Brits still have the upperhand when it comes to the navy. IN MY OPINION
Certainly will do in the Destroyer department in about 4 years time. The US navy is still much bigger and US carrier tech is much better...teddy..jimmy wrote:

Brits , If you are speaking of your destoyers , it is better to view at newer then Sheffield Manchester class destroyer series . From what I know it is imroved Sheffield project , including corrected mistakes that were made and had been discovered during Falklands war .
Ships are gay. Kongo class looks the best though. Delhi class wins in "most interesting picture" section.
That's what is being discussed as the Sheffield. From '82 onwards all Sheffield class destroyers were batch 3/Manchester.Longbow wrote:

Since the thread title is "Best modern destroyer" I thought that would be what was meant.
