FFG X who will win

Detailed article, as usual. The General Dynamics design as mentioned has a formidable array of weapons and sensors. Any vessel chosen will have to meet certain requirements, I'm sure.

Great article.

General Dynamics - if for no other reason than the looks.

Thanks gents

If I’m honest skybird I’m a little bit likening the FREMM but I know it has it’s short comings

I think if they chose the FREMM there would be delays and cost over runs for sure

What is the most expensive and worst equiped ship?

Kapitan · 06-07-19, 02:26 AM

Personally I’d say the zumwalts

This blind trust into the superiority of only highest tech at the highest buying cost, leads too far these days. It ignores the wartime relevance of numbers and reserves - and that you need to be capable to digest own losses. As they say in boxing: its not only about how many blows you can deliver, it also is about how often you can stand up again.

Indeed the USN has the technology and blind faith in it, but if we look back in history sometimes the simplest and cheapest solutions have worked far better than any technology.

A vintage bi plane crippled Bismarck

the T36 sloped its armor making it harder to penetrate and was much simpler than any German design.

a simple rubber skirt around the tanks side stopped the dust from the desert clogging up the engines

sometimes those who fail to learn the lessons of history will be doomed to repeat it are very apt.
