The Northrop Grumman intercooler as fitted in the WR-21, on Type 45 destroyers, were not designed to operate in water temperatures beyond 30c.
The Northrop Grumman intercooler of the first Type 45 destroyer, HMS Daring, failed in the mid-Atlantic in 2010 and had to be repaired in Canada
The mid-Atlantic had water greater than 30C?
