only one problem: the bridge structure is now very beamy or very angled. I do not know if that was your intention?
other then that, this is one good looking ship!

Are you carrying one or two SeaCats aft?

one aft and one forward. do you think there would be room for a pair of them in that aft position?

Plenty. It was designed as a 1-1 replacement for the 4mm Bofors.
Oh and get rid of the liferafts and replace them with inflatable ones. They were invented during wwii, so they should be available.

Interesting design; but you are showing beam 3-in duals on what looks like sponsons? I would say that would be impossible for these guns as they required a huge amount of hull space for the magazines; if you compare with the actual HMS Tiger you'll get a better impression. Overall, the design is overloaded with guns and missiles.

the turrets are on the hull, the sponsons are for the crew to get around the bloody things. ;)

Right. I'm not sure that this still makes sense. Insisting on large sponsons to faciltate pedestrian passage? :shock: I mean, what is the overiding reason to install these large 'carbunkles', just to allow people to stroll around them! I'm assuming you're being ironic here :lol:

That said, I still stand by my initial assessment, that this is a seriously overloaded hull, that, while being an interesting concept, just doesn't fit together as a workable design :)

Having thought a bit more about it I have to agree with Bill.
I'd scrap the 40mm since it doesn't have a worthwhile firing arc anyway, remove the sponsoons since they're unnecessary and lastly I'd remove one set of 3"/70ies. The Tiger class only had three on a much fuller hull. I'd move the remaining set further aft to where the boats are now to even out the load a bit. The boats can be relocated to between the funnels.
Since you carry ASW helicopters you should consider a sonar.
Oh and I'm not sure the Type 992 radar was in service yet. In fact I'm fairly certain it wasn't.
