Thanks gtb and Arnaud for your comments.

No my USN fleet is not complete. I still have to do more than 200 ships to complete my goal for a 600-ship navy

This is my current list of USN ships i want to build:

16x DML DDG-79
12x DML FFG-7
29x AFV FF-1052
03x JAG AOE-1
04x JAG AO-177
11x JAG LPD-4
04x JAG LSD-36
28x TTH LPD-17
01x TTH DDX
02x TTH LCS-2
10x RE/MAR OSPREY
01X PITROAD LPH-2
01x JAG WHEC-715
01x JAG WMEC-901

I also want to buy and build these when they ll be released:

07x Ships & Co AFS-1
07x Ships & Co AOR-1
12x Ships & Co LSD-41

I also want to built the following non USN ships:

02x DML ILLUSTRIOUS
01x HP CDG
02x PITROAD SLAVA
02x L'ARSENAL LAFAYETTE
02x RE/MAR ORIZONTE
02x NNT TYPE 123
04x WEM TYPE 23
04x WEM TYPE 45
02x HASEGAWA DDE-229
02x KYUKYUSHIKI MST-462
01x KYUKYUSHIKI ASR-403
01x KYUKYUSHIKI ASR-405
01x KYUKYUSHIKI TV-3508

My ultimate goal is to build a what if 600-ship USN, some allied ships in order to be able to form multinational battlegroups and several Soviet "enemy" naval assets.

Hmmm.. hard to say how much i spent on my USN fleet. An average of 15 euros per ship would give you the correct number on how much i spent on my fleet.

I order Pitroad models from Hobby Link Japan and the rest from Pacific front and WEM/NNT for models from European mnaufacturers.

I finally added PE nets also to the two Mashu class AOEs.
Here are some photos of AOE-425.

...and AOE-426.













As always any comments and questions are welcome.

That's intersting. I've heard about the meetings in Laupheim but couldn't find any homepage or actual dates for 2009, perhaps you have any information? I might consider driving down there myself if I find the time.

Laupheim meeting this year will take place on October 17th.

John and Heiko thank you for your comments.

The AOE's look good, I have to wonder - didn't you say you were going to fit them with some defensive weapons?

I will add defensive weapons. The design provides space for two Phallanx CIWS and i ll add some VLS launchers for ESSM.
