Damn that is one cool looking ship, probably pretty powerful too with all the abls and the heavy guns and all.

Why not ? just my ideas

- remove the bow 57mm ? what does it give you as arcs covered by forward guns anyway ? (or remove 2 of them and save even more weight ?)
- move the stern 152mm to forward superfiring ? better arcs as it cant fire directly backwards (towards radars) anyway and clears engines ?
- fit strike length VLS ? rather than box launchers ?
- full hull width hangar ? (may require changing rear 57mm guns)
- 2 funnels ? (or macks ?) or somehow fit unit BR/ER/BR/ER ?

Nice work. And as always it's good to see Your new works.

She is constructed just after the SSM paranoia of the Falklands and San Carlos waters. She is carries all those 57mm to be able to handle many incoming threats as both long range AA ship and a close quarter goalkeeper for the HVU and to protect herself when in a small SAG.
I know it is cramped, but I think she wouldn't do a gunnery battle when chased, The guns are primary for NGS and then broadsides are preféred.
Well, the board of admirality prefers the ABL, so the ship can carry more SAMs (I want that russian Slava look, bu there is no huge western SSMs similar to the Sandbox, som I fitted ABLs that is normaly hidden under the deck, only visible when raised for missile launch.
I good idea I will think of it....

I like it, something a little different from the ordinary and with a unique mix of styles that work together well.
