Sigh. I feel like I'm going to be repeating myself. First, not sure you read this: THE DRAWING IS OBVIOUSLY INCOMPLETE, ALTHOUGH MOST MAJOR FEATURES ARE NOW PRESENT. Life nets around the helo are not a 'major feature'. It's art. While trying to adhere to design attributes as much as possible (eg the...

maybe there is an better way of showing it, but we will never get guns placed on the wrong positions again I have never felt Shipbucket itself should have educational responsibility to teach the kids some of the very basics of ship-engineering. I don't want to give them free pass, I want them to su...

At risk of belaboring the point, any universe in which a late-70s ship receives a major electronics refit is not subject to such minor historical points as when an elderly carrier was sinkex'd. If such systems are in the cards, then we're in a different world where money flows freely.

Colombiamike: Spruance fit 61/64 VLS cells in a much smaller space than is available here. Recall Tico went from Mk 26 Mod 1 (44 rounds) to a 61/64 cell VLS block. DG/Aegis was Mk 26 Mod 2 (64 rounds), and could be expected to have a commensurately larger VLS block replacement. I believe Timothy wen...

Cute little boat. Only one real question - if you've already got a MW20-series 'egg', why are you shipping a manned gun fire control system?

In the interest of keeping things small, I have usually indicated deck penetration on my own parts sheets with the fore and aft edges and a small number to indicate depth of pixels. This system could get awkward when we start dealing with heavy caliber turrets that penetrate three or four decks. I a...

I said this following the new style guide post, but it's better here. To the best of my knowledge, this shading guide does not (or should not) apply to submarine hulls. See Darthpanda's latest works for the state of the art for that special case of the shipbucket style.
