Originally by: Locus Bey One can only hope it sinks or rapid rusts along with all the rest. Stupid waste of money imo
Ah yes, because it'll be much less of a waste if it's useless, won't it?
Now they've bought the damned thing, we might as well hope it works...

I think they fracked up a little.
In the next 10 years, as many as eight T45s could be built, mainly to defend the two large aircraft carriers that were ordered last month.

Ordered: 2000
Either they need a smeg load of new shipyards.. or there going to be out of date before they get 20 off the production line.
The year 2000, not 2000 ships  --------

Originally by: Amarria Black I'm having a tough time coming up with a method of killing them short of target saturation or resource denial.
Blob? ^_^
Heh, that would be the saturation part. Fire a missile at an AEGIS crusier, the cruiser swats the missile out of the sky with little effort, uses its over-the-top sensor equipment to find you, and then proceeds to WTFPWN you. Fire 50, and you get a better (albeit more expensive) result.
You could build and take along your own one of these: stalemate! Both ships can do nothing but throw missiles at each other and watch them explode at a point about equidistant between the two. The winner? Whichever one brought along the most ammunition! --------

Thats capitalism for ya. Chinese firms managed to out-perform American firms through exploiting cheap labour, and ended up on top.
Time to switch to communism?  --------

Hardly, we just need to even out the trade imbalance with China.
Only allow China to export to us what they import from us in dollar value. That would pretty much **** their economy over. Only reason they have an economy is becauise of US Wal-Mart shoppers...
And there I was thing espirit de capitalism was a free and unrestricted trade environment in which corporations sink or swim solely based on their merits and competitiveness on the open market.
If you're willing to accept trade limitations to favour a particular nationality, wouldn't it make sense to employ trade limitations in order to protect the humble consumer too? Because that'd be espirit de socialism instead  --------

Freaking stupid government.
It's called a defence budget, they have limited money to put towards military toys and do not touch the money from other departments such as health or education.
A very impressive and modern ship although i'm sure they are not releasing its 'full features' to the general public only the ones that you need to know. On the price, 1 bil is nothing, in times we live in it pays to be one step ahead of the enemy.
Ahh theres nothing like flopping your international peen on the table and saying 'hey guys look what we got!'
Good job Royal Navy
Ironically enough, in theory new military technology could be a money saver in the future.
If you consider that this is a very small ship that can do the work of several old-tech much larger ships, that means that it'll need to be staffed by less crew, have less bits that need replacing, less fuel being burned, etc. etc. etc...
Think, if every ship in the Royal Navy was replaced with the equivalent in fire power of these little guys, that'd be a lot of money being saved.
In theory... --------
