Backing off and assuming that's just a minesweeper-sized hull, it's probably on the outer edge of the possible. I'd drop the Goalkeeper for sure, move the NLOS VLS to where the 57mm was, and put a second Oto76 where the Goalkeeper and NLOS VLS were (or two 57mm instead).

57mm + 76mm would probably be better than two of either, but commonality is a big deal on a small ship, both for spare parts and for trained maintenance/repair personnel.

I'd strongly consider removing Harpoon in favor of something small (or just more NLOS) - what target, exactly, do you expect to kill with them? You're a nontraditional combatant in low-intensity warfare; I don't expect the OMG COMMIES ARE COMING.

For littoral ops I'd prefer a faster-to-launch RHIB, maybe two on either beam. It's a fat hull, after all - that's the only way you're fitting all this crap in the first place.

I'd probably use a smaller (S-band probably) air search radar, Sea Giraffe or similar, if indeed I fit something at all. WM20 is pretty functional. You're just too small to have a true area air surveillance set like SPS-49, and again you're not really going to be worried about air attack.

Hmm, I'm kinda surprised. I'd always thought that if you had one, that's all you need - one, since both guns have a very fast rate of fire. And unless you really do expect to go up against big ships, one will do as well as the other.


Actually, personally I'd rather see a Millennium Gun right where the 57 is, just because I have doubts about where that 57 is and I know the Millennium Gun has minimal deck penetration.

One is certainly more than enough for most tasks, sure. In the context of vosseij's "how much can I pack on" comment, though...

And honestly, if junkbusting is ALL YOU DO, all-around coverage and redundancy are nice things.

IIRC the 57 has a minimum of 1.8...

Source Materiel is always welcome.

The Harpoons are there to assault the larger surface ships, threat's comming from China or Iran are still best dealth with Harpoon
I'll see into erik_t's set-up later, thanks for the advice!
