Polymer hulls do make more sense these days, lighter and easy to produce. No corrosion, probably less radar signature.

When did navies start calling 6,050 ton vessels FF's anyhow?...This would be a CL in WWII terms. I guess it's the nature of the vessel, not the mass.

Diesel?...would have thought everyone was going gas turbine by now...probably something I'd have to look at.

Status: offline 		They have this new radar installed, it is not as powerfull as aegis, but comes pretty close. Combine this with a 140 mile range standard block 2 missile, and you have a exelent air defence "cruiser"

Haven't really been keeping up with recent naval designs and tech., and if the gun is so useless then why do we keep seeing these auto 127mm guns on the bow of ships. The only reason I can think of is if you need to put a small hole in a beach or run into a merchent ship that cut you off in a harbour.

Status: offline 		A "shot across the bow" gets a little expensive with a harpoon

Guns still have their use for shore bombardment and to ward of attacks from small and fast attack craft, or even air defence.........

Status: offline 		I always suspected that these weapons weren't all that great at AA unless they're integrated with radar systems. Do these guns traverse quicker than I think? Plus at the range of 5,000 yards I'm not sure you could even use a Harpoon...don't they have a safety range till they go active?

I didn't think that this vessel, being a command FF was gonna do simple interdiction missions by itself. I always look at these ships and think that the designers didn't know what to put on the bow so they stuck a token gun on it.

It all makes sense, I just felt like attacking gun lovers for once. I'm usually the guy defending the abilities of BB's from CV fanboys. Won't do it again, just doesn't feel right to me defending stand-off weaponry. Never did like the idea of destroying a target you never saw.

Somethings you should let the enemy find out the hard way. If you go through Janes and the like you should see this often at least that's what I remember seeing.

Naturally ships can go faster (in some cases alot faster). Then there's the emergency speed where you fry out the engines but you really haul a$$.

Not exactly "now", the Soviet Victor was faster than 30 knots and that was in the Sixties.

I heard a Victor could outrun a torpedo, dont know if its true or not, but thats pretty spiff if so.

They aren't engineering platforms that happen to have weapons like US ships, they are built from keel up with the weapons in mind. As for the speed, no one goes 30 knots anymore, it's too expensive!! Only the Nukes do those speeds consistantly.

Course going 42 knots is going to let the entire region know you're around so good news bad news.

Never saw anyone ride the wake of TR (except dolphins and they normally rode the bow wave)...might have made quite the picture.

Granted this was back in the late 1980s before all the terror attacks increased security. I bet you couldn't get within half a mile of one now.

No Victor could do 30 knots. And no way would it outrun a Mk-46, let alone a Mk-48 or Mk-50 torp. The Victor I was the fastest (and the noisiest) of the 3 Victor classes (VI, VII, VIII). Having had the opportunity to chase several of them in the P-3 flying days using SSQ-63 DICASS sonobuoys, I've seen them use every tactic in the book from evasive maneuvering to flank speed runs trying to break contact (funny what a submarine will do when it hears short-scale pinging from an active sonobuoy close aboard). They act like it's an attack mode or something!

The first Soviet sub to break 30 knots was the Alfa. The Akula, while not as fast as the LAs, can exceed 30 knots. The Sierra is slower than the Akula. The Severodvinsk SSN was after I retired so I never had a chance to fly on it.

I think I burned out on modern naval war cuz I haven't tinkered with any of the various harpoons in nearly a year. Sad but that happens from time to time, maybe one day I'll get sucked back into it.
