Description
AIRFIX - HMS Devonshire 1:600 Scale Plastic Model Battleship Kit - A03202V
A ship which represented the first of a new breed of vessel for the modern Royal Navy, HMS Devonshire (D02) was the first of the Navy's new County-class Destroyers, which were designed around the Sea slug surface to air missile system. A fleet defender designed to knock out high flying enemy aircraft before they could release their stand-off anti-shipping munitions, Devonshire was launched in June 1960 and commissioned in November 1962 and was the first vessel of her type to enter Royal Navy service and the first operational Royal Navy ship to fire the Sea slug missile. The missile was only used in action once and this was when HMS Antrim fired Sea slugs during the Falklands War, but it has to be said with somewhat disappointing results.
