Off the top of my head I can't think of any ships built with SPG-60 alone, but designers frequently positioned SPG-60 and SPQ-9 so that one covered a bow arc and the other a stern arc. Some never-built sketches show only one or the other. Certainly it would have been possible to only include SPG-60.
Certainly well-drawn and attractive, and generally sensible I think. Three ASW thoughts. First, the little "doors" below the pilothouse are blow-out plates for an ASROC magazine. Since you have no ASROC forward, these are inappropriate ;). From a sensor point of view, I'd expect a (more modern versi...

I appreciate the attention to detail in the drop-down netting around the (presumably) 40mm, including mundane components like navigation lights and ESM omnis, shading on the 76mm, and the very nice SVTT (I assume this is a new parts sheet part I hadn't ...
The SLC's boat deck as arranged just wouldn't work structurally. It needs to be deepened, supported at mid-length, or simply removed (I'm not sure why it's necessary to have so much clear deck space below it).

A little bit further from the classical standard, but it's consistently-executed and I have trouble finding much fault. Every detail change is justifiable to me. I find the chaff launchers, RHIB arrangements, ...

The whole point of Shipbucket is that we adopt a similar style across drawings.
