"The Royal Navy Type 45 destroyer is stuck in the dock again!" Russian media reported on February 10: "Such a face-smashing thing, the British Royal Navy Type 45 destroyer staged again." Due to engine problems, all six Royal Navy Type 45 destroyers were moored at berths. The British began building the Type 45 destroyer in 2003. The Type 45 destroyer entered the British Navy from 2009 to 2013. The Type 45 destroyer used two V12-VASA32 diesel generators (each with 2 MW), which led to the Type 45's lack of power. These shortcomings were exposed when the British Type 45 destroyer was sent on duty in the hot climate of the Persian Gulf: because of the hot weather, the energy consumption of the cooling system increased dramatically, and the diesel generators could not withstand the load. And there is a malfunction. Because of this, the British Type 45 destroyer lost speed and the warship had to be towed to the base for repairs. For a time, all six Royal Navy Type 45 destroyers were not ready for missions due to various malfunctions, and all of them were moored in port, and now the Royal Navy Type 45 destroyers have once again staged a "collective nest" riot. In the spring of 2018, the UK government and BAE Systems signed a contract under which the UK company had to eliminate the power defects that had been discovered. BaE Systems decided to replace two diesel generators with three larger ones, but there was no money. The re-dressing plan has been delayed. In November 2021, Lt. Gen Chris Gardner, commander of the Royal Navy, told the UK Defence Special Commission that all six warships could be repaired by 2028. He also confirmed that the gas turbine of the British destroyer Type 45 Diamond, escorted by the Royal Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier in July 2021, had failed and had to be replaced. During the escort of the British aircraft carrier Royal Queen Elizabeth, the British type 45 "Diamond" destroyer was near the Mediterranean sea and Singapore, and the gas turbine was damaged twice in a row. As a result, there was no British Type 45 Diamond destroyer in the ranks of the Royal Queen Elizabeth. #UK #Destroyer ##燃气轮机 #
