The Type 31 Frigate in action

- CGI of the Type 31 frigate currently being built for the Royal Navy showing weapons firing.
Animation shows a Mk4 Commando Merlin helicopter landing on the flight deck, launch of sea boat (using twin davits), a Sea Ceptor missile launch (unclear if quad-packed in Mk41 launcher.) Naval Strike Missile launchers are shown - they may eventually be migrated from the Type 23 frigates as they decommission. The Bofors 57m Mk3 gun firing, streaming of the Sonar 2170 passive towed array associated with the Torpedo Defence System and finally, the Bofors 40mm Mk4 gun firing.
Video: Babcock
Fortunately the BAE 40 mm Mk4 gun has a much faster RoF than what is shown in the animated clip. I don't think it has different selection of RoF like Leonardo 76, but single shots are always possible of course.
BAE 40 mm Mk 4 apparently has a stepless setting of RoF from 1-300 rpm. My bad.
Or: A simulation of the type 31 frigate in action.
Very, very good marketing by the RN and Babcock. Unfortunately it doesn’t win wars.
40mm Bofors and 57mm Bofors, two gun with very similar capabilities, slightly different ranges
Would've been better to go with a 76 for the main gun probably. Not many options for the 57 ammo
@@admiralmallard7500 Thr 57mm is better for missile and UAV defence than the 76mm.
the 40 mm is to replace Phalanx as its primary role.
@@nickbrough8335 intresting
@@admiralmallard7500 I think 76mm as main gun, complement it with 40mm Bofors will be good combination
we wait frigate merah putih
Will the Type 31 have a Captas 4 sonar?
Obviously not
I know this page is for the type 31 frigate but people have a say for the protection of Britain

Does anyone know why the new recruitment add for the Royal Navy Submariner is censored?
There's a man doing benchpress and the weights on either end of the bar are censored? It seems completely unnecessary.
Branding. Can't show it off.
@Retrosicotte
It makes no sense though, why would you pay thousands to make a recruitment add only to ruin it because you didn't have the common sense to use plates that only have the weight written on them.
If that's the case whoever made the add is in the wrong job.
does that mean they’ll be armed with NSM for a short while then
Already confirmed the RN is getting it.
Yes,carried over from the retiring Type 23's.
@@paultanton4307so will the NSM be housed in the mk 41 VLS or will they be containerised as is shown in the video ?
@@tigerland4328 They will be Containerised - it is not VLS Compatible at present.
@@paultanton4307 oh right ok cheers. Do you think they will fit the towed array sonar from the type 23s on to the type 31s as the more I follow it the more it starts to seem like the Royal navy are getting a type 26 by the back door. It's armament has gone from 1x 57mm,2 x 40mm & mushroom farm to 1 x 57mm,2 x 40mm, mk 41 VLS & Naval strike missiles without a single ship hitting the water lol.

Now long before the real thing in action , will it be in two decades time ?
2027*
The steel for the keel of the first of these ships has already been lay’d,
@@anthonyashton8330HMS venturer is actually got most its structure now. Active has her keel blocks down. Hopefully well see 1 launch later this year or early next year
HMS Venturer is going to be in the water at the end of this year and should begin trials in 2025
@@admiralmallard7500 that’s come along quickly I know HMS Glasgow is currently in the water with the second city class in construction didn’t know hms venture was so far along, nice 👍🏻
Underwhelmed 😮
Why?
what were you expecting? The KG5?
Could have at least used a 127mm main gun. This has no offensive weapons at all. It can defend itself. But that's it. 😂
@@RR-us2kp ... to defend itself from what ? the shore ?
It would be nice if it was the real thing and not just a GC render
Well you wont have to wait long then
the real thing is still being built...
A lack of air and submarine defence relegates these vessels to ocean going patrol ops and not a lot else.
Theyll have sea ceptors and can equip aster 30, how is that lack of air defence?
@@admiralmallard7500 12 sea captor cells as originally fitted. 12 missiles at 2 per aircraft won’t last long in a conflict.
They don’t have the correct radar system for Aster missile system (only Type 45 have)
@nickbrough8335 Where are you getting 12 missiles from. They'll be fitted with 32 mk41 which can quad pack sea ceptor
@@admiralmallard7500 try reading the Navy Lookout section dealing with the class. They are design with a lot of empty space for expansion, but have been cut back to meet the £300 million budget
@@nickbrough8335 they originally were but they changed their mind and will know be equiped with 32 Mk 41 VLS. its covered on the Navy lookout website
Who makes this BS up? Just because it has MK 41 VLS, no weapon procurement program exists for the Type 26 or 31. These platforms are general-purpose frigates, noisy and cheap.
Why would there need to be just yet. The ships aren't built yet? The integration programs for the launchers and CMS on both vessels will probably take a few years. Procuring the missiles would be later on surely once the ships are actually handed over and firing tests, working up procedures etc can take place.
@@eagle_rb_mmoomin_418 I am not going to go back and forth about this because I'm wondering how many Build programs you've been involved with. So that you are aware, I am talking fact, and these vessels are to act like the Type 21s as cheap general-purpose warships not designed to work with the main fleet. They will compromise the advantage points of the T26s and T45s, but history stupidly says they will do what they are not supposed to do, and that's where the problems will come. The T31s are designed to take over and do the work of the Batch two river class vessels. General-purpose ships don't need much armament because thats not their role. So, first and foremost, you need to understand their jobs. With any vessel, the procurement of weapon systems starts long before the build. It hasn't because there is no money for type 26 and nothing planned for the 31s.
@@Highendaudio1 what are you on about. Type 31 and Type 26 are getting CAMM fitted and MK41. That means two brand new ship classses with kit spread out between two different sets of radars, RESMs (I suspect) and CMS. The amount of integration work going on at BAE and Thales for all that kit is going to be substantial especially on FOC. Given previous experience. Six odd years away from the estimated in service date. Why would the MOD be procuring the missiles now. I can also bet that the integration will slip with S/W issues.
@@eagle_rb_mmoomin_418 the Type 31 is not getting CAMs you assume too much that's not howitzer works ffs and The T26 maybe but there is no weapons procurement for any weapon systems. The system that was being transferred is dated you can dream all- you want I'm not just an online geek. Ps CAMMs isn't designed for the MK 41 but could be bodged to fit
@@Highendaudio1 Sea Ceptor is CAMM. Or are you saying MBDA when annoucing the Type31 contract don't know what they are talking about🤦.
The MK41 launchers for type 31 were announced by 1SL. So you're also saying he doesn't know what he'd on about either. The only concrete thing that exists for MK41 is a study to work out how to do it. So I'd agree there's zero chance they are delivered with it.
It's a shame they didn't go with an up armed proper warship version of this for the type 26. Much more practical and cost effective. The BAE global combat ship is a overweight, overpriced and outdated rubbish like all things made by BAE. And it's guaranteed to not be built on schedule. It'll be obsolete before it hit the water. Ask the Australians
1000 battleships would be a better capability.
No one ever had 1000 battleships
That's ridiculous, it will never happen.
1000 battleships still wouldn't be able to shoot down a single jet plane
go to bed grandad
I disagree. Two thousand 120 gun first-rate ships of the line would be much better.
