I'm honestly wondering why you're using KGV's armament especially when you've got a reputation for good AU turrets.

Interesting But I'm not keen on the bridge arrangement; with the compass platform so low down and looking like its got a very restricted field of view; it would make more sense to have it higher up, where you've already got some light AA; and one reason for open platforms was to be able to spot incoming hostile aircraft and manouver accordingly.

It similar but not a copy of the KGV's armament.

1. and 2. spotting bridge layout, something Caledonia is testing.

Funny when you haven't draw anything for day's but then...

Build by Haram as mainly as a escort for a aircraft-carrier, but are also been used in other mission thanks to it very powerful radar. This 5 ships is the only ships in Caledonia Navy that can keep up with an aircraft-carrier in rough sea. this ships was the backbone together with Caledonia aircraft-Carrier in the Navy.

your last ship is nice, but I have a couple of questions: why four nuclear reactors? One is more than enough; every nuclear powered vessel, to my knowledge has had only a maximum of two, but most commonly one such plant. Also with a crew of betwix 450-800 your ship will be what's called manpower intensive. Maybe you'd like to recalculate those figures?

@ bezo: size matters. this ship for example would need about 4-6 LWNP's, or one single huge plant
the nimitz, kirov,CDG, CGN's all have 2 reactors, but the enterprise has 8!
or better said: it is just based on what type of plant, and I would even say that one is unconventional.
also, california and virginia, both comparable ships to this one, have about 600 crew......

edit: I tried to be smart and go for two large, with two small one as a booster. but I see I need at lees 4 reactors for my use.
Then I go for 600 with a max crew of about 750

Heuhen, I think maybe you're a little mad, no? But I must say, you are also one of the best at original designs - I simply love your ideas

i would like to see Aircraft Carriers soon.
