I see, it is indeed different then I thought it was.... but it looks very similar xD

Sorry for the lack of clarity Ace

Can anyone comment on the actual design, like things I need to do

Below I present you the Ocean Class CV, as it looked when it entered service in 2007.
t
Design work started in 2000 when the Malpusian Navy launched a RFPs for a new carrier to replace the 2 existing CVAs and 2 CVs. Swan Predator (See what I did there xD) responded with a single design that could operate in the CV, CVA and LHP roles. Selected as the winner in 2002 the first steal was cut in 2003 and launched in 2005. Completing sea trials in March 2007 she began to work up with her air group ready for her first deployment to the gulf in 2008. The air group below is what RMNS Ocean would have operated between 2007 and 2009 when aircraft began to be replaced under the Navy 2020 program.

The Ocean class is capable of operating up to 50 aircraft and the normal air groups are below:
CV:
18 F-14MN Tomcat
16 F/A-19 Tonka
4 E-13 Shackleton
2 KC-13 Belfast
4 MH-60 Fighthawk

CVA:
14 F-14MN
18 F/A-19
3 E-13
2 KC-13
6 ACV-23
6 MH-60

LPH:
8 F/A-52B Honey Badger
12 ACV-23
18 MH-60
6 CH-53
4 WAH-64

The vessel is armed with:
3 Phalanx CIWS
3 30mm Multi-Role weapons
1 20 Cell VLS for VL Sea Guard and MRCAMM



I have used Blackbuck's Island's from his Atlanian CVF and modified them to fit on a modified CVF hull

Below are the aircraft used in detail:

1 - E-18 Shackleton:
The E-18 was developed from the Jetstream 41 for carrier AEW with the Erieye radar. 18 were originally ordered and 4 more were ordered to spread air frame hours

2 - KC-18 Belfast:
The Belfast was developed alongside the E-18 for COD. 9 were ordered (one for both E-18 and KC-18 pilot training) and another 3 are on order to spread air frame hours.

3 - ACV-23 Cote:
The ACV-23 is a military varient of the AW609. It was developed for special forces operations but has also added Maritime Patrol and Helicopter Escort to its roles. It can carry 8 Brimstone/Hellfire, 2 500lb bombs, 4 ASRAAM or a mixture of the 3. It can also carry up to 8 fully armed troops

4 - T-45D Peregrine.
The T-45D was deveopled from the Goshawk for carrier training and light strike. The air frame of the T-45 was mated with the radar from the Hawk 200 to give AMRAAM capability so it could be used as a surge aircraft if required.

5 - F-14MN Tomcat
The F-14MN is a development of the F-14M with a fly-by wire system and the ability to carry air to ground munitions. In 2006 it was decided to SLEP the aircraft to enable them to continue until at least 2025

6 - F/A-19D Tonka
Developed from the Tornado F.3 and GR.4 the F/A-19D replaced the Bucc on RMN carriers. It mates the attack systems from the GR.4 with the larger airframe of the F.3 and carrier modifications.

Any comments???

I would rotate the aft mast by 180 degrees so that it could look directly aft and it would compliment rather duplicate the coverage arcs of the forward mast.

Edit: I would also double check everything for pixel errors as Crazyhorse was a bit notorious for such things.

There are still pixel errors with the screw.

Do you know any good screws on ships that are better looking than this one?

Victoria Class CG:

During the mid 70's it was obvious that the yards would be unable to produce enough AAW/GP Destroyers as possible and therefore the 5 British Tiger Class vessels that had been built in Malpus were upgraded with state of the art systems to allow them to function until about 1990. They were mainly restricted to local taskings due to their propulsion system being so out dated and therefore were replaced by three ASW carriers between 1988-91

that is an interesting weapons fit..........
and an expensive one. I dont really see this being build, and if build I would think an better laid out version would be preferable (sea wolf on the hangar, for example)

My main thing with putting the Sea Wolf on the hanger would be the fact that you would need to rearrange the existing control point for the helo deck.
