"The introduction of Engineering Training Ships is an important component of the Royal Navy's comprehensive programme to improve training and career development opportunities by increasing training capacity.

Ships in the operating cycle immediately ahead of refit will be used to deliver training alongside home Bases and Ports. HMS DAUNTLESS entered this profile in February this year. A reduced Ship's Company reside on board as normal, augmented by trainees who use the opportunity to gain experience through development activities in a realistic environment."

I catch it possible one old idea fit a new VLS for CAMM in the Type 23, no planned

To minimise ship impact, Sea Ceptor installation on the Type 23s has been engineered to use existing GWS 26 Mod 1 infrastructure and interface points. CAMM missiles will be fitted in the existing VL Seawolf silo (one canister per cell for a maximum of 32 missiles).

They will NOT dive the boat, they will transit on the surface, it will be a rough ride compared to the normally smooth sub-surface transit. There's a lot of sensitive equipment sensor wise in the conning tower, and I'm not certain they will be able to maintain the normal surface operations watch from the "crows nest", so it will be a different type of operation.

They have likely had a preliminary safety board, and on that determination, made a decision on who would conduct the return trip to UK, the original Captain, Officer's, and crew, or could even be a whole new crew, but that's not likely, unless something is really messed up.

They will have made the temporary fixes, to make the boat as "seaworthy" as is possible for the return trip.
