Hm, Tim, considering the location and the fact that they appear angled to the front/back in the lineart, I think that's not a smaller set of intakes on the forward superstructure above the regular ones, but rather a location for chaff launchers.

Quite possibly.

One issue I am having is that the uptakes are just not big enough. I may add a second row below the current ones.

Overall its looking good. A very purposeful design that somehoe reminds me of those unbuilt early 1960s Soviet cruisers in overall appearance.

Nice work. I found out about the CGBL a few years ago and I've been fascinated with it ever since. One peculiar thing, though, not with your work, but the design itself. Why only three missile directors instead of four like the Ticos? It seems odd that the Navy would hamper a CG's capabilities in that way.

I'm presuming that the forward directors are side-by-side, just as they are on the Ticos themselves. It really does contrary to the idea of building built to Burke standards (something that Erik just said to me, and I happen to agree with it). I am looking at tracking down where the painting is so that a higher resolution image might someday make it online. Until then I'm stuck with what I've posted here (and on a couple of other forums).

Nice ship and good work. Should`t the Harpoon launchers face outwards, instead of inwards?

Best guess I have is that they cross fire across the bow.

The Navy started positioning the Harpoon tubes to fire across the opposite side they were mounted on so that the missiles' exhaust could be directed overboard. It made protecting the ship from the exhaust far easier.

looks great, apart from the aft funnel being the tallest, just my humble opinion.
