That looks much better.

Interesting stem shape, but a great design

The bottom ship is excellent. I really, really like that design.

The stern mainly came about with the need for boats, and the lack of space for them elsewhere. Hence a funny design. Anyway, now so many people like it, i'll work it into my front page. (check page 1 btw. It has write ups for everything.)

Been experimenting with a new aircraft design. Domestic built, it's based of the Tu-91, but has a jet engine and has lost its aft guns. It is supposed to be able to carry 1-2 torpedoes or 4000lb's of ordnancy. It's designed as a naval patrol and attack aircraft. Tell me what you think. Oh, there are two versions, but the only difference is the tail.

I'd of said keep the prop, more economical for patrol missions especially seeing as turbojets can be quite fuel thirsty things.

Would it be more useful and a plain ground attack plane?
Oh and I am using the older aircraft in the Emirates AF, but I was thinking of having this replace them in the future... Maybe I should keep them around then.

Okay so onwards and upwards as I seem to be keeping this alive ;)
This is the Hermia class, the predecessor to the Ingr class which is on the front page, after several refits. It's ooold, and needs replacing, hence the Ingr.

I should probably use some older guns really, but they'll do for now. It needs a lot of work (some stuff aft, detailing and such) but its here to see what people think of the basic design.
I think the superstructure has been built up as part of a refit, including a reconstruction of the bridge and mast. If I do an old version I'll cut it back. I don't know.
So yeah, thoughts?

will that torpedo tube fit? why an TT if you have no sonar? what is the role of this ship (FAC, ASW, escort?)

It will. It does on a similar sized vessel.
I'll be adding a dipping or towed sonar, rather than a fitted one. Probably.
The role I am think is escort/asw. The Emirates are very worried about submarines, so almost every ship will have some sort of ASW capability (normally TT's or ASW rockets).
