Just because the ASROC launcher can use them. and there is always nice to have two/three missiles with long range-


her is the other version that have an Mk-13 GMLS instead for an Mk16 ASROC:

Oh wow, a nice ship.

Woweee!!! That's one Hell of a bucket, Henrik! That's one "must save" ship! Maybes one day I can nick it from you and use it too? I tell you, it's a beaut!

glad you all like it.

I hope you did also see the ASROC version.

Fantastic looking vessel! I'm stunned!

Ugly as sin, in a very beautiful way. It would be nice to further separate the two main air-search sets; right now, a single hit could plausibly disable both, and there is a blind spot right aft, which is bad since that's the arc covered by Mk 13.

Ideally, I could see the small air search radar furthest forward, then the mainmast with the comms and such, then the big dome radar aft. This would probably be hard to achieve, so instead I would trade the foremast and mainmast.

I can do that.

what about if we say the ship have an surplus in stability, thus we can lift the main radar a bit more up. we can compensate it by drop the speed acquirement some knots down from 35+++ knots. for the AAW version, while the ASW version keep it's speed capability.

My personal preference would be to raise the main search set about half a deck level, put (what is currently) the mainmast atop the radio shack just forward of the funnel, and move the (current) foremast to where the mainmast is currently.

Also, probably delete some of the satcom domes. I can't imagine why you'd need eight (!?) of the things on a ship of this pre-VLS era, which looks to be early 1980s.

something like this:

Almost exactly like that, except without the ASROC box launcher back there.

WTF? Why would anyone do that? Trade it with the Mk 29.
