I have a feeling that Neorion would benefit from having the ducted fans placed higher and with larger rudders.
Besides, I have a feeling that the drawing looks bit austere.

Austere, as eveything in this AU. For me, the important thing is if a design can work. Then, with evolution second generarion of it will be better.

I edited Neorion with changes, the original design could be named "demostration model".

Edited in page 61 new missiles with history.

And the OPV variant of Conon Mk3 series, called Zeus Mk3 Class (based on Salamis Mk2). Differences from the frigates are in armament (1 X OTO Melara 76/62, 2 X OTO Breda Dardo, 2 X Remote Control Turrets with 20mm Oerlikon), lack of missiles and simplified CMS Osiris Mk3/HCG. Gun targeting is provided by a Signaal MW22 and a Lyncheus Mk2D E/O sensor. She features ESM as several other HCG patrol vessels and has also space in stern for one 12m fast anti-smuggling vessel, capable of 65+kn or a Tethis Mk1 USV. Two 9m RHIB with provision for a EPK60 LMG (lisenced FN MAG) are also carried, or one RHIB and one USV Defender MkV. Finally, the SADA UAV landing system added in 2012. Finally, these two vessels have the capability of refueling at sea.

Due to lighter weight and 56,000 hp from 2 RR Olympus TM3B, 680 Class are the fastest Conon ships, with top speed nearly 35 kn and 33 kn sustained. Although designed for East Med, the 680 Class proved very succesful in Indian Ocean participating to Atalanta Force since 2000 occasionally and from 2006 full time.

Names of the 680 Class OPVs comes from the two first commanders of HCG in midwar period. Their length classifie them among largest patrol vessels in world.

"AK" is the prefix of all Hellenic Coast Guard patrol boats, equivalent to "CG". In hellenics, Coast Guard ="Ακτοφυλακή".

Note that this is the complete hull form of Conon Mk3 and will pass to frigates also.

This is the last post in this AU, it will be relaunched again with the proper way. But since I need some texts from here, it will retained for some time.

I took all texts I needed from this thread, so it can be erased. Hellenic Kingdom will be relaunched in future properly, as a good AU should be.
