[BITList] no joke

[x50type at cox.net]

This is no joke -- It IS indeed a mighty vessel; it can track missiles the size of a cricket ball [take that new zealand] and has great efficiency and plenty of fuel storage to give an endurance of 7,000 nautical miles (13,000 km) at 18 knots (33 km/h). High power density, coupled with the hydrodynamic efficiency of a longer hull form, allows for sustained high speed; It has been reported that Daring reached her design speed of 29 knots (54 km/h) in 70 seconds and achieved a speed of 31.5 knots (58 km/h) in 120 seconds during sea-trials in August 2007. 
And at the bargain price of only one billion pounds, what more could one ask for?
But there is more – another Type 45 is standing by on short notice if needed.
With this veritable plethora of formidableness the USS John C Stennis Carrier Battle Group can stand down and the rest of the world rest assured that the Royal Navy has the Iranians and the Strait of Hormuz under control.
