    PXM -- A modern subchaser for the USN

    A few months ago, I posted a thread on a briefing with several more or less obscure frigate concepts for the USN. One of the designs included in that brief is the PXM, which I described at the time as a rabbit hole. This thread is my attempt to chase that rabbit as far as I can go, starting from...

    Zumwalt "borrows" (and adapts) European carrier designs...

    ... instead of re-inventing the wheel in the 70's. The idea is to blend together, Zumwalt "cheaper decks" (SCS / VSS / CVV) and the too few carrier designs from Europe. To bolster NATO fleets on one side, and the USN on the other - more flattops on both sides of the Atlantic. That is...

    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

    Littoral Combat Ship - Freedom/Independence

    Is the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) dead after Lockheed-Martin's USS Freedom (LCS-1) and General Dynamics/Austal USS Independence (LCS-2). The last I heard the US Navy was going to re-open bidding. Has the Navy decided to not resurrect this program or has it just not gotten around to sending its...

    CVN-77, CVX, and CVN-21 Design Studies

    Here is FAS link from 1997: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/docs/cvx-alt/index.html As you can see, the drawings survive but the NAVSEA reports are long offline. Were there any public documents that gave specifications for the design studies?
