Lord_James Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 I don’t have any photo’s or art, but I do have some info today! I was reading Norman Friedman’s “British destroyers and frigates: WW2 and beyond” and found an interesting passage. It appears that during the design stage of the Tribal class destroyers, it was seriously considered to have 5 twin 4.7inch (62 lb) guns in a Dido type arrangement (3 super firing forward, 2 aft), with a quad pompom and quad torpedo tube. This was dropped, for obvious reasons, as being over treaty weight (1,850 tons for destroyer leaders) and top heavy, but the reasoning behind the admiralty’s decision was that the bridge was too tall, and would make the ship easier to spot and hit.

Lord_James Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 It’s interesting to me that the US navy had experimented with designs for super long battleships as early as 1911-1912 (this particular one being from 1913, and 895 feet / 273 meters waterline length), yet kept going with the “armored football” of the South Carolina through Colorado classes.

Gauntlet Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Navy Unveils Next-Generation DDG(X) Warship Concept with Hypersonic Missiles, Lasers Source: https://news.usni.org/2022/01/12/navy-unveils-next-generation-ddgx-warship-concept-with-hypersonic-missiles-lasers "Notionally, the new ship could power up to 600-kilowatt lasers that would be powerful enough to interdict hostile guided missiles." "The current DDG-51s field 96 MK-41 VLS cells and USNI News understands that Navy requirements keep the VLS cells for DDG(X) about the same." "The SPY-6 air search radar could expand from a 14-foot aperture to an 18-foot aperture that would increase the sensitivity of the sensor. The Navy is also planning for a modular payload space for different future missions." Domus Acipenseris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_James Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 I got a new book recently: Russian and Soviet battleships Very informative, and well laid out. The chapter about the “1915 battleship projects” are the most wild so far, imagine a gangut with quad 16 inch turrets and 27 knot speed, and only 12 inch armor belt.
