Not bad, can you tell us about time frame of this ship ? |

Interesting. I have a feeling that it might be bit top-heavy, though. |

My best piece of advice here is to try and make a simple topview. I think you'll find that it's going to be extremely wide in order to accomodate that superstructure. |

drawing wise, it does not look too bad. I have a few comments though. - first of all, crediting. the bilge keel and underwater hull of the stern for example are from my HrMs holland drawing. I would like to see crediting for that. - the superstructure seems to be REALLY oversized. - the NSSM launcher exhausts on the I-mast radar when fired, which is not an good idea - why such an old (and, btw, heavy) gun on such an modern design? - the funnels look huge, but the beam you are going to need to keep this ship stable will mean you have a lot of resistance and thus a lot of engine power needed, so that makes some sense, in a way  I think that's it, but I think you will run into other problems when you fix the above points, so there is a lot of work to be done. it is not looking bad (my own first try was a lot worse) but won't work yet

My apoligies on the crediting, I mean in no way to discredit someone, will change it as soon as possible. -I will make an simple top-view to show you how I had the design in mind -will change the NSSM launcher to a better position -The gun is place-holder I will create my own, fictional gun. which will be more suited for the design Timeframe : 2013 - Near future (AU) Thanks for your opinions, and you will be seeing more from me! - with propers credits, once again my apoligies |

The aft part of the super structure looks to be all hanger but is over twice the hieght of the helo shown. Is there a design reason for this? If not maybe reduce it to save some weight and place the NSSM there? |

This is so the OPV can also take the merlin Helicopter, however I think I could move some stuff to make it fit better. |

Generally I'd say, that this shape of superstructure (and generally of all above the waterline) probably would work better if it was a catamaran.
