Re: What-if info - Euronaval 2012
Lotsa goodies in there, thanks for sharing!!!
Seems France wants a conventional De Gaulle; interesting. Neat stealthy attack helo on the stern of that first DD/FF after the CV.
Nice to see the AEGIS LCS there too. Now when will we be getting ours?!
REALLY like that armed Salvage ship design. So detailed, I love it
Whose is it? Looks like Spain maybe.
Wish you could save the photos...stupid Flash....

Re: What-if info - Euronaval 2012
One of the (many) concepts shown that I like is the Patrol Frigate 4921.
http://www.defensemedianetwork.com/stor ... ationally/
I would lengthen the hull a bit to add more VLS cells and return some of the endurance sacrificed for the combat systems. I'd add a second LM-2500 to increase sprint speed and allow for two complete units of machinery.
If possible, I'd consider up-gunning to the OTO Melara 127mm lightweight and perhaps adding a 30-40mm (76mm might be a little over the top) gun on the fantail if the hull stretch allowed the Harpoons to be moved between the superstructure.
Poof. a US frigate to take the patrol/escort roles.
