Can modern warships host the large diplomatic dinners once associated with carriers and battleships?
Short answerYes; Type 45 destroyers can use their hangars, while the Type 31 has even more adaptable connected space.
NotesA viewer asks whether modern destroyers can stage the large dinners once associated with capital ships. A Type 45 can use its hangar, while the Type 31 is better suited because a large flexible internal area can connect with the hangar to form a much bigger event space. The design detail matters because hosting dignitaries and sustaining personal relationships are practical parts of naval diplomacy rather than ceremonial extras.
