The Leander is a good choice. Everything the Company would need as a general purpose ship.
The Bofors ASW system adds a different flavour, although I'd favour the Limbo myself given the sonar suite matches its capabilities. I might be tempted though to move it slightly aft so its between the two forecastle breakers so its a bit drier in heavy seas.

I think its fine to show the two helicopter types like that.

I like her. I have an idea or two for the very late 20th and early 21s century ships if you would like to hear it.

Right. Strictly speaking the hovering helicopter indicates capability to land but no hanger, and the one on the flight deck indicates hanger capability; but with AU, I wouldn't think it would matter. :)
A Hood notes, it's acceptable to show a ship's second helicopter hovering, or to show a second type of helicopter that can be embarked as hovering*.

*This is however still somewhat rare - the preferred option for real ships is to simply have the ship shown at two different times (if such times can be distinguished), but that doesn't matter here. It's still a good drawing and a good implementation of the idea.

I like the Leander drawing, and BTW the Leander hull could dupport a second helicopter if you widen and lengthen the hangar. The last Leander class hull built by India had a Seaking helicopter embarked by lengthening the hangar and filight deck (they did not have the Limbo ASW mortar, and much like this ship above had the Bofors 14.75" ASW rocket launcher in the bows). also consider the fact that two South african destroyers were converted into a modified Type 16 frigates with a hangar which had room for two Wasp helicopters here, and this ships had only 26 feet beem as opposed to the Leander beam of 41 feet or the broad-beam Leander with 43 feet.

Did any countries lengthen their hangers excluding India?
The upgraded versions will be using larger helicopters like the AB204 and the Eurocopter Panther and I am gonna assume such helicopters will not fit in the hanger without the hanger being lengthened

well, the netherlands used westland lynx helicopters later on, which I assume would need some lengthening. I am not certain of that though.

Right, Leander part 2: The credits are correct this time :P

I actually really like the shifted rocket launcher. It looks cool.
The updated mast is... and updated mast :P not much to say. Good directors though.

So, how far into the modern day do we think we can push the Leanders? We have... three upgrades so far, but they need a bit of modification, that trojan is working on...

Depends on how hard you use them and how much money you're willing to sink into them. The Leanders themselves lasted surprisingly long and the contemporary Hamilton class is still clunking around.

Cool... Might push them into the 2000's if its cheaper than building replacement hulls.
APDAF, it's both. Ones a trading name, the other is a nickname. I use JC on the drawings because CBA to right the full thing...
