Almost finished, I returned to the SPS-48 as main search radar. Still using rails instead of VLS.
She will serve as a centerpice of small taskgroups sent to diffrent places around the world when carriers are needed elsewhere.

I'm not sure one funnel is going to cut it.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

I also think that it could carry more than 2 Helos

Excellent Not least (and newbies please note) a good sized hull not crammed with weapons etc. that wouldn't fit into the internal spaces.

Great, thanks for the comments
- The new SPS-48 will be there soon, I didn't found the new USN parts sheet!!, Great
- hmm...with CODAG machinery, do you need more funnels?, I think this is quite large for a modern warship.
- I always try to do my designs as realistic as possible, and do both springsharp and some volume calculations before I fit weapons etc on them.
- Yes, there can be four Lynx sized helicopters in the hangar or two large (seaking/ SeaKnight, If they fit to the now smaller pad)

Compare it to the Ticondaroga. Granted they are COGAG and not CODAG, but you're going to need a similar sized, if not larger, engine room, so unless you want to use most of your internal space on exhaust ducts you'll need a second funnel.

I think one funnel could be placed just aft of the superstructure and the main funnel made smaller and the ABLs moved further aft.

The russian Slava/ Moscow do only have one funnel though steamturbine powered.

Slava as pr.1164?
Is COGAG as was the pr.1134B that it closely follow on as desing wise.
