This is my first upload to the Shipbucket Forum, even though I've been lurking a pretty long time on the forum. I would like to hear what you guys think about it.

The ship is basically a combination of the German F125 and the Danish Absalon class designs, emphasising AAW and land attack capability for an amphibious landing force.

2x NH-90
1x Fire Scout drone


BTW I'm not 100% sure about crediting some parts since the design progress went over a pretty long time. So If anyone sees a part he thinks I should credit, please tell me.

Is there a reason for the separated boat decks? If you put them side by side yiu can use one boat davit to revise both. Also since they are recessed into the hull maybe consider a sliding door or screed for both stealth and preservation.

Also, are those some sort of VLS cells forward of the forward 76mm? Additionally since you have VLS cells on the periphery of th aft part of the foc'sle is there enough space below decks for the cells given the curvature of the hull? EDIT: Nevermind on closer inspection those look like life rafts.

Very nice for a first attempt!

I'll leave it to others to advise on the specifics...

Yes, the look is certainly right, but I couldn't comment on the specs; so welcome aboard and we'll be looking forward to more

I'm no expert on technical issues, but the drawing looks nice. Welcome to the SB!

First, Welcome aboard. I think I've seen your work on dA before.
Second, I'm a bit confused with the hullform above the water line. Do you have a sketch of the bow or stern views that could make it a bit more clear?

This is really an outstanding first attempt in my opinion. Looking forward to more!

Welcome aboard.
I can't comment on the ship itself, not being knowledgeable about modern warships. Drawing looks fine to me.

You know, I honestly think this is straining what you can put on an F125 hull, especially such a large number of 76's which serve a dubious purpose on this vessel. At this point they'd probably be building a true destroyer hull. But that's not really that big of an issue.

Thanks for all your comments. I appreciate it.

@ TimothyC: I'm not really good at drawing perspectively and I'm not a ship expert so the front view is maybe a bit off but the rest should give a good impression of the design.
