A possible RAN variant of the Type 24. The Mk41s use up a lot of the topweight allowance on this one. #CGI
First variant of the Type 24; what seems to have been the RN option, with GWS-25, Exocet MM40, 114mm and two Lynx in a large hangar. Looks quite mean with those missiles up front! #CGI
OK, calling this complete. RN Type 24 frigate, original MoD design. Shown with 4.5" gun, 4 x Exocet, 4 x double lightwight Sea Wolf with autoloaders & 2 x lightweight directors. 2 x twin 30mm guns, 2 x triple torpedo tubes and a flight deck capable of taking Sea King. #CGI
I couldn't let the day finish without reminding everyone of this really interesting study carried out by @nickbradbeer
OK, good enough. On to other projects. 3000t, 39 knots. 74.6MW advanced GT plant driving superconducting motors. Aluminium construction. 12 x large ASW/Antiship Missiles and space for 24 TEU sized combat system modules. 2 SH-60. #CGI
