I know of one or two more who are working on something.

And this is going to run for another month. I'm not worried.

I have an idea but unsure if I'll have the time to complete it as I have other non-SB projects on the go at the moment.

Regarding power requirements; what would be the likely size and power output of a steam powerplant required assuming use of the SPG-59? Or even a COSAG layout?

I know this may look like, uh, "backward progress", but this is the more carefully considered follow-on to my concept.

I spend most of my time fiddling with arrangements... once it's time to start deploying the fill tool, the process moves faster

Carida City class guided missile cruiser



As the second class of purpose-built missile cruisers, Carida-City was designed to replace the aging World War 2 era cruiser conversions as well as to test new missile systems. As launched she had the capability of attacking any target: homing torpedoes launched from onboard torpedo tubes or by helicopter, RIM-50 Typhons (as built) for downing air targets, autoloading 8" rifles for shore bombardment and dispatching of small surface targets, and RGM-62 anti-surface ballistic missiles.

Both members of the class inherited their names from previous cruisers, with the name ship being the 3rd to be named Carida City. Due to the costs associated with upgrading the class to use the AEGIS system, it was decided she would be scrapped in the late 90s in favour of building a new class of CGNs from the ground up.

Displacement - 16,000 tonnes
Speed - 32 knots
Range - 8000nm at 16 knots
Armament - 2x1 203mm/55
4x1 12.7mm
4x1 Mk12 with RGM-62 SSMs
3x1 20mm CIWS
2x2 Mk10 with RIM-50 Typhon SAMs
3x2 324mm torpedoes

the jinzu class was a class of guided missile frigate designed in the mid 1970s, the class was designed to be a inexpensive general purpose escort vessels for carrier battle group, as well as to replace the myriad of older frigates and destroyers which had been performing these duties since the end of World War II.


Ordered: 21 September 1974
Laid down: 23 December 1975
Launched: 19 February 1977
Commissioned: 26 September 1978
Decommissioned: 3 February 1998
Struck: 29 February 2000
Fate: to be sunk as target ship
Status: sunk 2001

General characteristics

Displacement: 5,150 tons standard , 5,890 tons full load
Length: 149.3 m (490 ft)
Beam: 14.8 m (48 ft)
Draft: 7.3 m (24 ft)
Installed power: 2 x General Electric LM2500-30 gas turbines, generating 41,000 shp through a single shaft
Speed: 30 knots (34 mph; 55 km/h)

Armament: as commissioned 1978
1 × single TYPE 67 7cm/62 ( 76mm guns)
1 × single MK 13 Missile launcher
2 GWS-22 Seacat launchers

missiles carried:
RIM-55A Typhon MR Anti-aircraft missiler
Harpoon Anti-ship missiler/TYPE 83 Anti-ship missiler

Armament: as decommissioned 2017
1 × single TYPE 67 7cm/62 ( 76mm guns)
1 × single MK 13 Missile launcher
Sea Wolf 10-Cell vertical launch system


the Jinzu was commissioned on the 26th of September 1978, during her sea trials she was found to be in excellent Ocean Going vessel even in the harshest of conditions as well as her role being within the acceptable boundaries, from 1978 to 1980 a further 9 of her class would be commissioned, followed by a second batch of 14 beginning construction in 1979. in 1982 one of the ships from the class was selected for experimental modifications, Tenryu was fitted with the British Sea Wolf missile system and had her Mark 13 missing system removed and replace with a type 67 5 inch gun. In 1985 with the start of the South China Sea War the class was quickly put to the test in actual combat conditions, and the class proved to be a resilient one able to shrug off hits that to other ships would be fatal, however through the course of the 1 year conflict 8 of the class would be lost in combat.

after the end of the conflict in 1986 the remainder of the class was sent into dry dock for refit starting in 1987, this refit entail the removal of the obsolete SeaCat point defence missile system and the edition of the Sea Wolf missile system, as well as an upgrade to the radar equipment. Throughout the rest of the 20th century class didn't do anything remarkable, starting in 1998 decommissioning of the first batch of the class began with all of them being decommissioned by the year 2000, however the second batch remained in service for a bit longer just long enough to see another refit in the early to mid 2000s with the last one of them being decommissioned in 2017
