A little something I threw together as an exercise.This is my first attempt at drawing camouflage, so I'm especially interested in anything you might have to say about it, Armament consists of one Bofors 57mm Mk 3, four Saab RBS-15's and 12 ESSMs. So, critique away. Oh, and if you're going to do it ColombaMike style, post the picture as an attachment, since I wont be able to see it otherwise. |

Is this an Air Cushion vehicle, like an armed LCAC? |

Nope. Ground effect, similar, but not the same. It's a bit like a catamaran with an ACV strapped to its underbelly. It has many of the advantages of an ACV, though it isn't amphibious, however, due to the fact that the side hulls pierces the water, it's far more stable and can use more conventional (and efficient) means of propulsion. |

Well, here why I believe I have enough room for the ESSM. Attachment: Ground Effect FAC - Improved Stealth.png
As you can see, I have a lot of beam to play with.I followed your suggestion and integrated the launchers into the superstructure. It's main mission is ASuW. |

If you have such a large beam, and it's main role is ASuW, I would make the superstructure a little less wide, and add some more anti-ship missiles (four on each side). |

I'd like to, but the crew has to go somewhere too. And since what little space there is in the hull is given over to fuel, oil, water and ballast tanks, they have to bunk down in the superstructure. |

You could make the superstructure sorta hexagonal and have the launchers further towards the edges possibly with the outside of the enclosed launchers being flush with the rest of the hull below it? |

I think the 57 has a minimum deck penetration of 1.9m if you want anything more than the 120rds in the gun itself. You could get away with an electro-optical director for the 57 seeing as where this operates too me thinks. |
