The mounts in the drawing seem to indicate the presence of rocket flare racks. Has such an option been available and/or taken up by any Bofors 40mm user, particular for mountings that do not require deck penetration?

Re: FD AU 4
A book on the F-CK-1 I that have states that one of the potential adversary aircraft the Ching-Kuo was designed in mind is the F-16A, a possibility enabled due to "Sino-Soviet Split". I played with the idea a bit, figuring that the US might have also sent some export ordnance, to be replaced by ...

However, I did not come across the last details that I missed before the uploading took place: the Phalanx ...

Did they not upgrade her launcher to fire SM-2 by 2018? Nope. They only had CSIST studying the repair/replacement of the existing stock of SM-1MR's rocket motors since OEM support for the missile ends this year. They are so far placing all their bets on Project Zhen Hai (new GP frigates armed with ...

Re: USA - Oliver Hazard Perry Class Frigate
:oops: New Version HERE There are quite a few detailed differences between the O.H. Perry class and the Cheng Kung class frigates, but the most notable being the addition of two Bofors 350PX 40mm L70 guns as well as two quad AShM launchers (each initially carries four HF-2 missiles but later two HF ...
