Marvelous design but i have one small item to point out, you have an machine gun post near the aft funnel, being an navy gunner's mate myself i find the position very difficult to hold due to the closeness of the exhaust, some residue will fall on the gun and its operator, he is also liable to be radiated by the fire director on the helo deck and the radiation of the CIWS, otherwise its an great design

That machine gun is mounted on the port side and the aft exhaust exits on the starboard side. I can see the dilemma though. Oh, and thanks for the feedback. This is my first AU so bear with me.

Nice, I was wondering when we would see this I really like the Rockhampton Class, but I imagine it would displace more than 3,600 tonnes. My only other concern is that there aren't enough Western Australian names

Thanks Rowdy, I am on leave so I have heaps of time to do some pixel bashing. Thanks for pointing out the error in the displacement. I was using one of my templates and forgot to change the displacement to 5,100 tonnes. All fixed
