Nice design. But, I think the coastal variant is over-armed, and in the wrong way. It's basically a SAM barge.

This is less of a real-world design (although I welcome the feedback, and the point on the engines is v interesting and well-taken), more interested in the CONOPs and why ...
Hi! Long time follower here, only now have developed my first design; a kitbash of PierreDeveaux, Eswube and Deadright's awesome B-52 , into a fantasy B-52K for the UK Royal Air Force. I'll caveat that the fit-out might not be totally legit from an EM physics perspective - i.e. can you have all thos...
