Allright, guidance radar critisisms: Your Rockhampton class. Why does it have the SPG-62 when it's also CEAFAR and CEAMOUNT equipped?

Likewise, your Castlemain class could do with (enlarged/trainable) versions of the CEAMOUNT instead of SPG-62. There's no reason to pick two completely different illumination systems for your air warfare ships, especially not on the same ship!

Yeh, that was in the back of my mind. The Rockhamptons and Castlemaines are being upgraded in the future and part of the upgrade will be the removal of the AN/SPG-62 mounts and the inclusion of CEAMOUNT units on the Castlemaine Class. The main reason I put the AN/SPG-62 mounts on the Rockhampton Class was as a redundancy measure. Looking back at that now, it maybe wasn't such a good idea.

Thanks for the feedback mate :)

Brisbane Class (IFAS Hobart) Museum Ship

IFAS Hobart was the only Brisbane Class Guided Missile Destroyer not to receive the major AAW upgrade it's sister ships got. This decision was based on the fact that there were too many mechanical issues that were not cost effective to retain her in service. Subsequently she was given a "spruice up" refit and gifted to the Australian Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour, Sydney.

Perhaps a blue Ikara (?), and any real and proper museum ship removes the screws so they can be admired topside :)

I am after some feedback please fellow pixelbashers. This is the first of my AU's Coast Guard Vessels, IFACGS Shackleton. She is based on the Macquarie Island Class of the IFAN and is primarily used as a command ship for Coast Guard OPVs and as a transport for asylum seekers (from people trafficking boats) by using embarked habitat modules (containers). She is also able to conduct patrols of Australias southern sovereign waters from the foot of Tasmania down to Antarctica.
