Just scored an OOP Jim Shirley Arsenal Ship. While nicely molded and cleanly cast, it comes with no sensors and minimal secondary arms.
Here's a link to Naktario's build of several years ago: http://www.modellversium.de/galerie/14- ... ction.html. He's pursued some modifications.
Here's Blue Ridge Model's take on the same concept: http://www.modelwarships.com/reviews/sh ... eview.html.
Beyond the pros and cons of a ship this size in this role, how would you fit out her secondary armaments and sensor details to place the ship in current or near future service?

Hmmm
4 X Mk 46 advanced gun system in superfiring pairs fore and aft
4 X Sea RAM missile system
4 X Goalkeeper 30mm CIWS
AN/SPY-3 X band AESA radar
AN/SPS67(V)3 Surface Search Radar
AN/SPS-73(V)12 Surface Search Radar
AN/SPG-62 Fire Control Radar
(Basically the mast of an Burke class DDG)
