Are GAU-17 7.62mm mini guns on the list for this sheet, ora gun CIWS one?

[Thiel]

At this scale it's indistinguishable from the 12.7mm HMG

Interesting. VLS seems entirely preserved. Laser subsystems housed in a hangar bay, maybe? Certainly Burkes don't have a ton of spare volume back there (or anywhere else).

That's true about lack of space back there. I do notice that they put the laser turret near where the gas turbine generator exhaust is. So I wonder if in this concept they where looking at replacing the gas turbine generator with laser subsystems. I don't know how large the generator is back there though.

There are a couple of SAM missiles that I have seen around ship bucket that are not in any part sheets. And one of them looks like a small SM-3. I also heard of a SM-6.

Going by (slightly enlarged as with all SB missiles) scale and by appearance, this is the SM-6:

No, it is not. It's barely distinguishable from the 12.7mm, but slightly different. The 12.7mm is on the left, the M134 on the right.

It's about time someone took on that horrid SPS-49 radar that was used as a substitute for just about any radar back in the bad old days.

And I know just the guy.

I'm excited to see what you come up with. From my point of view, the problem was mostly that SPS-49 was used to represent every other radar in Christendom. The SPS-49 drawing, when used to represent SPS-49, is not too terrible. But I'm still watching with great interest.

Not too terrible?

Gaze upon my works ye mighty, and despair:



YES, there's supposed to be two sides to it. On the left side of the frame runs the waveguide that feeds the emitter horn. The small antenna underneath the emitter horn is an IFF antenna, and might not be present on all units.

So, comments?

[heuhen]

Thats ...different!

[MihoshiK]

Minor correction.

Awesome ! I love it ! I was trying to do a new SPS-49 but your new model is better than mine. Do you will doing the other versions ? See here:http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/SPS-49
