![]() Working closely with the US Navy, we have commenced an assessment phase to explore the options and costs associated with fitting T31 with Mk41. ![]() Speaking to Naval Technology, a Royal Navy spokesperson said: “The Mk41 vertical launching system will deliver surface launched strike operations against a full spectrum of targets. The answers to these questions will likely emerge from a new assessment phase being undertaken by UK stakeholders in the Type 31 programme and the US Navy to determine how the Mk41 could be integrated into the frigate and the potential financial implications. These factors could in turn influence the cost of build, at a time when manufacturer Babcock is in dispute with the UK Ministry of Defence over the profitability of the Type 31 programme. Were the Type 31 to get the NSM sets, what purpose would there be for the installation of the Mk41 VLS? Turning the question around, should the Type 31 frigates not receive the NSM, would the missiles instead be fitted to some or all of the eight Type 26 anti-submarine warfare frigates under construction, which will also feature the Mk41 VSL?Ī final, for now, question emerges regarding the prospect that the SeaCeptor air defence system is integrated into the Mk41, instead of the traditional mushroom farm arrangement as seen on the Type 23 frigates and Type 45 air defence destroyers. The announcement of the Mk41 integration raises a number of questions about the programme, which, although the design allows for the installation of the VLS, has been previously finalised to include just the SeaCeptor air-defence capability. Should the canister launched NSM be then removed from Type 23 frigates as they leave service and installed onto the Type 31, the vessel would be able to conduct the full range of anti-ship and anti-air operations, through the NSM and SepCeptor system respectively. The NSM will effectively replace the outgoing and obsolete Harpoon Block 1C. However, in November 2022 it was announced that the UK would acquire 11 ship sets of the Naval Strike Missile (NSM) from Kongsberg, offering a canister-launched anti-ship missile that would be equipped to the in-service Type 23 and Type 45 vessels. Perhaps the most compelling piece of evidence, however, is MultiVersus' first cinematic trailer for the game, which gives MultiVersus its (possible) DCAU origin story.The deliberately light kinetic surface attack options, and reuse of existing equipment ported over from the outgoing Type 23 frigates, was determined as the best way to keep the costs down and ensure each of the five frigates was able to be delivered at a cost of £250m per hull. The original skin, which featured in the MultiVersus open beta, when combined with Kevin Conroy's instantly recognizable voice acting as Bruce Wayne, makes an instantly compelling case for MultiVersus being DCAU canon. Thirdly, MultiVersus features a litany of cosmetic items from Batman: The Animated Series, most notably the original Batman costume from the show.

Secondly, MultiVersus features the Batcave as a playable location. Firstly, the Batman in MultiVersus is voiced by Kevin Conroy, the original voice actor who portrayed Bruce Wayne in Batman: The Animated Series. What stands out about this particular version of Batman are the various features in MultiVersus that are taken directly from Batman: The Animated Series. ![]() Batman is one of the easier characters to pick up, and the best in the Bruiser class in MultiVersus. ![]()
