I think it more likely that an oto melara model is chosen, as every gun ever shown on the concept were oto 127 or enlarged oto 76 turrets

Nice drawing.



what I am wondering about now is: what if Norway accepted the British frigate design back in the days. how would the Norwegian frigate look like, heck how would the British frigate look like?

it doesn't belong in the never build section though, as pointed out in the earlier comments.

Well, until steel is cut, maybe it does? There have been a lot of design revisions, each one reasonably considered a "never-built".

true, but for example the main gun is out of production and none of the concepts show anything like it. the fact that it is included in this drawing makes me doubt it all.
if some reference can be shown for the placement and choice of the gun and other systems, and for the shape of the superstructure, I will take back my words on this, but until then, I see this as an own design based on the type 26.

Hello everybody!

OK, there is an issue here that the detail design is changing - a lot - and so each set of renderings or model must be seen as a stand-alone design. For example, the model has the US 127mm whereas the renderings (and most models) have used the Italian weapon. The model has a rounded stern whilst that rendering has a chine. The VLS position, EOFC position, EO/IRST type and position etc keep moving, etc etc etc.

There are a few guidelines that should always be the case (except when they aren't! ;-) ): Planform alignment: Sloped surfaces will be at the same angle whenever possible. Vents and intakes: There is a space behind them for an intake plenum, spray filtering, ATU etc, so those on the superstructure proper will tend to be tucked out of the way - see the funny shaped mission bay door on the rendering.
