Arleigh Burke Flight III

[Karle94]

Point out the flaws if you may. I want to sleep well knowing I have done a good job.

In spite of the few minor issues noted, I think it's a really good drawing. Any plans on doing a version with the AGS-Lite gun?

[Karle94]

Don`t know if there are any plans to mount it on the ship. It is easily done if there are interests for it.

she is shown on an DDG-51 class.... not necesarely an fligth 3 though. these projects seem to be completely independent from each other.
I would really like an belowdeck part of it if you are at it though (as the system needs to be new drawn, you can't even use the regular AGS as all it shares is the barrel and that should be shown at zero elevation here)

[Karle94]

I can give it a shot.

I took some freedom and edited myself, as that was easier then pointing you to the very subtle changes to make.

I've left the boats and anything aft of the mainmast to you though, as, as I said, there are no references good enough to make anything definite on that.
note the mast copied from vossiejs drawing and the new gun as well.
flaglines and some details on the structure (emergency gear, I suppose, just next to the satcoms on top of the bridge, for example) and you should recheck the railings and mast on some points..... but IMO this is more like it.

Here is the Flight III with the AGS Lite:



Here is the AGS Lite itself with below deck portion:



It looks horrible, but it was the best I could do based on the images provided.

the turret looks off.... so does the gun.
also, may I ask how you have determined the size of the belowdeck parts? (and the gun turret, actually)

I saw that the turret was slightly bigger than the 5"/62 Mark 45 and drew it accordingly. And based on the turret size I drew the belowdeck parts as they were shown in the pictures I used. The scale might be completely off btw. That new link you posted will help.

Nice work.

Don't forget to update the SLQ-32 to the most recent version:



The V3 is the one you want.
