Shipbucket

here is the final form:



notable features:

double shaft (cba to draw it) driven by two turbines powered by boilers of a sort
bow and towed sonar
asroc
single helo hangar which can carry two or three DASH drones easily

i still cba to change to STIR though, it just doesnt look like the right sort

The Chinese people are not to be cowed by U.S. atomic blackmail. Our country has a population of 600 million and an area of 9.6 [million sq. km]. The United States cannot annihilate the Chinese nation with its small stack of atom bombs. Even if the U.S. atom bombs were so powerful that, when dropped on China, they would make a hole right through the earth, or even blow it up, that would hardly mean anything to the universe as a whole, though it might be a major event for the solar system.

the aft missile launcher is behind center of the ship, thus it should point the other way. (there are exception to that behind line rule, but that depend on where and how the superstructure is placed.

single shaft design i see. hm. engine. you going to have High and low pressure boiler powering a single turbine for moving the ship forward and one reversing engine that is 1/10 in hp compared to the man engine. turbine and boiler take up a lot of space. so I would move the aft launcher more back, changing space with the torpedo launcher.
