Tri-ang Minic 1/1200 RO5 HMS Invincible Carrier Diecast Model (P700-RO5)

Tri-ang Minic Ships die-cast model of the Invincible Class Carriers that were commissioned by the Royal Navy in the early 1980's. These ships were originally intended to be escort carriers to complement the CVA Fleet Carrier planned in the 1960's however, after the fleet carrier replacement was cancelled, the design of the Invincibles was modified to provide a "through deck" helicopter cruiser and then finally a small aircraft carrier, utilising the Sea Harrier. The need for aircraft carriers was the subject of political controversy in the 1970's and 1980's and these ships were always in danger of being mothballed. In fact the sale of HMS Invincible to Australia was only cancelled because of the Falklands War which proved the requirement for ships of this type. All are fitted with an angled "ski jump" to enable the Harrier aircraft to take off with a full load of fuel and ammunition. The first two ships, HMS Invincible and HMS Illustrious, were built with 7 degree angled ski jumps, that were increased to 13 degrees during subsequent refits, while HMS Ark Royal was built with a 12 degree ski jump.

Tri-ang Minic 1/1200 RN L15 HMS Bulwark Assault Ship Model (P710-L15)

These ships were designed to replace the existing LPD (Landing Platform Dock) ships HMS Fearless and HMS Intrepid. The ships are similar in configuration to HMS Fearless with a well dock and stern gate as well as side access. They have landing spots for two helicopters and are capable of operating both the Merlin EH 101 and Chinook helicopter. The ships can operate 4 LCU Mk 10 Landing Craft or 2 LCAC docking modules as well as 4 LCVP Mk 5 Landing Craft, which are carried on davits. They have large combined operations rooms with substantial Command & Control facilities and are capable of carrying 710 troops and 67 vehicles in an overload condition.

Tri-ang Minic 1/1200 F86 RN Type 22 Batch 3 Frigate Model HMS Cumberland (P720-F86)

The Type 22 frigates were designed principally as anti-submarine warfare vessels, to replace the aging Leander Class frigates, but the large ocean going ships were also fitted out to undertake general purpose operations.?  The following the Royal Navy convention of naming frigates in alphabetical sequence the first eight Type 22 ships were given names starting with the letter A and the Batch 3 ships were given names starting with the letter 'C'. While the Type 22 shared the same basic hull design as the Leander Class ships it also shared features with the Type 42 destroyers such as the same power plants and auxiliary machinery. However, despite the similarities, the Type 22 also heralded many firsts for the Royal Navy such as being the first warships completed to a metric specification and the first warships to not be fitted with a main gun although after the lessons of the Falklands War the Batch 3 ships were fitted with a 4.5 inch main gun. In terms of weaponry these vessels were more than capable of general-purpose operations: air defence was provided by the Sea Wolf missile, while four exocet launchers provided defence against surface threats. The Ikara missile, which had been fitted on some Leander Class Frigates, was rejected in favour of anti-submarine torpedo tubes. The Batch 3 ships are armed with the McDonnell Douglas Harpoon surface-to-surface missile system, for anti-ship operations, the British Aerospace Sea Wolf surface-to-air missile system, for anti-aircraft and anti-missile defence, and two triple Stingray torpedo launchers. In addition, as noted, they are also equipped with a Vickers 4.5 inch gun for Naval Gunfire Support (NSG), as well as a Goalkeeper 30 mm CIWS and 2 DES/MSI 30 mm anti-aircraft weapons and a variety of countermeasures. The Batch 3 ships are fitted with a flight deck capable of supporting the Sea King HAS 5 or the Merlin EH101 helicopter although each ship normally carries a Westland Lynx helicopter for anti-submarine warfare. They are also capable of acting as command ships for a Flag Officer and his staff. Batch 3 ships are powered by two Rolls-Royce Tyne gas turbines which provide a cruising speed of 18 knots. In addition they are equipped with two Rolls-Royce Spey gas turbines which allow the ship to "sprint" at up to 30 knots for short periods. The Type 22 frigates have served with distinction for many years from the Falklands War in 1982 through to the Gulf War in 1991, when HMS London led the British Task Force, and continue to provide a vital contribution today.

Tri-ang Minic 1/1200 F234 RN Type 23 Frigate HMS Iron Duke (P730-F234)

When originally designed in 1980 to replace the Leander and Broadsword Class ships the Type 23 Frigate was intended to be a simple and relatively inexpensive ship, with minimal armament, which would be supported by new generation Royal Fleet Auxiliaries that would provide hanger, repair and maintenance facilities for the frigate s helicopter as well as area defence with a Seawolf missile system. As a result of changing operational requirements the ship was redesigned to operate the Sea King and Merlin helicopters while its armament was enhanced by installation of Seawolf and Harpoon missile systems as well as two additional torpedo tubes and the replacement of the OTO Melera 76mm gun with the more powerful Vickers 4.5 inch gun. These design changes resulted in a more sophisticated, larger and therefore more expensive ship. The Type 23 Frigates are powered by Combined Diesel, Electric and Gas Turbine Engines (CODLAG) with the gas turbines being used for cruising while the electric motors allow for virtually silent running when performing anti-submarine duties. To further reduce the noise signature of the vessels the engines are fitted above the waterline and the propellers have small holes around the edges. The ships are designed to be "stealthy" with the hull having rounded edges and all vertical surfaces having a slope of 7 to reduce the radar signature of the vessel while the funnels are fitted with cooling devices to reduce the heat signature.

Tri-ang Minic 1/1200 F235 RN Type 23 Frigate HMS Monmouth (P730-F235)

Tri-ang Minic 1/1200 D88 RN Type 42 Batch 2 Destroyer HMS Glasgow (P745-D88)

The Type 42 destroyers were designed principally to provide air defence for a task force, replacing the County Class destroyers, which were becoming increasingly expensive to operate, but they are also utilised to engage surface and anti-submarine targets. All the ships were named after large British cities, commemorating many of the Town Class cruisers that fought with such distinction in the Second World War. The ships are armed with the British Aerospace Sea Dart surface-to-air missile system, for defence against both aircraft and missiles, as well as being equipped with a Vickers 4.5 inch gun and anti-submarine torpedo tubes. In addition, as a result of experience in the Falklands War, the ships are also fitted with 20 mm Phalanx CIWS and chaff decoys for close range defence. Each ship carries a Lynx helicopter, which extends the range of the ship s radar systems, and, armed with the Sea Skua missile, is also the ship's principle anti-submarine weapon. The Type 42 destroyers are fitted with controllable pitch propellers and are powered by two Rolls-Royce Tyne Engines, which provide a cruising speed of 18 knots. In addition they are equipped with two Rolls-Royce Olympus engines, which allow the ship to "sprint" at up to 29 knots for short periods.

Tri-ang Minic 1/1200 RN HMS Penzance Sandown Classic Mine Hunter & HMS Brockleslby Hunt Class Minesweeper Twin Pack (S760-M106-M33)

The Sandown Class Mine Hunters were ordered as a simple cost effective "Single Role Mine Hunter" to complement the Hunt Class MCMV. These vessels are designed for deep water and ocean operations unlike the Hunt Class, which were designed for coastal and shallow water areas. Like the Hunt Class they are constructed of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) to reduce the magnetic signature of the vessel whilst being strong enough to withstand shock from explosions. These vessels are not minesweepers and therefore do not destroy mines by sweeping with towed wire sweeps. They do have Clearance Divers on board to destroy mines identified by the sophisticated sonar and also carry two small-unmanned submersible, known as the Remote Control Mine Disposal System (RCMDS), which can destroy underwater mines using explosives.

These vessels are designed for deep water and ocean operations unlike the Hunt Class, which were designed for coastal and shallow water areas. Like the Hunt Class they are constructed of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) to reduce the magnetic signature of the vessel whilst being strong enough to withstand shock from explosions. These vessels are not minesweepers and therefore do not destroy mines by sweeping with towed wire sweeps. They do have Clearance Divers on board to destroy mines identified by the sophisticated sonar and also carry two small-unmanned submersible, known as the Remote Control Mine Disposal System (RCMDS), which can destroy underwater mines using explosives.

Tri-ang Minic 1/1200 RN Trafalgar & Vanguard Class Submarine Twin Pack (S790)

Tri-ang Minic 1/1200 RN Vanguard Class Submarine (P770)

The Vanguard Class Submarines were designed to deploy the Trident Missile system to replace the aging Resolution Class which deployed the Polaris Missile system, Britain's initial nuclear deterrent. The boats were based largely on the American Ohio Class the major difference being that the Vanguard Class was designed with 16 missile tubes instead of the 24 missile tubes of the Ohio Class boats. Twice as heavy and twenty metres longer the new Vanguard Class Submarines had many advantages over the Resolution Class including more space, with a fourth deck, and less crew due to increased automation. They also have improved sonar and carry the Spearfish torpedo. The development of the Trident Missile system received much interest from Russian intelligence and in what was dubbed "The Hunt for Red December" Russian submarines trying to monitor Vanguard's sea trials in December 1993 were chased across the Norwegian Sea by British frigates and submarines. Upon embarking on her first operational patrol Vanguard was the subject of further Russian interest and it is rumoured that at least two Trafalgar Class submarines, one of which was HMS Torbay, escorted her as she left the Clyde approaches and headed into the open ocean. In 1993 it was announced that Devonport had won the contract to refit and refuel the four Vanguard Class Submarines, worth 5 billion. Since the announcement a large amount of money has been spent constructing the facilities needed for the refit including the conversion of a 90 year old battleship drydock into a modern earthquake proof refit complex. The four Vanguard Class Submarines are members of the 1st Submarine Squadron based at HM Naval Base Clyde.

The Vanguard Class can carry sixteen Trident II (D5) Missiles which have a range of 4,000 nautical miles (around 11,000km). Each missile is 13 metres long, weighs 60 tonnes and can carry up to twelve warheads each of which can be programmed to attack different targets. At any single time there is at least one Vanguard Class Submarine on deterrent patrol, its location a closely guarded secret known only by the senior officers onboard. Once they leave Faslane they submerge and do not resurface until they return.
