Hmm. OK, thats definately something for me to consider, perhaps a small redesign of the bridge area.

I like it. It's very plane, but it isn't meant to be anything but. I think she would have done well in the ASW contest that was held (if I had to ballpark it, I'd say probably about a third of the way down).

Thanks. Still got a number of details to add, but I like to get the major stuff hammered down first before I go adding all the little bells-n-whistles. Might change out the RHIB for a regular boat I believe, at least for the "as built" version.

Once I finish this up, then I can get back to the CV Scylla.

Much better, but instead of carrying the second director all the way over there on the mast I'd put it on the roof of the missile magazine.
You'll have to move the magazine a bit further forward, since you'll need at least four meters between the launcher and the magazine in order to have enough room to reload the launcher. (3.6m for the missile plus about half a metre of swing room.) More would be better. Some sort of folding crane to get the missiles up there wouldn't go amiss either, though that could be solved equally well by installing a small elevator inside the hangar.

Also, aren't the 20mmm guns supposed to be mounted flush with the deck edge?
If so then I'd remove the railing in front of it.

Probably so. I'm not sure I am going to keep the 20's though, I'm actually kinda leaning towards swapping them out for the 30mm/75 GCM, once I can find a decent 'clean' drawing of them anyhow.

I was thinking having one up higher might give it a better sight line, and not interfere with the other one already above and forward of the reloads

How come I think this is a perfect candidate for the NATO ASW Challenge :lol:
There seems to be something wrong with the Mk.112 IMO.

Yes, it is sunk into the forecastle for some reason. Zephyr?

It forms a well. The actual deck is lower than the sides on the forecastle.
