It's om the Mk 10. That's the RIM-50 the TYPHON-ER.
Th Mk 42 requires a much, muh larger crew, and was prone to breakdowns. If you want a gun for both AAA and Anti-surface, look at the Mk 65 and 66.

Thanks Thimothy

I apologize for coming to this late, but I noticed the foremast lacks the exhausts for the reactor compartment ventilation you see on all the D2G designs.

Heuhen, how about putting Phalanx there? Just a thought. This cruiser has beautiful lines

Why 4 SPQ-9A? I could see two, maybe. I think there is some general confusion that SPQ-9 cant "see" through the mast, as I've seen a few personal designs where more than one SPQ-9 is used because of this perceived problem. The mount on the Virginia worked good, although there was a little bit of a blind spot behind the ship, it wasn't bad enough to be worried about mounting another system to cover it. I think this is evident in the fact that, as far as I know, the USN never mounted two of these radars on a ship for this reason. I do think the radar would have been better served being mounted higher on the mast on the nuclear cruisers since it is primarily a surface search radar. I don't think the mast from the Spruance or Tyco's presented any kind a blind spot for this system, but I could be mistaken.

Anyway, I really like the overall platform of this cruiser and I look forward to future updates

PS, here is a conventional powered (alternate history) cruiser I'm working on from the same time period

If you have readed a little back in this topic you would notice that the SPQ-9A have been dropet.

but why many guidance... well how many launcher do I have compared to you'r. my cruiser would also work as an command ship...

An update: (what else was wrong...)

Why are you have Mk10?And so many machine guns?Otherwise,she is very good.If you want to use Mk10,you can put 2 (one front,one rear.version with 80 missiles).

The Mk10 is there because the Standard ER missile. that also was requested to be added. why not two set of them. because if I had placed one forward, I would lose both Mk26 GMLS. or I had to change to a single reactor. or conventional drive...

8 12.7mm machine guns is not to much when you think how big this ship is compared to that scrappy block of Arleigh Burk... and they was also build for a different era... But if we compare it to the Fridtjof Nansen class frigate... 6 x 12.7mm sea protector and if needed 2 x 20mm, with space for an CIWE aft. yrah right norway is crazy... so why did I shose 8 machine guns...

It's a well-executed drawing, but I can't claim that the design makes any sense whatsoever.
