The hull was a normal planing bow with a tunnel aft to carry a Pentane A/S homing torpedo. The hydrofoils and rudders were separated to allow the...

    Type 42 Batch 1 Hull Cut

    I am trying to get to the truth behind the story about the Type 42 ending up with a hull shorter than the designers wanted. The sources that I have available are contradictory. Norman Friedman states that there is no indication that the Type 42 was shortened from the a preferred 434ft (the...

    As stated in the companion thread on the Grumman G-132 design, "The 1955 CNO OR AS-040502 required an ASW flying boat with the ability to alight in the open sea, up to sea state 5, in order to operate a sophisticated dunking sonar, AN/ASQ6." This resulted in the "Open Ocean Seaplane" request for...

    US destroyer/frigate designs of the 60s & 70s

    I have finished some simple drawings of US destroyer designs from the 1960s and 1970s. The drawings are based on sketches and artist renderings found in Norman Friedman's book "US Destroyers An Illustrated Design History". I find the nuclear frigate design (Typhoon) very interesting. Fishjay
