Re: Future ASW
If we could make A140 into credible ASW escort then I would cap type 26 and move to T4x straight away .

Re: Future ASW
what would it take for the A140 to become the fleet ASW escort ? Basically HMS, Captas4 and hull quieting. Could it be done for 400m ?

If Vigilant and Vengence were to be refueled would that allow more A boats to be built, 8,9 or maybe 10 ?

Re: Current & Future Amphibious Capability - General Discussion
Wherever we go in the future we can make it so expensive that it can't be risked or so few that a single loss means end of mission . Carriers can stand out to sea but amphibious ships need to get in close or closer and as such risk rises.

Re: Current & Future Escorts - General Discussion
Yes It's the interference from the politicians that causes the problems and allows companies to drive up costs and prices and reduce numbers and in army programs actually buy nothing . My other bugbear is paying for campaigns out of current budgets imagine if we had run WW2 that way. Our current pro...

Re: Current & Future Escorts - General Discussion
Agree with Gabi , a large hello deck and hanger is never a waste . Tag on a large mission bay underneath and that's the ideal stern for me . Build the rest similar to the venator 110 (120) that's the type31e for me . As a wannabe I would love a second Camm silo aft of the funnel, I am living in the ...

Re: Current & Future Amphibious Capability - General Discussion
We have all seen the adverts for the marines , I think this sort of thing is the future as I think the amphibious role will be taken by the strike brigades. What about 300 man raiding groups going forward and equipped for this role.
To be fair the marines have been the strike brigade in recent years.
