Is that OTO 76mm planned for the Province? Also, is that APAR similar to what is planned on the Province?

Thanks to all for the suggestions and corrections. I've made a lot of changes and think it's getting better.

No on the SM-3s. You don't have a large enough radar to provide guidance for them (why do people pull the boosters off of them for drawings anyway?). The same is roughly true for your SM-2ERs. The only use I see for such large SAMs and ABMs is if the ship receives launch instructions from another, more capable craft (such as those with APAR* or AEGIS).

Also If I assume that you are using Mk-41 VLS cells, you can quad-pack those ESSMs giving you 96 in the foreward VLS array. At that point you can cut that down by half, and carry 48 ESSM, 24 Nulka, and 24 RAM.

*What is the combat system that APAR uses anyway?

why have you removed the apar and smart-l?
for the top view: the I mast has the same instruments on the front and back.

also, use the new oto 76 I posted today. and colombimike: the real frigate plans speak over the use of APAR and SMART-L, so that wouldn't be such an bad choice at all.

Mike - there is no such thing as "Mini-AEGIS". AEGIS, as I am sure you are well aware, is the name for the suite of systems that are deployed. I think you are simply referring to the smaller SPY-1F arrays that integrate with the rest of the AEGIS Combat System.

Yep
Thanks for remember this

APAR and Smart-L are back, also some SAM reconfiguring. The wider hull was an attempt to accommodate sea-keeping in the North Atlantic.

I fail to see why you would have dedicated Cells for SM-3s and Tomahawks when you already have a Mk-41 VLS array forward.
