It was actually based on the Type 21 hull, quite a feat! But no takers

Also, Alex 'borrowed' our AU twin bofors, but in real life it would have been twin Breda's

Embarked on: HNLMS Karel Doorman A833
To do list:
-Zeven Provincien class cruiser
-Joint support ship all sides
-F124 Sachsen class frigate
-F125 Baden-Württemberg class frigate
-Clemencau class aircraft carrier
-Zeven provincien class frigate
-Poolster class AOR
-Amsterdam class AOR
-Minas Gerais aircraft carrier

A very odd little design. The later modular designs were certainly better even though they fared no better export wise.

Wow! I can actually remember seeing an artist's impression of this in a defence magazine when I was University round about 74/75. Why do people think none were ever built - too small for the big navies and too big for the little ones? Or is it just the low hit ratio of private designs?

Very nice Alex,how about a port side and plan view of the flight deck.

There were a number of designs on this general theme,some larger than Alex's ship.

Aircraft ordinance storage right in the bows. This ingenious idea cannot fail.

Fine drawing, of course, but balls-out inane.

Well it's better than it being say amidships where it could break the ship's back. At least if the bow blows off good compartmenting should save the boat... USS Minneapolis anyone?

True, but accidents are far more likely to happen in the first place out there.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

No it isn't. The bomb lift is amidships, so the magazines will be. The "Aircraft stores" are forward. That's spare parts.
