Same here bro.My dreams have been crushed.
054B/new generation frigate
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
The last batch of 054A had bezels on the corners of the hangers to put AESA missile targeting illuminators. This one doesn't which confirms further it's a new class of frigate. Makes you wonder where they will put the illuminators assuming the ship still uses them.
Maybe, or maybe they will put the illuminators as part of an integrated mast.
Is it just me or does the hangar seem to sit an awful lot lower than the (enclosed?) bow? Maybe its just an image distortion due to the angle of the shot...
I don't think that's the bow but rather part of the deckhouse base structure.
I guess it must be, I am just a little confused by how the leading edge of the deckhouse base appears to round out towards the bow in line with the hull. Anyway, some fresh imagery from the front looking back should clear it up.
No, and no.
We probably won't know until the ship is nearly complete with good quality pictures needed to confirm if the VLS is UVLS or not.

Of all the ships coming down the pipeline, I'm actually the most excited about this one.
