Visit to HMS Daring

Carron reports: My recollection of the ship itself ... 8k tons, 0-30 in under 2 minutes, 500 metre turning circle at 30 knots and a stopping distance of 5 ship's lengths - tankers take 42 miles! Generates enough power to light up Lincoln. Can track hang gliders at 250 miles as well as all the detailed air movements at every airport inside that radius! Has a pretty good air picture at about 10x that range!!. The most comfortable crew conditions of any warship in the Navy. With the contractors the crew are still trying to work out how it all works and how to put it all together, so she won't be fully operational for a few more months. Amazing ops room, which still has a place for chinagraph pencils!! It is the most sophisticated anti-air Destroyer in the world and is being watched very closely by the Russian Trawler in international waters well to the South West!!
