You've already specified a Tri Hull, BA. That already makes it one wide summbiatch anyway. In addition, there is one other strong agument in favor of my way vs yours... Damage control.
Planes and their gear go BOOM waaaay to well. My way they're inboard and yours their most exposed to enemy fire.
As to the Dinky warhead on the '46... Talk to Kohran. I'm sure she can come up with something that'll give us more umph for the same weight/volume. The problem is that the original designers figured the 46 would ALWAYS track in on the screws and pop the shaft seals, obviously that doesnt happen. However, with a bigger warhead on an otherwise standard weapon we dont have to reprogram the ballistics or anything.
And as for the range, thats why you have ASW helos and vikings covering
the outer approaches. especially since you did go and specify a flight
deck
Of course, theese sort of design arguments and comprimises explain why so many of the Real Navy's ships are specialists. Better to have 2-3 smaller ships that do their jobs WELL than 1 that does to many things in a half brassed way.
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?
That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!
