Pretty nice! the only remark I really have is that the Mk 41 self defence length might be newer then this design, an Mk 48 launcher might be a better fit.

Seems like a sensible enough design. I think 32 knots is awfully optimistic on CODAD, though.

Thanks Sir! Changed it to 28 knots maximum speed

Thanks Sir! I actually preferred the Mk41 over the Mk48 launcher

Additional personal designs originally for an AU, two ASW corvette designs:

Mk.1 Coastal ASW Corvette


and the Mk.2 corvette


Cheers!

Very nice work sir

Thank you Sir!

Hey, another AU frigate! Hope you like it! Cheers

She is armed with one 76mm gun, 16-cells Mk.48 Mod. 2 VLS for RIM-7P Sea Sparrows, 2 x quad Harpoons, one Phalanx CIWS, and two triple torpedo tubes. Sensors include a MW-08 3D surveillance radar, DA-08 targeting/air search radar, two STIR 180 for the SAMs and the main gun, navigation radars, and a sonar. She is fitted with a helipad and hangar for Westland Lynx ASW helicopters.

This was a late-90s design for my AU.

Thanks in advance for any comments!
