Thanks, I modified a sea dart a little for an anti-ship missile. There is a story arc for these and maybe another ship, so there is more to come. When I find the time.

They are slightly modified Patriot missile launcher from an old parts sheet, tilted straight up.

I'm writing this description in a journalism style: The Navy announced today the launching of the Shield, first of the new Scutum class destroyer as part of the Navy's 80 plan. The new guided missile destroyer is built around the new joint Army Navy Guardian Air Defense System. The GADS utilizes a p...

Let me ask this. What if you want to build a sub to carry strategic weapons, ballistic missiles or cruise missiles, and you just wanted something to sneak into range and sneak away? Or, hypothetically say I'm Colombia and I want to attack Chile, or at least maintain a credible deterrent threat. A bi...

With the new fuel cells and AIP is it possible to build a non-nuke sub in the 7,000+ ton range? I'm interested not only in longer endurance, bigger may not mean longer endurance, but greater weapon loads.

Alright, hopefully I've removed the fire hazard and went with the Mk48 mod 3s. Maybe not as aesthetic as I'd of liked but practical. Hopefully a versatile modern design.

Just playing around with another design. When looking at the original drawing and other new modern trimarans, thought about the possibility of the outriggers as great places for weapon launchers, then wasn't so sure. So I mounted some Mk.48 ESSM launchers on them just to try it out. As always lookin...
