So Vertical Launch Sea Wolf (32 missiles ready at any one time, fully autonomous, can engage sea simmers etc, 4nm range) doesn't count?
The topic came on on the Sea Jet thread and my point is/was which would be better protected?
1. CVS (or LPH/LPD), 1 * T42, 1*T23
or
2. CVS, 1*T23, Sea Harrier
All academic now anyway, but I wonder what answers mathemetical modelling would produce......
Personally I think it would be better to have enough Sea Wolf armed frigates to provide extended point defence for every high value unit. Sea Wolf still destroys incoming missiles at a range where they can do little damage. And both T22 and T23 are much better equipped to deal with submarine and surface threats than the T42.
Anyway, supposedly there is no air threat?
