of course I know the egg can guide NSSM: BUT the aft of the egg is blocked by the mast. guess where your launcher is?
you get what I mean
also, the egg can only guide OR your gun OR the NSSM, especially when their fields of fire are so different and it is by that that they most likely would need to engage different targets.
the perry has at least: (I name what you should have at each side)
- 1 small one for the prop shaft cooling (you have that one correct)
- 1 small one for the diesel generator
- 2 around the engine chamber, of which 1 might also serve for the gun cooling water
for your ship I would suggest:
- 1 small one between gun and mk 112
- 1/2 large ones near the engines
- 1 at the prop shaft (which you already have)
I would suggest some wavebreaker on the bow, at least to protect your weapons and equipment over there, if not some bulwarks.
look at my perry's and timothy's DG/AEGIS to see what the prearie masker looks like in it's 2 variants drawn in shipbucket
the single exhaust of the perry just aft of the mast was the exhaust of the diesel generator
EDIT: ow and indeed, SLQ-32 was only fitted on the spruances in 1980, and phalanx in 1995-90
