Very very interesting. And a nice drawing, too.

I remember now when you posted a WIP on the old board. It looks good. I may have to steal it for a project or two.

This is excellent: good darwing and an interesting concept; and looking at the Austal site I was impressed with what can be packed into this hull

I've drawn this as it might appear in Australian service, as it often comes up as a possible replacement for the Armidale, Leeuwin, Huon and Paluma Class ships under Project SEA 1180.
