Fleet proposes a ship derived from an existing hull with as many vertical-launch cells as practical, linked to other Royal Navy ships to increase magazine depth. He explicitly presents this as speculation without supporting evidence for an actual programme. Clarke responds by describing Type 91, Type 92 and Type 93 concepts as uncrewed missile-carrying sloops. The shared purpose is to give the fleet more missiles while using targeting information from other ships. The exchange leaves the detailed designs and procurement status unspecified.
