    Protean by Y-ARD (Australia)

    :) Very interesting article from Navy International April 1975 regarding a convertible warship design. Does anyone have access to further information, perhaps a larger and clearer drawing as per page 23 or 25? Enjoy and I look forward to any replies.

    Unbuilt Kockums Submarines: Early Type 471 (Collins Class) Proposals

    The IKL/HDW T.2000 was rated the highest on the initial tender submission but it would be wrong to say it was more developed than the winning Kockums T.471.

    Looking through an old Janes I found a drawing of an Australian DLG design similar to the British Type 42s. I gather it would have filled the same role as the later OH Perry class. Anyone got more info and drawings?
