You probably wouldn't need separate launchers to fire the SCALPS... I believe the Mk41's can handle them.

He's probably referring to the Naval Strike Missile which is not Mk 41-compatible.

First post updated, substantial changes to various things. More to follow at some point.

The cruiser is a rather attractive drawing (aside from the sonar bulge, which I would redraw).

However it's dreadfully underpowered. You've probably got enough power generation (although I think the balance of turbine-to-diesel is maybe nonideal), but you won't be able to push more than maybe 50kshp through screws that small.

I'll look into the points mentioned. I've got an updated / alternate company drawing for the CG program too somewhere.

More silliness from me. Whilst debating with a friend about another friend's AU and the amount of S-300 and S-400 systems in his inventory it was decided that somewhere down the line I should of started looking at LO aicraft. Story goes that there was a specification for a stealthy fighter put out in 1995 by 1999 AAE had won the contract to build it under Project Revenant which had been started years earlier in cooperation with BAE, MBB (Then Eurocopter) and AAE. By 2009 the aircraft was undergoing FT&E by spring 2011 the aircraft had IOC and was type classified FA-127 Enfield by the Atlantian Air Ministry.
It fits somewhere between the F-22 and F-35 size wise. Name wise an Enfield is a heraldic beast with the head of a fox chest of a greyhound body of a lion claws of an eagle and hindquarters and tail of a wolf. A revenant is a returning spirit/ghost/ghoul.

Sweet looking fighter, though I prefer the concept version.

If it's close enough to cast a shadow, I think the flying house wins initiative.

Bronies are like the Forsworn. Everyone agrees that they are a problem but nobody wants to expend the energy rooting them out.

"That is a very graphic analogy which aids understanding wonderfully while being, strictly speaking, wrong in every possible way."

My only comment is the fact Enfield, after last night may not be the best name

Indeed. Though rather than the place this actually refers to the heraldic beast. Silly southerners rioting...
