Okay, SO.
A few things i'll address.
-I'm coming from a Gun board where I've built High-Caliber Rifles and Tanks. My transition from Small arms to Naval might take a while to bear with me.
- I never said (I don't think) I was extending the Zumwalt's hull. I simply based the Super structure off the Zumwalt because of it's aesthetics. The hull is more based around Erik's Objective Global Warship.
-A non-related note: Project HARP is one of my favorite guns ever built...
Anyways, I felt like continuing this for my own personal amusement. this project was mainly for improving my Shipbucket-style drawings so I would prefer you comment On my drawing skills rather than the impracticality/impossibility of this boat. I have little knowledge in ship designing, but I hope my time here will increase that knowledge.
This is my layout drawing for the ship. The blue areas are which the ammo for the weapons are placed. The Red is the Hangar of which there will be space to store around 3 V-22-sized aircraft. The green is the general area of which the powerplant is going to be located. My plans for this boat are to have around 4 Cells for Tridents, 4 for Polaris, and around 128 for ABM's. The turrets that were once the 25" are now Missile Launchers, firing Interceptor missiles, as part of a Close-in Defense system. I'm also planning on adding another CIWS towards the Stern, after the Missile Turret. There's also going to be two Tomahawk Launchers, One on each Broadside infront of the 7" towards the Bow. I'm also kinda in the fuzz with these modern radars in the placement of them (Mainly the SPY-3) so i pretty much decided to create my own radar. Also, I would like to request some help on how to design the Props. I'm not very good with them so help could be appreciated.
And a related question to the props, I've seen on a few other ships, Fan-like vent looking things placed towards the bottom of the hull, are those props or something else?
