and complete with stanflex, top views and missiles.

Very nice work. However I'm pretty sure the Mk 56 you've shown is the 12-missile version. I can't measure the drawing right now (I'm at work), but the dimensions are:
12-missile LxWxH 366x271x465 cm
32-missile LxWxH 477x417x465 cm

[acelanceloet]

ah, indeed, 12 missile (see the top)
just an typo, will fix. I'll wait a few hours in case somebody comes up with anything else....?
the sizes you named for the 32 missile one fit the mod 2, btw....

[acelanceloet]

and now the final version of the mk 48. fixed the typo and the foot of the mk 56.

[erik_t]

The sizes matching makes some sense, as each Mod 2 cell should be able to dualpack ESSM...

[acelanceloet]

that is true, what I mean is: I have never heard of an 32 cell MK 56, are you sure it exists and if it exists, pics? I might have to draw it then, to complete this sheet

it might of course be that it is just the mod 2, with ESSM dualpacked in the standard canisters.

As far as I'm aware Denmark is the only Mod 3 user and we only use the 12 shot launcher

AN/SPS-67, so far as I know has not been done yet. SHown with both the old (SPS-10 style) and new bar antenna, also in top profile for the bar version.



ZR-3 work has finally started, mouse problems and a bit of a bout in the hospital with a heart condition.

[erik_t]

That's much improved from what we previously used to represent SPS-67. Nice work.

Old Hotchkiss 57mm gun (a.k.a 6-pounder) used in US Navy and later USCG before WW2.


Update: while I'm at it here's the 5"/51 Mk.13 gun used by USN till the 1920's and by US Coast guard later on.
