I second this. That really is a nice drawing. Is that a real design, or an AU?

Nice torpedo tubes as well. I think they will suit the Anghellis quite nicely. If I may ask, what are they called?

The ship is AU.

the torpedo tubes, I know not what it's called, but they are looking to have when you think about stealth. I think they are just designed as a kind of "standard design" and thus has no special name.

Here's an example of a ship that has them, a Frigate from my country (Norway):

It is hidden behind a hatch. You see this hatch in this picture, a deck down from from davits where the tap is, right above the No. 3 mark on the hull, just cm from where the hull is going over to superstructure. You must zoom in to be able to see it.

Ah, I see. Btw, did some research on the ship you sent me, the torpedo tubes are appearently called Sting Ray, produced by BAE.

(That's good, since I already have several British missiles.)

sting ray is the torpedo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sting_Ray_torpedo

Allright, it has torpedoes now. The more I compare this to AU ships done by others, the more I am starting to think my ship is underarmed and underdetailed. But I guess that will be fixed as soon as someone could please point out what more I need. (I wish there was some sort of list of all the stuff you need to have on a proper modern warship. That'd be most useful.)


Not sure if I mounted the tubes right. I knew the space amidships was already used by the reactors, the space at the back by the hangar, and the space below the bridge by the RHIB hangar, and since I also know the tubes can not be too far astern or too far aft this was the only place to leave them. Did I do that right?

Besides this, those four machine guns don't seem much, considering I saw a cruiser that was 75m smaller then this one but had 6 machine guns, 2 CIWS, 1 main gun and 2 more autocannons. And unlike the Anghellis that ship wasn't even meant to fight pirates. Should I upgrade my armarment?

well, every warship has an amount of small machineguns to be fitted. that doesn't means those are always there, and 2-4 automated MG's + 2 CIWS which can (IIRC) also attack ground targets, you should have plenty. you could of course add more, but I doubt those of much use.

torpedo tubes are placed after midships most of the time. often close to the hangar, so they can share the magazine with the helicopters.

if you are concerned about the weapons: you could change the arrangement so that you have an VLS or an gun aft of the helideck. that would require quite an redesign though, and IMO you should be fine with this setup.

As for more armarment, would a single millenium gun do? Or two?

you have goalkeepers and the hitroles covering the role of millenium guns.
