are you sure those SPW-2's are redundant, as the missile cruisers had 2 as well, IIRC. or is it 2 per ship instead of 2 per launcher?
Bezo is right, i need 2 SPW2 for each launcher, aft i have two, but fore there are three.

In all cases, I'd exchange the forward SPS-30 with the above-bridge illuminator. Since the missiles rode beams in some fire control modes (all Talos on SPW-2, some Terrier on SPG-55), it's important that the directors be as close to the firing rails as possible. This improves the speed and certainty of the missile "capturing" the projected guidance beam.

Ok, here they are again both the full Talos and Talos/Terrier conversions, this time with all points revised.

As an extra a plan for BB-68 as a single-end Talos with macks inspired by a "Wayne Scarpaci" art (Link)

Very nice, although the second two drawings both have a forward SPW-2 for some reason.

On the double-ended Talos design, I would revert to the previous forward configuration, with both SPW-2 down near the missile rails. SPG-49 doesn't have to be super close to the launcher, but SPW-2 definitely does. The former configuration was somewhat superior.

Much better so.lution, BB! I agree with erik-t:s suggestion, I, unfortunately missed that one. Only one thing remains: you ought to set the forward SPW-2:s closer to their "parent units" of SPG-49:s, like you did aft. Also you didn't move the SPS-30 to the aft stack on your mixed version. I would do that; and quite possibly find a new place for the SPS-2 on your single-end version and move the SPS-30 to that platform. Mind you, though, the Little Rock, the only missile cruiser carrying the SPS-2, did not have the SPS-30 initially. Maybe you should delete the SPS-2 completely on your last version?!?

Amazing drawings BB1987! :D

Slightly OT, but what RL ship/s carried the SPS-2?
