What a beautifully classic ship. I love the modern warships, but I am bedazzled by this era of ship. |

Nice Dido. Too bad they didn't serve for too long.
Thanks again chaps, and yes shipmate, they had limited lives due to wartime construction; plus, they really were too cramped for any realistic updating into the missile age. That said I think I've done a decent job on Novice's hull

Very nice you could as AU make her service last longer even fit her with Seacat |

Sure, and maybe upgrade the sensor fit and update the light aa. I'm not sure how good the 5.25-in would be in the strictly surface role, as I'd assume it would be too slow against low level fast aircraft. The Babur was in the Pakistan navy for quite a while, but I don't thing she was ever modernised. |

Thank you Bill for this excellent update. As a matter of fact I've toyed with the idea of SeaCat on this ship, for a long time, and this drawing have made me think it over. The result of my thoughts will be made public in the AU thread about the post war RN. |

This is a cracker Bill. The Dido's were good looking ships and all those post-war improvements didn't detract from that beauty. Alas ships like these were overtaken by newer technology (jet planes, stand-off missiles, atom bombs etc.) but they were fine ships while they lasted to fill the gap between the old school and newer missile-armed tincans that followed. |
