mjau!

Let's put it this way, it's a very good looking cruiser design but the problem is Mk. 42 and Mk. 10 are already obsolete by late 1970s (I can understand why Mk. 10 is there though) Perhaps go for the 8 in Mk. 71? Also, why would they build such a large cruiser at that time without SPY-1?

I'm starting from almost scratch.


The main objective is an AAW Escort (super) cruiser with speed capability to follow any vessel it's have to escort, She should be an vessel that can take care of here self if she need to be traveling alone. It would of course have capacity in ASW and ASuW

I put it up now because:

- Where can I reduce where can I increase?
- How should the armament be placed for best use.
- shall I move the aft VLS to between both reactors, and move the aft reactor, hangar and helodeck more aft and create and large helo deck.
- Other ideas... she feel a bit tall for me
- replace the forward 76mm with CIWS

The basic silhuette looks familiar, but I can`t quite name the ship.

Seems like a cross between a Ticonderoga and Erik_t missile battleship/cruiser.

I did go for Tico... due to easy some of the work. but as TimothyC suggest I should go for the CGBL look.

For the Erik_t Battleship feel... well I was inspired by him. first I though that such ship need an escort but then I realized why not try to make an more compact version of that on exsisting technology, as perhaps an follow up design. or just an stand alone design...

Whit the drawing bellow as the base line, but just much bigger.




- My CGN going to have two Mk-41 VLS on the for-deck.
- SPY-1 etc.

but my mine question is that shall I go for and large hello deck that I have gone on the previuse WIP or shall I have just an standard size hello deck with medium helicopter, and have an Mk-41 VLS on the aft deck, perhaps two VLS aft. (one full size one small)?
Shall I have an superstructure between the two superstructure or shall I just drop it. It will be an open area due to those two reactors.


edit: BTW I have just did an copy and past from the CGBL to my drawing... look up to see the update in my previous post!

are the someone that have an nice looking RHIB. I am going for 4 RHIB on this CGN.
