Britains new ships so noisy they can be detected 100 miles away

Now don't get me wrong but isn't the reasoning behind the shape of these things in the first place to make them stealthy????





British warships are 'so noisy' Russian submarines can hear them 100 miles away


and I quote


The MoD said that because the Type 45 was an air defence battleship, stealth was not a “premium requirement”.
now bar them being promoted to "battleships" and being spoken about in past tense, surely their purpose in life will be to protect the carrier fleets, so if you can detect and identify them, then the logical place the find them in wartime would be with the carriers.
Or am I and the MOD missing something here.
