A very good work on that Vosper. You're going, perhaps, to do real-life Libyan Dat Assawari (also Vosper Mk.7)? |

Love the idea behind the Sidewinder launcher. Reminds me of the Chaparral conversion Taiwan did to their old WW2 DDs. |

Nice to see the canvas, nothing like open-air training for sailors. Plus, you can have the ship's barbecues there. (Fondly remembering Thai barbecue). |
