Type 45 Destroyers may be fitted with Mk4 VLS
The Royal Navy is seeking to increase the number of ships fitted with Mk 41 vertical launch systems.
The Mk 41 Vertical Launching System is an American modular, below deck sited, missile launcher system that makes use of silos to launch and store missiles. The UK intends to use it on the Type 26 Frigate.

Re: RN Destroyers: Type 45 Daring Class
Type 45 PIP Programme
National Shipbuilding Strategy
Jeremy Quin The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence 12:42 pm, 10th March 2022
My right hon. Friend is absolutely right that the Type 45s are excellent bits of kit. They are one of our bits of equipment that I know our adversaries fear, and rightly so. The concern we always have is balancing operational requirements; as he knows, we have two Type 45s out on station at the moment, so we must make certain that we can bring those ships back in for their power improvement project upgrades. I can confirm that we are looking at ways to accelerate the PIP programme, and I recognise that it is important that we do so.
