Those Dutch ships are top of line stuff certainly BMD capable and SM3

If you add those 4 for BMD and the 6 x Type 45 DDG for BMD that would give Europe 10 x BMD warships pretty much covering Eastern Europe and the Baltic and certainly North Sea most of it

If France goes BMD along with Italy with 2 x 2 Horizon class DDG then that's another 4 x BMD

If Spain adds BMD on the 5 AEGIS ships then they could also cover good portion of Mediterranean for a limited time

But I highly doubt that is going to happen

Only UK and Dutch are likely to take this route

To be honest I would have liked to have seen 12 x Type 45 all BMD or atleast 8 x BMD

That would cover North Sea and Atlantic simultaneously

2 x Type 45 in the East and 2 x Type 45 in the West out of the 8 x BMD operational could easily be done
