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?

Van Diemen Class Fast Combat Vessel

The Van Diemen Class is a large combat support trimaran and is capable of operating in multiple mission scenarios.

These vessels have a rear-loading ramp, capable of embarking most IFAA vehicles including the Abrams Tank as well as containerised mission modules.

There are currently 2 of the class in service with the IFAN:
IFAS Van Diemen (pictured) homeported Fleet Base North East, located at IFAS Moreton, Brisbane; and
IFAS Able Tasman homeported at Fleet Base West, located at IFAS Stirling, near Perth.

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.

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.

All fixed, refer to specifications.
