Just an observation on my part but if it's part of an in service vessel then ignore my observation. The effects must decrease as the hull size scales up?
Otherwise it looks good! I see it as a fast patrol with frigate capabilities
I was just looking at the shaft and propeller, it seems to have a downward angle. Would this not result in the propulsion trying to lift the stern upwards and driving the bow downwards? My experience is limited to power trims on sport fishing boats but the results of trimming in and out would apply ...
Ok, so to try and instigate some interest and possibly 1 or 2 renderings I've provide a 3500 hull only (taking a note from TimothyC) which provides a good base for the design. Personally I believe the hull design should be lower in its profile as the transport capability of the Absalon seems to have...
What I'm looking for is what someone else thinks it should be. I didn't want to mention any specific ships so as not to pigeon hole everyone's thinking but yeah a (edit) hull which could be outfitted as either a Spruance or a Kidd.
Well the line between what is a frigate and what is a destroyer has blurred over time I imagine that when the idea for a single hulled / multiple rolled hull was devised those lines weren't quite as blurred. My take is essentially a destroyer will be more of a command, missile boat, anti air / ship ...
This thread is just me being curious as to what could be possible. I can't think of a better forum to ask the question. There's abundant knowledge and plenty of excellent artists which will make for some truly "possible" designs. There's nothing to be suspicious about, no ulterior motives etc. Besid...
With the announcement of Canada's National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy in October of 2011 there has been little speculation regarding what type and what capabilities the future combat ship will have. I'd like you to take this opportunity to get the conversations flowing by submitting a drawing...
