Ok, well, Im going to be honest. I am debating with myself over which one to choose. The super Power IoT or the Laid back Iot. Right now I am on the Laid Back Iot, whereas a few hours ago I was on the Superpower.

This may get confusing but bear with me here.

I feel that if I stick with the Laid Back Iot, then I feel that we have to rely on other countries to build our ships, and that makes me feel like I dont need to design my ships. If I stick with the superpower IoT, it feels like we HAVE TO build our own ships, and to design an entire Superpower's fleet is a little overwhelming for me.

But this doesnt matter anymore. I have it figured and I will post designs shortly.

BTW Thiel, thank you for all your help.

No problem. I always enjoy hitting people over the head with the "Stoopid Stick"

No Air Search Radar, plus I'd question that ship's stability/load out.

Right. Didnt think about the 1st one. I will post updates shortly.

What would be an older cannon and CIWS?

The Mast is like an I beam. The slots are for crosswind air flow.
There are 3 directors because there are 3 weapons systems.
I want a weapon at the stern. Any ideas?
How many people fit in one raft? That will help a bunch.

This is an old ship, circa 1970-1990. There is a Mk. 2, with more modern weapons systems.

The old 5"/54 doesn't have a stealth shield, and the original Phalanx didn't have a camera for manual guidance.

It's still tall as hell and incredibly massive.

Ah, must be the second gun that threw me off. You don't see that many guns on ships this size.

20-40mm gun, ASW torpedo tubes, AShM cannisters.

Usually 25, though the round ones come as small as 12 and as big as 60 I believe. That said, there's also rafts available that can take as many as 200 people.
