. require a new frigate, even before the Type 22-class ships were commissioned?
What innovative features were introduced with the Type 23-class vessels?
Why do the Duke-class frigates lack a barrelled close-in weapon system?
What are the significant operational achievements of the Type 23 class?

Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we are investigating modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about the older weapon systems. We tell their epic stories, which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyzes, and tells the untold. You can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future will be. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.
