The Type 984s need more space to fully rotate (The forward one is blocked by the foremast, whilst the rearmost Type 984s aft arcs intersect with the LRS-1 Director.)

The previous criticisms about the main armament by the others still stand. I don't think there is enough space in the hull to support the aft-most turret, particularly where the keel steps up. I think the same may be true of A turret as well.

You are either going to have:
a) reduce the main armament to something that will fit on the hull you've drawn, or
b) scale up the hull so it can support the armament you currently have.

I think the superstructure (particularly aft) is much too large, and the funnels should be vertical rather than raked, and further apart, or alternatively, combined in to a single funnel. For examples of what to do with the superstructure, funnels and main armament, I suggest you look at the Cruisers of 1960, in particular Sketches I and IV.




Period specific boats and cranes can found on Derkjester's rendition of Design ZA http://www.shipbucket.com/forums/viewto ... =13&t=8312, and Hood's series of Guided Missile Cruisers http://www.shipbucket.com/forums/viewto ... =13&t=6281
I'm not sure if they are components (which you don't have to credit anyone for) or if they are bespoke for the individual drawings. I suggest asking the authors involved.

Real naval architects are pretty good at what they do, and they generally plan a hull and combat system that are compatible, with neither greatly in excess of the needs of the other.

If one thinks they can pack 50% or more equipment than the real thing (the Tigers had two 6" turrets!!!!!!), I think they should reflect very deeply on why they're so much more clever than the experts who did this professionally.

i dont tink im more clever and i was just tring to make a folo up on the minetaur classe

remember that the triple 6in turret that Minotaur class had, was lighter the the 6in twin turret you have on this drawing. and she had only 3 turret then 6 turrets!

I think they were referring to the 1947 clean sheet Minotaur design that followed on from Design Y (Neptune).

this one?

That is design ZA, a slightly smaller alternate design to the design which would have been constructed Design Z4C (also known as design D). Z4C would have been longer, and a major visual difference would be that the 3 forward turrets were arranged like the those of the Dido class, with two mounts being superfiring.

i mean the 1947 design that was not finish and later canseld they had 5 twin 6inch gun turrets
