The project completed this time is the Type 42 destroyer (Sheffield-class / Hércules-class), which served as an air defense destroyer for both the United Kingdom and Argentina. Developed to replace the canceled Type 82 air defense destroyers, it is also widely known as the destroyer that sank during the Falklands War. A total of 16 ships were built: 6 Batch 1s, 4 Batch 2s (early type), 4 Batch 3s (late type), and 2 for the Argentine Navy. They began decommissioning following the deployment of the Type 45 destroyers and were entirely retired by the summer of 2013.

As previously mentioned, Type 42 destroyers participated in the Falklands War. During the conflict, HMS Sheffield was sunk by an Exocet missile, while her sister ship HMS Coventry sank after being struck by three bombs. Argentina also operated two Type 42 destroyers, but they saw limited action as the entire Argentine fleet withdrew and took refuge in port due to the threat posed by British nuclear-powered submarines.

The 3D modeling process usually would have taken about a week, but running it as a speedrun allowed me to finish it in just 5 days. I rushed through it because university classes begin on September 1st, and I wanted to create or sell more models before that date. Of course, starting the semester does not mean I will be unable to use Blender.
