I'm not so keen on Norseman but Condingup looks absolutely delicious. I dare say there'll be an Exocet version soon??? Well done Rowdy.

Thank you both
@Trojan - please feel free to use it in your excellent AU if you wish
@BCRenown - I hadn't thought of doing an Exocet version simply because Recherche uses surface launched Sea Eagle instead, but now that you mention it I might just do a 'what-if' drawing with Exocet fitted...

EDIT: Done

What about a version like Chilean Helicopter Destroyers based on County?

Hmm, that could be a possibility - those conversions were what I partly based the training ship version on, but since the Condingups have no helicopter hangar to begin with it would require a fairly major restructure of the aft superstructure. I'll have a look at what I can come up with later tonight.

Very interesting.

Chunky, but I like it!

Rowdy,

Thanks for the Exocet version - she's a beauty.

Will this work for your helicopter destroyer, or is the helo deck too close (16 feet) to the waterline? I've lowered it to the level of the forecastle deck and rebuilt the stern.

No problems at all

Interesting conversion, it looks great! I can't see it being a feasible rebuild financially as pretty much the entire rear half of the ship would need a redesign but certainly as a purpose built half-sister it would be very cool

Rowdy,

I'm glad you at least like the look of her. One thing though, whenever I design or redesign warships I always use Monopoly money.
