"The new PEO office, to be run by Rear Adm. Scott Pappano, will not replace the current program manager shop overseeing the design and build of the Columbia. Instead, Pappano will be responsible for working with the UK on commonality between the Columbia and the nascent Dreadnought submarine program, while focusing on the “strategic systems portfolio, planning for tests, building facilities, all the things besides managing the day to day design and construction,” of the subs, Geurts said."

No AShM and the ship looks tired, seems lack of maintenance .. whats happening here, sad :(

AShM probably not installed due it's new role.

HMS Defender is now the described as “the most capable Type 45 in the Fleet.” The main upgrade in capability was the installation of the Shaman communications electronic support measures (CESM) fit to used to gather signals intelligence (SIGINT). The AS-4692 VHF/UHF tapered slotted array direction finding/acquisition array is fitted on the upper part of the pole mast. The AS-4293A VHF/UHF omnidirectional acquisition arrays are fitted half way up the foremast and on the hangar roof. Small HF antennas can be seen mounted on the deck edge amidships, two each port and starboard, just above the retractable companionway ladders.

Shaman is based on the US Navy’s AN/SSQ-130(V) Ship Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) Increment F cryptologic exploitation system. 7 sets have been purchased from the United States at a cost of around $90M and will eventually equip all 6 Type 45s, plus a set for shore-based training. Also included are spares, training packages and support equipment. US personnel were sent to Portsmouth to assist in the initial stages of this sensitive project.

Lieutenant General
Barrow is such a run down town very poor

amazing they build some of the most advanced SSN there

RN amphibious forces are looking at 2 x off shore amphibious vessels to add to their fleet

this would give them the 2 carrier geared for littoral missions plus HMS Bulwark and Albion LPDS and 3 x Bay Class from RFA

thats 9 warships al large for amphibious assault very modern and very capable

if only they could have retained the HMS Ocean to provide ASW screen

thats pretty impressive
