Very nice. Suggested you look at the bronco type 55 destroyer. I saw one the other day at the mall. It looks like the design they r thinking about ..

Funny you say that, because you made me consider the possibilities of not the Tpe 55 but instead the Daring-class DDG
http://www.seaforces.org/marint/Royal- ... -class.htm

and fit it with 64 VLS instead of 48 and perhaps the AESR radar they�re looking at for new static and rotating radars. The bow gun could likely support upgrades and helo/small craft facilities are pretty good looking. :cool_2:

If they insisted on the hull dimensions, a DDG-51 propulsion plant could drive it to fleet speed.
