The Type 41 destroyer, also known as the Admiral class, is a class of ten guided missile destroyers built for the Royal Gallambrian Navy. The class is primarily designed for anti-aircraft and anti-missile warfare and is built around the Hawkeye combat system utilising the AN/SPY-103C(A) and AN/SPQ-42B radars. Six of the ships of the class were built by GAe Systems Maritime, and the remainder built by Mainwaring Trent and Olsen Kent. The first ship in the Admiral class, HMGS Livingstone, was launched on 4 April 2011 and commissioned on 29 September 2013.

It was originally planned that the Type 41 destroyers were to replace the Type 11 frigate, however with the planned introduction of the King Albert-class aircraft carriers, there was an observed need for a dedicated air defence platform for planned carrier strike groups.
