"My job is to get everyone inebriated in a sensible fashion in that they don't go too far". Best quote of the whole documentary!

God help us. That really inspired confidence in Joe Public.
She's fantastic. What a leader
@@alistairhowes9805 obviously a product of positive discrimination.
It appears the Baldwin trolls are among us lol
Don’t forget this C4 documentary was first shown 3-4 years ago. “History”.
thought I had seen this before

Several upgrades already and no not the engine
I enjoyed those episodes when they were first released-- and am happy to watch this one again.
Where can I see the next episode
Anyone else feel overwhelmed with pride in our senior Service?
WHAT SERVICES.
Watching this is extremely emotional for me as an Ex RAN sailor. A fantastic doco. Im absolutely thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service your commitment and your dedication to keeping us safe. ♥♥♥
You did nothing in your service and neither will these token soldiers.
It’s crazy to think that half of this crew are no longer serving personnel !
It might be indicative of something else........
@@bertplank9892 It's indicative of the average length of service.
The pirate skull and crossbones comes from British warships returning home after making a Kill
Interesting ship. Really liking the big windows at bridge levels and large access ways. Very different to ships made in last part of 20th century. Looks like realisations made about survive ability eschewing passive measures and providing more emphasis on access and awareness. Nice.
I do hope the lad who has the heart attack is ok
We can see he was in some pain
I do not think he will be allowed to sea again
I wish him well
This class of ship is relatively new to the fleet but very well known in the dockyards for its many visits to correct unreliable systems. When a ships propulsion system is unreliable, the ship is too. Hopefully these issues will be rectified eventually.
The biggest weakness of our Royal Navy, as it has been since WW2, is its size.
We didn't need to be big because we are a NATO country working together with Europe and USA. Since this aired things have changed thx to Putin. It's a real worry because if we need to bolster up then the government will absolutely do it. The problem is then where do they make cuts? It's just bad news for the poorest people who may feel it the most.
@@dunki-dunki-dawg In my opinion we don't need any of these ships. Their primary NATO role, along with the American Aegis fleet, is to protect Europe from Russian missiles. No European ships have that capability. Their secondary role is fleet protection. A fleet that we would not need at all if we had food and energy security in this country and were out of NATO.
Like Trump has said on occasion, it is time Europe put some money into defending itself rather than relying on others to do it.
What's the point of a huge fleet when there's hardly anyone to fight? Can't shoot at the Russians without triggering WWIII. Can't shoot at the Chinese for the same reason. As for other nations - almost all of them have become client states of nuclear equipped superpowers. So what's left?
He said “Official hospitality is what the Royal Navy does best.” 😳 Really?
Cheers and Gratitude! from Canada.

Will there be a continuation of this series on HMS Duncan? As I would like to see what happens. ❤
Im seeing a lot of people writing rubbish about the Type 45, so here’s what i got to say about it: (Its a bloody good ship)
The Type 45 Sampson and S1850M Radar is far better than US SPY-1, Aster 30 has significantly higher p/k than US SM-2 and slightly higher than SM-6 (at least the earlier versions). T45 does lack the ability to take down ICBM’s and longer range Ballistic missiles (as it doesnt use SM-3), but it can shoot down SRBM and IRBM - as has been proven in Red Sea recently. It is currently undergoing upgrades, with updates to radar and missiles to enable it to shoot down longer range ballistic missiles - and in future Aster 30 Block 2 will have equivalent capabilities to SM-3. In terms of AAW destroyers, it is at the same level, and better in some respects as any ship in the world - including Arleigh burkes (although latest Flight 3 Burkes will likely be superior). It does lack some ASW capacity (Towed Array Sonar), but that is because it is somewhat useless/inefficient to have ASW kit on a non ASW optimised ship/destroyer - instead, it relies on Merlin helicopters - best ASW Helicopters in world for torpedo launches and majority of its ASW capabilities. If you want to read more into this, use this link www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/04/us-navy-royal-rn-frigate-destroyer-submarine-russia-nato/ - It’s an article by Tom Sharpe, a retired Captain on a Royal Navy Type 23 ASW Frigate talking about why the Arleigh Burke really isn’t very useful for ASW. If you want to talk about its Land attack and Anti Ship capability, this is admittedly limited - although they are currently being fitted with 8x NSM canisters which will provide them with better anti ship capabilities than Arleigh Burke for instance. In terms of the talk about them having equal capabilities to European frigates, they have the best radar on a warship in Europe, they are the largest Warship (obviously excluding Aircraft carriers and amphibious, resuplly ships etc) in Europe so have the longest range, have more VLS than every other European warship (other than French and Italian Horizon class that was codeveloped with UK in the project which eventually turned into T45 - they only have 2 each anyway) (they are also currently being fitted with 24 extra CAMM VLS to cement this lead). But naming doesnt really matter in this day and age as it differs from country to country - for instance the French call all of their warships frigates while the British define a destroyer as an anti-air platform while a frigate is an anti-submarine or general purpose platform. The US has a similar distinction to the British with the upcoming constellation cast frigate being primarily for anti-submarine warfare. The type 45 is certainly more than the Hobart class. It has better radar, more VLS (soon to be double the amount), better missiles, a longer range, better Anti-ship capabilities, more CIWS etc.
So T45 does have some weaknesses, but it really is one of the best, if not the best AAW warship in the world. Prove to me that its not with actual points, facts and figures and i will be happy to accept/show differing evidence/debate a point, but dont jsut come here with some no research nonsense that you believe it isn’t a good warship.
You don't know what you are talking about. The latest Arleigh Burkes are equipped with the AN/SPY-6, the most advanced ship's radar in the world. Try keeping up to date. You Brits just can't accept the fact that Britannia doesn't rule the waves and hasn't for a hundred years. The Royal Navy only has one destroyer and three frigates currently operational and deployed. Your ships are maintenance nightmares and two generations behind the US, Japan and Australia.
I’m just gonna say that I believe you. Looks like you know what he is bloody saying!
Thanks lol 😂👍
Totally agree.
It isnt a bad ship, but its not the most advanced warship in the world. The Burke Flight IIIs are
@08:12 This DD's ships store is about 33% bigger than what I had on my U.S. Sprance Class DD and the offerings look to be about 50%+ better. But I didn't see any Playboy magazine for sale alongside of canned Tuna 🤣😛
I'm a Brit and I'm proud of our military's history and professionalism - but it's kind of pointless having this equipment without a meaningful or decisive ability to engage anything
What? You should wait until you need it to start building it? That’s called “shortsighted” or maybe outright stupid.
Worked on her when she was getting built, the 6 of them actually 👍
Best thing about the navy?... when the boss says CHARGE... he has to go with you !😅😅
The least you have to worry is the air threat at the Black Sea. Type 45 have powerfull radar, can easily spot missiles, planes, other ships etc... But whats missing from the Type 45 Destroyers? Well, yeah... Anti-Submarine or ASW... You never know whats lurking beneath the waves especially at the Black Sea. Thats Russian infested water nowadays. From Kilo-class submarines to Yasen-class submarine which carries hypersonic anti-ship missiles... You dont want to mess with them without proper anti-submarine equipement or ships.... You need an Astute-class submarine or a Type 23 Frigate next to you. The Wildcat helicopter alone is not enough.
Part 2 please
This was on 3 or 4 years ago because I watched it. But it’s still a bloody good ship and it’s British made.
Do you know what channel it was on? I am struggling to find the other episodes
@@MRIRISHLAD possibly channel 5 or Try BBC 1. You could look on here for them or google mate. Great series👊
With French missiles 😂😂
@@stephennelmes4557 What French Missiles?
@george-ev1dq Aster missiles are designed and built by Eurosam, a consortium that consists of MBDA 🇫🇷, MBDA 🇮🇹, and Thales, a French🇫🇷 multinational company.
Each holds a 33% share in Eurosam.
Realy I like this powerful warships
WOW , can see another ship at 9 miles , missile distance .
Very impressive, the Royal Navy never disappoints!
Getting into that tiny bunk is a nightmare , 'matress ' looks razor thin .
Small step up from 'shift sleeping ' the hammocks now look 3 star :-)
the 'Flagship ' of 4 vessels ? Hardly an armada !
Clyde built in Rutherglen ❤ 🏴
We Irish depend on the Royal Navy and the RAF for our defence so I’m wondering if the ships company of HMS Duncan has ever worked alongside the Irish Naval Service?
Would love to see a documentary from a similar Russian ship... Bet the standard and professionalism would be on another level, a much lower one.
KEEP BELIEVEING THE BULLSHIT .
Hmm, I read, that the noise signature is pretty bad. Towels in the doors etc.!? Seems like a "Hurra-Hurra" docu.
8 is not only the most advanced ship in the world.There are other countries with just as capable ships has
Great video!
My dad was in the RNZN in WWII and I share his love and respect for the sea.
I loved the "condom fairy"!
Being cooped up with a few women as on this ship, I'd find the "no touching" policy very hard.
I'm in an office workplace and I know a number of my female workmates well, having worked with them for years.
We're quite close so I give them the occasional hug! Couldn't do that on a warship though and I'd find that hard.
I was enjoying that
i hope thers more of this we dont get shows like this an or shows like this on are own navy
An aircraft or missile coming in at 3 x speed of sound would give Duncan 38 secs to react from 150 miles out. Not long to detect and make decisions. May sound impressive but not much time.
Yes, but the position of the plane will be different, is at that time, that real intentions will be shown, given the time to lock on and fire.
150 nautical miles divided by 3x the speed of sound is 270 seconds. Just from a mathematical point of view, obviously the actuakl reaction time must be lower but 38 seconds is a bit off.
He received a small bag with a few water-melon slices and instinctively offered some to the camera crew.
Amazing how such an old ship still is the best and advanced in the world. With of course the best ASW helicopter in the world and the best crew in the world. All according to our British friends.
How reliable?.....their cars certainly are not
Yes we were shown a Krivak initially, but most shots shown were of a Kashin!
19:10
''put a cap on loose articles''
she says while handing out the gloves
Seriously , the most advanced ship does not have enough crew space ? Hammock in the office ? :-)
So advanced they don’t even have enough beds!
Where are the other episodes of Duncan ????
Russia and China would be the #1 fan of these types of videos . Of course they would know alot about these ships but how many unanswered question would be answered watching these . When was the last time we got to watch one of these video's about a Russian or China's war ships ever wonder why .
Outmost respect at 16:40
Could’ve picked a tougher name than Duncan for a firepower laden warship… like Predator or Terminator😂
Did you hear the Chinese man with accent doing the laundry , holy moly
I do believe people are miss using the word 'unprecedented '
280 crew! WTF are they all doing?
Why not put sub cutaneous transponder in all crew for immediate checking? I know it’s a bit Orwellian BUT every second counts, especially at action stations.
When's the 2nd episode coming
You wouldn't want to suffer from claustrophobia, getting into those bunks!!!!!
Where is the part 2?
👍
Don't make me larf!
Surely fire defense should be;
1. evacuate.
2 flood with inert gas.
3. done.
Wonder how aware the captain is that she’s been given the most advanced ship in the world to make a massive political statement about diversity in the British armed forces, rather than what she can/can’t do 😂😂😂
Nato Commodore? Number 64?
It can still be sunk
YOU MUST PROVE ME LIKE A CAPTAIN YOURE MY DAD. TO SURVIVE.AYE, SIR.
What happened there? MOB sounded in daylight, didn't launch until dusk.
Hmm working on one prop , what happened about that ?
Stolen footage from a copyrighted TV series
My favorite thing for breakfast is chocolate covered toilet rolls with hot chocolate then I’m ready for watch
The main question is if she can track and intercept a Zircon???
Where can I watch this series?
chnl 5
Does anyone know where I can find the other episodes? Was this on ITV? Channel 5? BBC? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
chn 5
Captains beret wants sorting proper
They all seem so... pleasant... compared to their American counterpart
Letters from home after 5 days, bags of condoms, propeller breakdown. chasing dead trees, cocktailparty. Im sure the Russians are reaaly scared of the Duncan!
This must be quite old , Crimea was 2014 .
Even talking about the ' Queen's finest liquor ' at the party .
People alwaus inderestimate Britian but we are the father of the industrial revelution and tje modern world we also have been at war for 1000 years in one way or another alas we are very well versed in the art of war with or wothout allies.
6:30 that kind of stuff makes people from other countries aliens from one another
to many announcements for sure , making things more complicated that need be
Just one word: Kinzhal.
Need to get those medals court mounted, swingers aren't really the done thing in the forces!!!!
The World seems to forget that the Royal Navy has been tier 1 for hundreds of years, invariably against the odds. We just need more sailors. Modern youth are having our legacy taught out of them. The Government needs to advertise all the services and conscript troublesome youths.
Unfortunately, it is undergunned. Not enough VLS cells, not enough weaponry. Don't even get me started on reloading.
god help us
The US Navy is always on the job we don't drink on the ship
Maybe the morale results of that is why the Royal Navy regularly beat far larger US naval forces in exercises.
Or maybe it is because the Royal Navy is at least twice the age of the Untied States, and every single sailor knows the historical precedent they have to live up to.
BRAHMOS HAS FASTER SPEED THAN MACH 3. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Woman power 😊Men strength 💪HMS Duncan's victory ✌
Most advanced destroyer in the world..? I believe that title belongs to the USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000).
It’s a 4 year old documentary
you are welcome to red sea
Good job we got 2 New aircraft carriers!!Prince of Wales and Queen Elizabeth I carriers!!plus their carrier groups!
Reposted video. Damn.
Why are you complaining? If you don't like the content why not scroll pass than coming here to irritate people.

"The Most Advanced Warship in the World" 😂😂😂
What? Calm down!
LOL
$1,000 on ANY Flight III Burke.
splits on ships is a no no,splits in command of ships? good grief🤣
Ik this is gonna offend some people but the Type 45 is not the most „advanced“ warship in the world, it’s not even playing in the top tier. All in all, it’s a pretty average anti air destroyer with a sensor and systems package that can be found on many warships built in the last 15 years, reasonable tactical and operational properties and somewhat basic armament capabilities that is very common in most european navies, even on frigates. It may be less reliant on foreign imports but that’s about it. They’re built to provide air defense and combat smaller, less dangerous frigates & corvettes, they’re severely lacking ASW capabilities (compareable to the German F123s from the late 90s) and have very limited AS capabilities, although that last point can be said for a lot of modern warships.
This might sound harsh now but in a capability understanding, the Type 45 is a very expensive Hobart class with upgraded sensors and domestic missiles. It does not play in the same league as the american Arleigh Burks FLTIIIs, japanese Mayas or chinese Type 055s. BEA might say it does, but it doesn’t. Wich is totally fine since they’re an average class of destroyer geared towards the North and Baltic Sea. But pretending like this is some kind of hyper advanced gamechanger in maritime warfare is just not true. That myth was quite literally created to justify those 6 ships costing almost double of what they should have.
Absolutely spot on. The Arleigh Burkes also have the capability to shoot down ICBMs.
Sampson Radar is far better than US SPY-1, Aster 30 has significantly higher p/k than US SM-2 and slightly higher than SM-6 (at least the earlier versions). T45 does lack the ability to take down ICBM’s and longer range Ballistic missiles (as it doesnt use SM-3), but it can shoot down SRBM and IRBM - as has been proven in Red Sea recently.

Burks need to shot 2 or 3 missiles at one target T45 shots one who can shot down more targets?
@@leeprince9283 No it doesn't. US Navy doctrine calls for the shooting of several missiles to be certain the target is hit. The US Navy's operational tests only involve shooting one missile. Typical Brit who doesn't know what he's talking about.
How wrong do you want to be in one paragrapgh lol.
Lets Start with your first claim, "average AA Destroyer with average sensors"
Wrong the S1850M is advertised as being capable of fully automatic detection, track initiation, and tracking of up to 1,000 targets at a range of 400 kilometres,it is also placed roughly twice the height of most navies spy Radar sets extending the radar horizon and allowing more reaction time for sea skimming or stealth missiles, it can also track objects in space and although highly clasified still it is said to have great ability to find stealth targets, ( but that can't be confirmed ). So in many regards the radar is superior to the US Spy 1.
You also claim it can be found on many ships built in the last 15 years, you do realise these ships were first built in 2006 ? 18 years ago......
"Somewhat basic armament capabilities that is very common in most european navies, even on frigates."
I'm not sure what you mean by this as it's AA loadout is literally the tied largest in the European theatre and is slated to add 24 more AA cells to her soon.
"It may be less reliant on foreign imports but that’s about it."
Im not sure how you came to this conclusion either im guessing you were just trying to give the Type 45 a slight win so you didn't come across as a complete hater but even this is false, although a lot of parts are technically built in the UK, specalist parts are not and without them the ship doesn't function so it's not really a plus mark for the Type 45.
"They’re built to provide air defense and combat smaller, less dangerous frigates & corvettes, they’re severely lacking ASW capabilities (compareable to the German F123s from the late 90s) "
You answered your own question.... she is a dedicated AA Platform not a multi role guided missile destroyer she is designed to do ONE THING , provide a task force with a big AA net and she does that very well.
Your point is like buying a ferrari and then complaing the shopping doesnt fit in the front seat... of course it doesn't, it wasn't designed for that.
"the Type 45 is a very expensive Hobart class"
The Hobart class fires RIM-162 ESSM and The RIM-66C/D Standard MR , the RIM-162 being outclassed by aster 15 quite handidly and SM2 outclassed by the Aster 30.
So in her role as a DEDICATED AA platform she outperforms the Hobart in every single way.
"It does not play in the same league as the american Arleigh Burks FLTIIIs"
In terms of AA when the FLight III is online the Type 45 will have its upgraded aster 30 and its extra 24 cells so it will absolutely compete in terms of a AA platform, but keep in mind the Arleigh Burke is some 10000 tons some 1500 more than the type 45 and costs the US just under 15 billion for 10 ships..... even with economy of scale that's one fkn expensive ship.
Also just out of curiosity how many navies around the world do you think have a ship that can compete with a flight III Arleigh Burke?? You do realise it's one of if not the most capable destroyers on the planet.
"Japanese Mayas"
There are 2 of them..... 2.
I don't think i need to say much else but if you want to argue go ahead and read my Flight III arguement verbatim.
The Maya also currently does not have SM6 and will get it around the same time the Aster 30 upgrade is scheduled so as for a AA platform they are broadly similar.
Also the Maya is a guided missile destroyer like the Burkes she is ment to do multiple roles so please see my Ferrari analogy above for clarification.
"Chinese Type 055"
It's 11000 tons....... it has more VLS cells than ANY OTHER PLATFORM in the water at the moment it's also moving into cruiser teritory with them being clearly heavier than the american Ticonderoga class.
Again it is also a Guided missile destroyer and ment to fill many roles but again in as a pure AA platform they perform broadly similar.
"But pretending like this is some kind of hyper advanced gamechanger in maritime warfare is just not true. That myth was quite literally created to justify those 6 ships costing almost double of what they should have."
Yes they were overbudget, and horribly so, but to pretend they are not gamechanging for the Royal navy is stupid, they are clearly one of the most advanced AA platforms on the seas today and are only going to get more capable.
It's not a myth! they are very good and what they were built for and will continue to be in the future, but holding them up to a Flight III burke or a Type 055 and saying "wow it no have as many guns to go pew pew" shows either a complete lack of undersatanding of the ships role or a complete lack of maturity and thinking only "bigger number good must smash"
Ships are designed around a doctrine and the Royal navy at the time of building the Type 45 destroyers had a clear doctrine of wanting bespoke dedicated platforms to do a dedicated job, now with the Type 31 and the Type 26 to a lesser extent they are moving away from that doctrine into one more like the US, having one ship that can fill any role maybe not as well as a dedicated ship but to 90% as well and thats fine but don't try and act like the Type 45 isn't a top tier platform just because you are trying to shoehorn it into scenarios it wasn't built for.
The accomodation for the lower deck crew isd isgusting. There was more space available in the days of hammocks. than the RN provided on this class of vessel... Ships designed by non seagoing architects...🙄🙄 (ex RN 1950s)
HMS Duncan is quite nice boat I live within 10 miles of its home
The radar this type of boat uses needs a lot of power
It is a classic frigate and proud if the nation indeed.
2. Things to add;
1. Building cost is way too high compare with S Korea FFX3 or FFX4 or Japanese Mogami Class. SKorean and Japanese may only have 16 cell VLS but towed array sauna, combined censor mast (X/S dual band + IRST) are definitely next gen level. Also their battletronics (battle management electronics) are far superior (at par with SPY6-9 or Arleigh Burke Flight 3 level).
2. S Korea FFX3 currently has KVLS2 which is longer (9.8m) and wider (850mm diameter for cells). They are integrating short/ medium range ballistic missiles and supersonic cruise missile (similar to Brahmos or Yakhont). Hence the mission versatility is much broader than T45.
What troubles me the most is the huge price tag of British warships. Mogami Class (basic ASW version) is estimated at $400-450m and SKorea FFX3 costs ca. $380-410m. T45 or any replacement would easily cost Royal Navy 50-100% more than its peers. If the high construction costs continue as it is now, Royal Navy and gov fundings will be severely depleted (which is where we are now already).
We all salute and respect our lads who risk their lives to protect Britain and her interest overseas but we must give them the best we can. At the moment the failure at procurement is creating a permanent damage to our armed forces (e.g. RCH155!!!!).
HMS Stunning & Brave...🤤
Apparently so loud underwater that Russian submarines can hear the destroyers from hundreds of nautical miles 😂
Britain was built on it's Navy
Glad that 24 new Frigates and destroyers are being built as we speak.
Bet we never see even a quarter of that.
@@neilbaldwin592 We live in hope. I really think that they have too this time same as 138 F-35Bs Lightning Jet's because they've been signed for.
Going to take a decade to get them built if not more. At that point they will need upgrades
@@stuartnewman6968 With who may I ask? Your country declared a war against their own people. Like labelled them "racist white people". Now you can't even fix your own roads.
Just goes to show that the Brits are still the best in ship building industry. Not to sure about the captain's level of experience though?
YOU BELIEVE THAT THEN YOUR IN DREEM LAND .
I'd feel safer on an Arleigh Burke III.
Duncan is far more advamced than any of the Arleigh Burke series, both are in carrier groups, your comment is stupid
A Type 45 destroyer is far more advanced than a hardly broke, or even the third attempt.
The U.S.N.should convert and adapt that technology and armament to a couple of the Iowa class . And keep at least 2 of the 16" turrets. Talk about an intimidating warship.
The USN would never remove a turret from any of their Iowa's. Plus you have to remember these ships already are capable of firing tomahawk cruise missiles.
Awfully small room for sleeping in beds, uff. If any hint of claustrophobia you cant stay or sleep there.
