andym Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Don't forget that Seaslug was in the middle of all this, too. I had the experience of visiting one of the last County Class destroyers on a trip to Portsmouth many years ago. All the length of the ship behind the bridge was a missile factory that put all the bits together in sequence until it emerged in a single piece on the launcher at the stern. Amazing!

Tony B Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 MiD as it really should be. Mention in Dispatches. That explains the whirly thing on the back though, recovery of the Drouge Chute. Interesting thread, shows the US didn't develop everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
