Post subject: | Re: Heuhen's Large surface combatant |
A little update: trying to specify what each face should do, roughly. erik-t might have a good suggestion what each faces capability should be, since this isn't my speciality. And perhaps if I should add something extra. Note: window in radar structure are for cameras, infrared, etc. (things that need line of sight) Change note: side view: - structure under forward 56mm guns have been changed a little, gonna work a little more on that, ot 100% happy with it yet. - aft radar is totally redone! - made more compact - removal of unnecessary structure - Streamlined some of the structure, to better airflow over the radar, to minimize possible turbulence behind structure over the helicopter deck, under certain weather condition. will also reduce fuel - usage at higher speed, due to better aerodynamic top view - aft radar totally remodeled... |

A little update:
Second update:trying to specify what each face should do, roughly. erik-t might have a good suggestion what each faces capability should be, since this isn't my speciality. And perhaps if I should add something extra. Note: window in radar structure are for cameras, infrared, etc. (things that need line of sight) Change note: side view: - structure under forward 56mm guns have been changed a little, gonna work a little more on that, ot 100% happy with it yet. - aft radar is totally redone! - made more compact - removal of unnecessary structure - Streamlined some of the structure, to better airflow over the radar, to minimize possible turbulence behind structure over the helicopter deck, under certain weather condition. will also reduce fuel - usage at higher speed, due to better aerodynamic top view - aft radar totally remodeled... https://i.imgur.com/De5OF5t.png Forward radar mast is redone: - made more compact, with same design as aft. To simplify mass production - New location for satcom, give it also a little better protection from random sea spray Funnel similar but with some small changes to make it fit in more. Center Weapon deck slightly changed: - raised 1 deck, help out with the layout a little and improve internal room, but with smaller radar structure the center of gravity is somewhat lowered - VLS is moved a little more aft - NSM launcher is moved aft and integrated into the ship (Need to add exhaust for NSM) Forward weapon deck: - due to some changes to the main superstructure I could move the VLS and "ready for" gun mount, more aft, thus making her less front heavy. To do list: - Railings - moving RHIB bay one deck up - perhaps add a 5" gun? - see if I can improve the aft deck layout... (do wonder how she would look like with a helicopter deck that is wider than the ship?) |

final version the 5" gun is low, the only time when the 5" will be used is in a gunfire support role or firing smart ammunition, every thing else is done by the 56mm guns wonder how the class would look like a clean warship |

Another excellent Heuhen design; big, brash and unique in every way. |

I think you missed the 2 x quad NSM launcher on the topview . also missing on the Caledonian post |

They are build into the structure.you see the hatch on the side of the structure, with two exhaust went to the side of it... I just forgot to put it a little lower. |

hm! how would that hull look like a ...cruiser of some sort? Early WIP!!! Since it's very early on, there is still things that will be changed around. But as it stand now: - Main structure is lower then on Rambiert class, due to flex deck is gone, altough the Hangar might have a little flexibility (the size of the hangar isn't set in stone yet) - Same radar as Rambiert class, but with bigger and more powerful main and secondary radar... (basically the have much bigger faces, around 10-15%) - Sort of a Hybrid propulsion & hotel power. (Note. engine in the drawing are stand in for Caledonia own engine, but they should be similar in output) (two large funnels) (Note! The powerplant might be adjusted, I might have overkill it a little... again , but big radar need power! and big and heavy hull need more power for carrier fleet speed, yeah overkill) powerplant: 4 main Gas-turbine, 4 backup diesel's and 4 Electric engine/generator that all can be driven individual or all together. Battery pack: for both propulsion (silent drive) or hotel-power Hotel: 3 Diesel generator + 2+(4 generator on main powerplant), that in addition to provide hotel power can also back up the propulsion - 1 x extended length VLS with 48 cell. Forward weapon deck - 1 x Standard length VLS with 64 cell. Midships weapon deck - Aft deck, 12 cell VLS for RAM Block 2 and NLOS-LS Quad pack and or Quadrupedal pack - 1 x 140 mm Naval gun on forward weapon deck (Wondering if I am going to give it capability to fire depth charge) (I'm considering going for a normal 127 mm (with the advantage of NATO-ammo)) - 2 (-more) X 56 mm DP - large active/passive bow sonar - Large hangar with space for medium and Heavy helicopter + UAV with full repair facility |

I love the ship, especially how it progresses. Keep up the good work! |
