arleigh burke concepts

[acelanceloet]

felt like doing some burke neverbuilds and personal designs. on my PC I have quite a few drawings of different concepts, I will try to cover quite a few of them, but for now only the easiest mod. note that I based the drawing almost purely on the profile view in the upper right corner, as the large drawing seems to have quite a few differences from that, of which most seem to be just drawing errors.

sorry for the long wait guys...... but here is another one

What's with the weird knuckle in the fantail structure? It doesn't make any sense.

A miss-interpretation of the helo deck nets that I failed to catch.

[travestytrav25]

Seems like the placement of the aft CIWS so close to the helo deck is just a horrible accident waiting to happen.

<facepalm> sorry Erik, looking at it again I see how stupid that was. will correct as soon as I have time xD

[Triton]

Is the Flight nomenclature unique to the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer? Or have other ship classes used Flight I, Flight II, Flight III etc. to denote subclasses/variants? Anyone know the origin of the term Flight as applied to naval ships?

[acelanceloet]

is this the right place to ask this? I doubt so.
but, the tico's (and ,I have seen this only once, but ok, the perry's) use this as well. most often I see the word 'batch' used though.

[acelanceloet]

ok, fixed
