The primary role of the Type 42 destroyers was providing air
defense for the fleet. With their long-range sensors, the ships
could also act as radar pickets, sailing ahead of a task group. HMS
Southampton was the eighth ship of originally destined to be a
16-ship class, of which two have been exported to Argentina. The
type 42 comprised eight Batch 1 vessels, four Batch 2 and four
Batch 3 Stretched Type 42.
