Didn't know if it would be rude just to fill up his thread with my half baked take on the same ship (and I hope he thinks Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery )
My take on a frigate for the USN (AU built instead of the LCS's).
Gone with a slower and fat ship (for more space for my helicopters 2+2 drones).
May not fit strike length MK41 or full number of cells (and have added RGM 84's to it as well
![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
well they might fit ?).
Not sure on what to fit radar/etc wise gone with SPY-1F (please tell me why that will not work as I have no idea about radars, I wanted a small cheap one for a FFGX).
Fitted with 'pop' up Sea Ram and 30mm (How to show that ?)
Should I go to 1 screw to save cost ?
How to make the 'stealth' middle bit look nice ?
Edited with slightly better version.
