frigate

I have finished some simple drawings of US destroyer designs from the 1960s and 1970s. The drawings are based on sketches and artist renderings found in Norman Friedman's book "US Destroyers An Illustrated Design History". I find the nuclear frigate design (Typhoon) very interesting. Fishjay

The UK Independence Party has a new deputy leader: Christopher Monckton. As is usual with such news the party has put his impressive CV up on their website: http://www.ukip.org/content/latest-news/1675-christopher-a-man-of-many-talents However, he claims that whilst a member of Margaret...

With the Future Surface Combatant finally progressing into a more formal design project to become the Type 26 firgate, there have been a number of CGI images and articles appearing in the press recently. This is a 4 year study with the first ships due to start building in 2016 and will form the...

Another 60s RN mystery ship is the Type 19 frigate. Although the published sources go into great detail about the development of the ship and even give an indication of the numbers to be built, the only drawings in Brown/Moore are of ships derived from the Type 19 design in the 1966 Working...

A thread to discuss Type 23 variants (Originally European / UK AAW projects that arose after the split in the Horizon project (I thought there already was a thread on this, but I couldn't find it), but changed to reflect actual content). Firstly, the "stretched" Type 23 proposed by Yarrow in...

I was reading about USS Long Beach (CGN-9). It stated that she was first laid out to be a smaller frigate, but expanded to a cruiser hull due to the ship being slated for the Regulus nuclear cruise missile and later, 4 launching tubes for the Polaris SLBM! Does anyone know if there are any...

I found a report and some artwork of the Team 1992 of the Naval Postgraduate School - Total Ship Systems Engineering on how an affordable future frigate for the US Navy might look like. They named the ship the Regional Deterence Ship (RDS). Web link to a paper written by Team 1992 of the Naval...

The Brazilian "Niteroi" class frigates started life as the Vosper Thorneycroft Mark 10 design in the late 1960s. Many years ago I was looking at a Vosper brochure and it contained a small artwork of a version of this ship armed with Seadart instead of the forward 4.5" gun. I have never been able...

This drawing appear to depict a BAE Systems design similar to the Lekiu class class built for Malaysia. Oddly, Jane's Defence Weekly mislabeled the same illustration as the DML F65, which obviously was a much larger concept, with a greatly different appearance. From the following Hungarian...

Today I found this on a Turkish website: from here: http://www.trmilitary.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=14059&start=0 What kind of project is it? Looks like a nice Type 23 follower.

The following webpage has quite a bit of information about alternate designs for the RN’s Type 19 CVA-01 escort frigate. The designs explore difference ASW configurations with ASROC, Ikara and Malafon. http://middle-watch.com/outtakes.htm

back in the early 1980's an alternative frigate hull design was put forwrad by a commercial ship designer, and attracted some support from BAe and other navel ship builders. The MOD ordered trails between the S90 and Type 23 (duke Class) ASW firigate. The Marime Technology Board's findins...

In earl-mid 1990's both Newport News and Ingalls designed export designs for Frigates. Orginally competing to meet a requirement by UAE. There is an artists impression in Janes defence weekly 15 January 1994 P24, that showed the Ingalls design...I have a veryu poor photo copy, does anyone have...

There have been various preliminary designs published for vessels from the 60s, 70s and 80s. I'm starting a new topic because it doesn't fit under the strike cruiser or NFR-90 ones. First up, an early DDG-51: Fig. 7 The most recent naval destroyer design, Arleigh Burke (DDG 51 Class). the...

(I wasn't sure if this should be included under the Horizon thread, as there were at least 8 projects between Type 42 and Type 45 in the UK alone, let alone any other nations, and Horizon was just one of those) (Note that the image is resized by the forum code and is actually 994 * 582...
