HMS Edinburgh (D97), conducts the Royal Navy's last live fire exercise with Sea Dart missiles
Type 42 Destroyer HMS Edinburgh (D97), performs the Royal Navy's final live fire exercise with the Sea Dart air defence missile.
The launches took place off the Outer Hebrides during Exercise Joint Warrior, against Mirach drones.
Sea Darts have nine confirmed successful engagements which comprise six Argentinian aircraft, 2 Argentinian helicopters, and one Iraqi Silkworm missile which had locked on to USS Missouri.
All Type 42 vessels are due to be withdrawn from service in 2013, & are being replaced by a handful of the new Type 45, which use the new Sea Viper missile.

Sad to think that each new type of vessel the Navy receives is built in lower quantities than the type it replaces

@Bawbag
The Edinburgh was only refurbished 2 years ago, seems a waste of money to pay it off so soon

Edinburgh is a good looking vessel, pity the UK cant afford a navy now as we have millions of scroungers to pay for
