The CIWS you use in last Peder Skram image,Thiel,is the ARIS VI.It eneterd service in 1992 with RHN after five years of tr.I made it using Phalanx frame with the gun from Goalkeeper,since ARIS VI has a six-barrel 30mm gun instead of 20mm as Phalanx.Of course I have not any problem for Denmark to use it,but please -if you decide to use it- write it properly in weapon list of your ship.

No it's not. It's a Phalanx Block 0

Time for something a little different.

The Sleipner class LCU was is based on the US Army's Runnymede class (LCU-2000)
It has been lengthened 12.5 ft in order to make it more sea worthy, accommodate larger engines and to reflect the higher standard of living on Danish vessels.
Since these are navy vessels they are fitted to better defend themselves. This includes Stinger Manpads, two 20mm guns, basic ECM (Not shown yet) and possibly some sort of countermeasure ala SeaGnat.
The class consists of eight vessels of which three are homeported in the Caribbean, two are stationed in Africa and the rest in Denmark. During the summer two units are deployed to Greenland. Their mission is primarily to transport army troops and naval ground personnel around.
During peacetime they're also tasked with helping civilian logistics, disaster relief and environmental protection. The latter is accomplished by using a container based system that deploys over the side.

Nice work Thiel, a good looking little workhorse.
Proof that AUs ain't all about big guns and 100,000 ton monsters. But instead logical and well-thought out ideas that look surprisingly real.

Thank you. The next ship is probably going to be an MTB. I'm tinkering with a timeline where the RDN starts building them in the mid twenties. It'll probably feature a fair bit of cooperation and/or espionage with the Germans. Oh and the turbocharged marine diesel makes an early appearance. And it's even based on a historical precedence.

Some of you might remember Psilander mentioned a Swedish cruiser project that looked eerily alike.

It took quite a bit of digging but finally I found it.

I didn't know Psilander had drawn it.

I thought I should mention that I've started a wiki about my AU.
It's still very basic, but feel free to peruse the ship list
