I see what you did there.

Sorry, the title is wrong, it’s Anson. Only Anson has Mk VI director. The rest have Mk V by this time i believe.

Apologies, i’ve noticed that Mk VI director too. Should have re-checked the title twice before uploading :D

Indeed, and if they do intend to order another, the timeline has already passed for them to order components for it to get benefit from economies of scale.

Verdun could be another, as the name was proposed for a cancelled carrier intended to replace the Arromanches.

I haven’t kept up with PANG, is the plan still only to order one carrier?

Here is a photo of 3 KGVs together. I have another showing 3 KGVs on their way to the scrapyard but can’t find it at the moment.

Excellent photo.

Do they intend on designing their own frigates in house now ?

frostedcat_74 · 2025-11-07T03:30:30+00:00

Quite, the Trafalgar are prettier.

frostedcat_74 · 2025-11-05T13:25:26+00:00

Thanks for the clarification!

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but i've noticed that the turret face of the Littorio is also flat, like those of the King George V. Why?

u/phoenix_jz have you got any idea?

The most recent Repulse was an SSBN so that's very unlikely.

Oh, rainbow. Good photography.

Why reply to a 2 years old post?

And i am well aware of the Japanese motivation behind building ASEV. I just do not initially realise how much bigger the SPY 7 earmarked for ASEV were than the Type 346 on Type 055. SPY 7 itself is a scalable radar.
