After got blueprints on the SAM Kotlin from the USSR and Poland, the other three were finist as SAM missile- carring ships, and called under sub-class ''SAM LUDA'' or batch 2. after 1989 they were fitted with helipad and got AK-630 added.

Thank-you!

In fact never.... They will get a few large cruisers with missiles, but nothing much larger. 250 meters is the max.

Bah... Have they no pride?

I struck me that since Russia paid off some its foreign debt with arms wouldnt a Japanese or RoK Kirov be cool?

I agree, unfortunately most navies of today also go for the"boat with boxes for superstructure"
Japanese ships had a nice look to them now they started looking like US Navy but uglier.

Future Polish ships will be most likely indigenous hulls with Russian German mix of systems and weapons.

A Kashin Mod with Kormoran instead of Styx.
Now that the Idea of that entered my mind I have to draw it.

Dittoed.

1950s/1960s Chile will probably build something similar in appearance to the French Suffren or the Dutch Tromp. The big light-bulb like radome just looks cool, in a hilarious way.

Apparently they do.

Actually I don't know and do not care.
I stopped carrying a long time a go, about the time when Perry class became the flag ships. I don't care how capable they are. Perry is too ugly and common, to be a flagship.
Its like driving a pope in a VW Golf.

Slightly more serious than the HMS Monster, The DFB FK-103 of Fernkampfgruppe "Peter von Danzig"

Looks kinda stubby for 4 engines. A twin engined version would look better mefinks.

And a twin

Can't help, but looks a little bit like a He-111 or am i wrong ??
