I thought they were suffering major manpower issues? Isn't that the reason they prematurely withdrew the Albion classes? Feels like they are just repeating the same mistake.

The destroyer’s missile payload will be divided into two sets of Mk 41 vertical launch cells (VLS) at the front and midships, with each section holding an estimated 64 VLS for a carrying capacity of 128 missile cells per ship.
 
RN seems poised to go far. They've their priorities right - beginning with sponsoring Welsh singers & getting 18 F-35Bs to fly off BOTH the aircraft carriers - miserable old hag & her son which is perennially in the dock under repairs , hence the decision to whittle down the requirements of the F-35B from ~70 to ~ 50 to 36 to eventually , I'm betting , 18 odd copies.

Rule Britania , Britania rule the waves
Britain never never shall be slaves.
