    RN 1945 corvette

    In Norman Friedman's invaluable "The Postwar Naval Revolution", which I have so far read many times, now I have found yet another new information. It regards a project of a corvette from 1945. This is what Friedman says on this (in a footnote on one of the book's pages): "The 1200-ton corvette...

    Early CF.299 Destroyer Proposals (previously mistaken for RN Type 19 frigate)

    The following webpage has quite a bit of information about alternate designs for the RN’s Type 19 CVA-01 escort frigate. The designs explore difference ASW configurations with ASROC, Ikara and Malafon. http://middle-watch.com/outtakes.htm

    RN 1962: Escort Cruiser versus Type 82 with helo

    In Friedman's book on British Destroyers and Frigates there is an interesting account of how the Royal Navy looked at the competing virtues of two ships which are described but never illustrated. The first is a 10,000 ton escort cruiser armed with Seadart launchers front and aft and with a...

    Sea Harrier with a nuke

    A few years ago I recall seeing a picture of a Sea Harrier with a WE.177 nuclear weapon in a book. I think it was: Keeping the Peace - The Aldermaston Story by David J Hawkings Can anyone confirm this? I'd like to trace the pic. As I understand it they would have used the WE.177 both for...

    AGM-109/BGM-109 Tomahawk/Gryphon

    It would drive the cost sky high and ensure it never got built. And 90% of the targets wouldn't require it anyway. The US is even retiring it's best cruise missiles (the stealthy AGM-129) rather than convert them to conventional. Not sure why. Only thing I can come up with is the idea of...

    US 1950s Patrol Escort Project

    I've asked the helpful folks over at Warship Disscussion 3.0 about this and despite much searching no-one could find any references, not even from Friedman's US books. Reading Norman Friedman's 'British Carrier Aviation' he mentions the American Patrol Escort (PE) idea of the 1950s. Basically...

    In Flight Refuelling

    This idea was proved pre WW2 but for some reason doesn't seem to have been considered for use in extending the range of LRMP aircraft. What method was used, my reading of it is that the tanker trailed a hose (with a drogue to prevent wild movements) and the receiving aircraft caught this with a...
