...This is a masterful drawing. I am not well-equipped to judge RN vessels from a technical standpoint, but from everything I know this is fabulous.

I think that's more reasonable. It's hard to know for sure unless you build the dang thing :)

Very attractive and well-executed drawings. From a design standpoint, I'd hesitate to locate the secondary rudders as you've done. Being so close to both screws would tempt the vibration demons, which are non-trivial to fend off even today.

I'm absolutely blown away by GD's offering. Dumbfounded.

I've been kicking around something like a Mitscher, personally, but I don't even know how to compete with that!

The Mark 56 was considered to be the best AA director of its time, and was only limited in that it had no rangefinger and rangekeeper for surface fire control.

It's hard to imagine a destroyer planning on taking two surface targets under fire simultaneously.

As a shuttle program vet, I'm very happy to see this drawing appear!!

I've seen it said that the IJN was nothing more or less than a hyper-advanced WW1 navy, and a heavy AA battery of 4x2 127mm would certainly agree.

Very nicely drawn.

It's certainly more detailed, but it's hard to say for sure (at least from where I sit) whether it's more accurate. The Navy has been frustratingly reluctant to share good photographs -- the last stuff posted to navy.mil (or on Navsource) dates to 12/2016!

I'm very excited for this, and had been contemplating starting something similar. I have some pondering to do :D
