I may be repeating what has been said by others, but my two comments would be that; I much prefer the arrangement with the NSM all forward as it means only a single area needs to be repainted each time one fires, and more practically the split arrangement is starting to crowd the boats and being cur...

Not sure if serious?

You know the radar and RESM are on the parts sheet, right?

300 tons of ice - about 6 inches if evenly spread. That seems about right (more depth if snow, obvs).

Interesting. Many modern warships have *significant* allowances for growth on both weight and stability, and one would expect these to be similar. I am unsurprised that Navantia did not initially appreciate just how much allowance needs to made for ice - I have some photos from an RN frigate during ...

The exact nature of the CAMM fit on T23 has changed over time. A paper presented to INEC a couple of years ago illustrated the massive flexibility of the very compact launcher, with split installations clagged on the sides of the hangar and even amidships. IMHO the most sensible - and most likely - ...

Hi, Very nice. I loves me some Type 23. :D The issue with a simple hull plug for T23 is that they are right on the limits of the length/depth ratio, so increasing the size but maintaining the proportions as you have done is a better idea. That said, this does seem to increase L/D from about 12.75 to...

Hi, STANFLEX modules for Exocet should be relatively trivial. AIUI the Harpoon modules just have the launcher control panel in the module and the Mk 141s on the deck plate. It's a standard interface panel between the module and the ships command system so an Exocet version would have Exocet control ...

Hi, The drawings were put on-line but now seem to have been taken down, which makes me wary of disseminating them further (it is possible they were not supposed to have been put up in the first place), and I'd like to stay friendly with the Vikings ;-) Paying more attention to the drawings they give...

Regarding a GT powered Iver Huitfeldt, I have the GA for Absalon and it wouldn't be impossible to design for larger uptakes (it's a bit tight around the boat bays though). The problem would probably be the machinery spaces themselves - I can't lay my hands on the dimensions for a Spey but I don't th...

I've not perceived the same solidity to the LCS requirements and I really don't know why that is. Were the USN using the LCS to replace existing assets like the Danes were or was this intended to fill a new role? Well that depends upon who you ask and at what point in LCS' troubled history you ask ...
