Good question Matty. I don't see any Phalanx style guns anywhere on her.

Looking up close does she use any protection on her back end?

A British challenger 2 tank weighing in at 82 tons is equivalent to 19 fully armoured Humvees. So what is the strength of the deck? Not sure how to measure that though. Is it mass?

Do you think she could manage tanks on her deck? How about an Abrams?

I heard once that an IMO number is used whilst building and pre-commissioned, once commissioned it is no longer used?
Good to keep the photos together on this site though.

BTW, Great photo but she's not HMS until commissioned.

No csaba ,it is not just the British Navy, even the Germans, and the French and others that at the moment I do not recall have them, but still I too would like an answer to our queries. And they are all with low numbers.
