adenandy, Rhade, eswube, Hood : thank you, today is 1950s Destroyer

------------------------

UMS Alaungpaya was the first destroyer of myanmar navy, and the first vessel of Myanmar Naval Expansion Program (naval modernization program). Planning commission on 1956 but had many problems.



GW23 Class : Guided-Missile Destroyer

Displacement:4,180 tons full load
Length:123.2 m
Beam:14.1 m
Draft:5.9 m
Propulsion:
steam turbines 4×1,200 psi (8.3 MPa) Babcock & Wilcox boilers ,70,000 shp (52 MW)
2×shafts
Speed: 31.5 knots
Range: 4,500 nautical miles at 20 knots
Complement:15 officers, 308 enlisted

Sensors:
1xType 992 Surface and low level air search radar
1xType 960 Air search radar
1xDecca type 159B navigation radar
2xGWS-22 fire-control
1xType 901 Sea Slug fire-control
1xType 174 medium range seach sonar

Armament:
1×3in L/70 twin mounts
3×40mm L/70 twin mounts
1×Seaslug SAM launcher with 12 missiles
2 × Bidder ASW Homing torpedo twin tubes

-----------------------------------

From what I can see you have twin 3" and twin 40mm forward and twin 40mm aft, but I can only see 2 directors to control all 3. Should there be another director forward? In armament list is only 1 x 40mm - should forward mount be gone.

Good take on an UK armed Charles F Adams.

Base on Forrest Sherman class Destroyer

fwd gun director for twin 3" or twin 40mm, aft gun director for port side twin 40mm or starboard side twin 40mm.

I like it, a nice take on a British armed Sherman and its well done.
I'm not sure you need an MRS-3 for every mount if you don't intend engaging targets with all mounts simultaneously and on a destroyer some sacrifice is needed to save weight and space.
