I would indeed do so if I had half of them drawn I will however see what I can come up with.

First design for a while. Skua class OPV.

A 25kt diesel design intended for fisheries and oil rig protection duties as well as anti narcotics/smuggling in conjunction with coast guard and as such will see both coast guard and military helicopters and personnel on board.

Very good indeed.

Smart looking ship, almost like a Fremantle class buffed up.

Thanks for the kind words all.

Next up was going to originally be the Tromaer class MCMV but that has now somewhat evolved into a more utilitarian class of vessel. Whilst they lack the sweeping gear that the Tromaer was going to have they are able to fit various containerized solutions to various missions. They are expected to fulfil the mine hunting role as well as those of counter-narcotics and counter-piracy, disaster relief and amphibious support.

They draw ideas from the Black Swan proposal as well as from the previous Skua design. Still as you can see quite a heavy WIP but progress is being made. Installed power will be from four diesel generators delivering a total of 23.68MW for a top speed of around 25 knots

I like that concept, you have some great ideas Black' keep them coming.

That's a very odd stern. You'll probably be better of with a proper transom since that'll give you a whole lot more volume back aft to fit containers et all in. It's also significantly stronger you you're going to put boat ramps and such in it.

I'm just going on what the Black Swan concept laid out with that but I'm open to suggestions and as such will try it.

Yeah, I don't get that particular design decision either. A vertical or outwards tilting transom would give you much more deck space which is what this design is all about. In this case you could get room for a second set of containers without much work.
