okay! I have updated the drawing!

That's a substantial improvement from my point of view! Seeing this makes me realized I should finish some of my projects off

Now is the ship finish, so next is Destroyers!

okay a wip of a Destroyer prototype. This is designed as a test destroyer, how the missile destroyers built for only a single task will follow its design. it means they will lose ASW capacity eventually!

I am working with it to get a good gun control and radar setup as possible. But I can also draw AU radar.

Depht Charges in a modern ship?

Remember this is a very old ship, she is not built today. as I wrote the text, almost every thing that has with ASW will be removed, but I will only have a simple ASW system, or whatever Haram may have lying in stock!

yes i see but it's a little strange anyway but seems will be a good draw^^

The first class of ships that were built to carrying missiles were Dever class. Dever class destroyer was quite cramped, speed capabilities were limited to 26 knots when they had problems with the hull that could not stand the strain it had in the bow. the later ships in the class was extended by 7 meters and had a top speed risen to 29.5 knots without making changes to the machine! Of the upgraded version Haram built 35 vessels.

Haram sent all 35 ships to Vietnam to provide artillery support to U.S. forces, which they showed themselves to be really good at, with their missiles and 135mm twin cannon. in one of the artillery missions stood all 35 vessels up to provide artillery support as a large fleet, Dever class got the nickname "Strike one, strike two, strike ...!" by the Americans. The flagship during this operation was a ship of the Eagle-class cruiser, with its 280 mm and 155 mm frequently operated together with the USS New Jersey the same ship, she has operated together with under the Korean War.

This is one of the many proposals Haram navy got on how the new cruiser might look like:


The main reasons that Haram would not have it, are:
- Aft cannon disturb the flight deck.
- Aft gun has much smaller area it can cover.
- With two VLS front of the helicopter hangar, said the Haram navy is too heavy to be comfortable. Even if the ship could withstand much more than that.
- fire control.
- Concerned over that if she gets direct hits in the VLS front of the helicopter hangar they could cause an explosive explosion that can spread into the engine room.
- Take up too much space and makes the engine room cramped.
- No need for so many VLS at this time that these cruisers will operate in large fleets. (What does Haram navy mean by that?)
- would rather have a large range than short range



I will "occasionally" make alternative drawings of those ships I have drawn.
