As far as the Group 3 (and possibly the group 2) destroyers go, room can probably be found by moving the Phalanx aft to the NSSM launcher position, and sticking the mast for the 3D radar immediately aft of the stack. This will provide better fields of fire for the Phalanx, provide a fairly decent lo...

The errant Snark was aimed at Ascension Island, but landed in Brazil. I think the problem was something besides not being able to see the stars. According to a source I found on the web (an always accurate and relivant source) above 45,000 feet cloud cover should not interfer with astronavigation s...

I'd discount studies 1 and 3, simply due to the role of battleships in the pre-WWII era. Simply put, their job is to fight other battleships. A battleship not designed for that task is a failure of a battleship, because it'll either be forced into that role, and bear a higher risk of being killed, o...

Love the cruiser designs, though they look like the first steps towards a Pagoda-mast.

It might not be quite as large of an aircraft as you were thinking, but VARIOUS might be a good concept for the UCAV. Rolling takeoff alone would probably be able to provide an increase in lift without requiring a catapult, and the concept includes fairly lowly loaded fans.

I thought the VLS Harpoon launch was simply something that would be done if someone paid for the work to be done, not something that had actually been tested. I think the ship does look cleaner without the Harpoons, and really, no OTH Harpoon shot has ever been done, in which case you're better off ...
