Ship #4139 #3437 #3438 #3200

Summary of Changes

These RN Type 45 entries appear to be hybrids blending aspects of the real warship prospective configuration:

3437 - D 32 Daring [Type 45 Batch 1] (United Kingdom - 2023) has CAMM but not NSM, - Still using Harpoon.

4139 - D 32 Daring [Type 45 Batch 1] (United Kingdom - 2023) has NSM but not CAMM

3438 - D 35 Dragon [Type 45 Batch 2] (United Kingdom - 2023) has CAMM but not NSM, - Still using Harpoon.

3200 - D 35 Dragon [Type 45 Batch 2] (United Kingdom - 2023) has NSM but not CAMM

Would benefit from a rationalised combination vessel which has both CAMM and NSM -(No Harpoon) circa 2026 perhaps please?

I believe, although this is a vague impression more than knowledge, the current ships have CAMM and no SSM at all and in the future the NSM will be fitted. Therefore 4139 and 3200 should be given CAMM and shunted out to the future and the others should have Harpoon removed.
