In a straight up battle the 1918 Navy would definitely lose just because of radar directed fire and anti-ship missiles. For the big battleships standard sea skimming anti-ship missiles might not be super effective because of the amount of armor, but I'm guessing the entire Royal Navy has at least some modern missiles that are designed to pop up and plunge through the deck.
- arethuza 7y agoHow many Harpoons does a Type 45 have though? I could see details online of how many launchers they have but not how many missiles are actually carried.
- rjsw 7y agoI would guess that they are too big to reload while at sea, so 8 on each ship.
- learc83 7y agoAll 13 type 23 frigates also come equipped with Harpoons. And the modern navy is so much faster than the 1918 Navy that firing their entire complement of missiles, retreating, and reloading is an option.
