WORLD OF WARSHIPS HMAS VENDETTA DDE 08 WORLD OF WARSHIPS HMAS VENDETTA DDE 08 - STARBOARD HARD TURN, CLEAR CONDITIONS, VIW OF A AND B MOUNTINGS, VDNDETTA AT SPEED Flag This WallpaperAdd to FavoritesEnlarge Wallpaper Wallpaper Description: Advances in destroyer design in the United Kingdom during the mid to late 1940s resulted in the design of the Daring Class, originally described as light cruisers. The Australian built 'Daring' Class destroyers were similar to the Royal Navy vessels, but with modifications for Australian conditions.
The 'Darings' were designed and built as versatile, multi-purpose 'Gun Ships' with three separate weapon control systems to control the main and secondary armament. In the Naval Gunfire Support (NGS) mode for example, the main Gunnery Fire Control System was capable of providing very accurate and rapid fire to a range of nine nautical miles (18000 yards) in normal mode and in excess of ten nautical miles (20,000 yards) in extended range mode. At a rate of fire of 16 rounds per gun per minute, the Darings were capable of firing up to 100 x 4.5-inch shells per minute, with each standard high explosive shell weighing 56 lbs.
Four Darings were initially ordered for the Royal Australian Navy, although only three, Voyager (II), Vendetta and Vampire (II) were eventually completed. They were the first prefabricated all-welded ships to be built in Australia, and, between ordering and completion, the cost of each Daring increased from 2.6 million to 7 million Austr Pounds
