Britain's newest warships are set to strike enemies harder and deeper thanks to the new Mk41 Vertical Launch missile systems.
The Mk41 Vertical Launch cells are set to be fitted on Type 26 and Type 31 frigates – with both being built in Scotland to increase the number of ships in the Royal Navy over the next 10 years.
The First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Ben Key, said the systems will "deliver lethal, long-range offensive fires" and "enable potential use of a large variety of current and future anti-air, anti-surface ballistic missile defence and strike missiles".
But how does that improve on the Royal Navy's capabilities?
