The Admiralty after a few years of building specialised destroyers are thinking of reverting to a general purpose type based on the Battle class built a few years ago but modernised and slightly lengthened.
It has improved armament with modernised 6pdr AA guns, fixed torpedo tubes in a deckhouse and Limbo mortar.
The machinery is almost identical but with electric rather than geared drive.

1950 will be cruiser time too for the Royal Navy.
The Acheron class will be what was termed an 'AACL' in the 1940s, but the Acheron carries a full range of anti-aircraft, anti-ship and anti-submarine weapons to revisit the 1920s RN concept of the Escort Cruiser. Designed to form part of a carrier force escort, they carry all the neccessary weapons and sensors for their role, they can unleash a deadly barrage.

The 5.5in guns are those of the Town class cruiser-destroyers but in a new twin mounting. The 3in is a new L/70 AA mount and is backed up by new quad 57mm mounts which is the sextuple 40mm mount but reworked for four 57mm guns. Plenty of fire-control as well. Four will be laid down in 1950 but more will be built during the early 1950s.

Not sure if I will build this or not, but putting this out there for comments.
A Ro-Ro LST, based off real RN 1950s LST projects. It’s big but it’s also capable but maybe just a bit too big?

Certainly a ship this size is very capable. It is also large, and expensive. Invoking the LST rules which allow you to deduct half the miscellaneous weight from the light tonnage it would still cost more than 3,300 tons per ship. So the question becomes one of where do you expect to land the half-battalion of troops and their vehicles?

The radius of action, to me, seems excessive, but if you are seeking to retake the Falklands after an Argentine adventure, or intervening directly in the Far East, not inconceivable. I find your choice of a 57mm battery *and* a 40mm battery odd, as both weapons would seem to be in the same category of medium AA artillery – logic would suggest that you concentrate on one or the other to avoid confusion in the magazines.

I suppose my concern boils down to my frequently quoted maxim, “Don’t put your eggs in one basket.”

Those were kind of my thoughts;
It is big and using this for the assault wave seems unlikely gives its bulk, ideally I would want to trim some of the weight back if its a beaching LST.
It would be good for support, perhaps the second wave when more mass is needed.
The range is perhaps a tad excessive, not sure lowering it would save much on tonnage, in real terms the hull size and BC is eating up the tons more than what is in it. But yes, for reinforcement it would be good to be able to move it around the world with a convoy without having to stop to fuel up. Of course with troops aboard endurance would be much lower in real terms, things would get messy aboard very quickly.
The light AA is my foible, I love the 6pdr 57mm for pounding out metal but I also like the flexibility of a smaller gun for scaring off dodgy looking sampans and that kind of thing when a 57mm shell might be overkill. I haven't got a 20mm gun at the moment, only a 0.661in heavy MG and that feels too light now for AA. Might strip the 40mm back to a couple of singles.

A possible new submarine design for 1950 taking the Oberon Class and making some minor improvements. Subsim makes some drastic changes in 1950 so there are quite a few changes required to keep the reserve buoyancy reasonable.
