Little something a through together. Since it was based off a Belknap hull I used that for a base.

A few minor remarks. - She looks very good overall, but I am not certain taking the Belknap directly as base would work: The reactors are considerably heavier then the belknaps powerplant, making her change in all dimensions. If you checked exactly what the changes were and modified these, I have said nothing  - you have left an old drawing of the SLQ-32 underneath the mainmast. - You should check some small details, such as the stairs next to the Mk 10 magazine (at the helideck corners), the bottom of the sides of the forward superstructure (under the phalanx) and the shape and position of the helideck railings. IIRC, the Mk 10 launcher on the Truxtun is also an horizontal loading one, without the dark grey support underneath the launcher - You missed some updated parts: The SPG-55 http://cizadlo.us/JScholtens/Public/parts/SPG-55.png , SQS-26, http://shipbucket.com/Parts%20Sheets/US ... ronics.png - you have drawn an anchor that I cannot find on the real ship. The hull knuckle on the bow, while present on the Belknap, was not on the truxtun as well....... Don't get me wrong, very nice work, but she is not yet finished

An excellent start! I am very excited -- I love the old USN missile frigates. |

Very cool, though I wouldn't use the Belknap as a base... the original drawing is sadly out of scale. Stretching the hull of another ship to approximate another is not a good idea, IMO. I would start from a set of blueprints of the Truxtun and work from there instead. Also, no need to include my name in the credit lines. |

Besides Colosseum should always go first on the credit line. |
