How many Harpoons does a Type 45 have though? I could see details online of how many launchers they have but not how many missiles are actually carried.

All 13 type 23 frigates also come equipped with Harpoons. And the modern navy is so much faster than the 1918 Navy that firing their entire complement of missiles, retreating, and reloading is an option.
I would guess that they are too big to reload while at sea, so 8 on each ship.
