Great work on everything LEUT_East! Great quality top notch drawings!
One question I do have, though. How many troops can the OKA Troop Carrier transport?

Your forward Longsearch looks like it blocks part of the arc of your CEA-MOUNT. Also, you've got a Sea Sparrow there insteead of an ESSM.

Would you please not eat my gun...

Thanks MihoshiK, I have offset the forward Longsearch to starboard and changed to the correct ESSM.

Delightful drawing and, if it worked as drawn, rather more pleasing to my eye than the USN LCS.

Alas, 35 knots, of course, is just too slow

Very nice, only small quibble I have is the VLS on the drawing. From the looks of it, you have 3 blocks of Mk 41.

It's been a while since I had a browse through the forums, but I had a read through this thread last night. What an excellent project! There are so many nice details in your drawings and this is a very well thought out AU! Keep up the god work.
