I like the look of this welcome addition to the Royal Navy.
Obviously designed to 'handle' Exocets. The lesson of the Sheffield will have been well learned.

I thought the mission of a distroyer was to protect a carrier

It normally is but if an enemy is firing Exocets or similar, the anti missile system in the destroyer would be deployed. Don't forget, it may also be used to protect commercial shipping.
