Design Challenge: SLDF 2766 Testbed and Training Training Ship

[nerd]

Ok, here's an odd request those who still design Warships. I kind of came up with this today.

It's 2766, and the SLDF has put out a RFP for a design to perform both equipment testing and training for the SLN. The ship will be capable of testing any weapon and technique for the SLN, but will be built to a base-line configuration for use as a training vessel. The secondary mission is to act in the frigate or destroyer role in war time. To meet the requirements the ship must have:

• Mass no more than 770,000 tons.
• Fitted with at least one bay each NPPC, NL, NAC, AR-10, and N-Gauss.
• In addition to above, carry one heavy weapons bay (Quad Heavy NPPC, Heavy N-Gauss or NAC-40). During major refits, this bay will be replaced with another option.
• Have crew berthing for 150% of standard.
• Space for one squadron of fighters, and four small craft

Nice to have:

• Two docking collars
• Modern armor
• Be capable of using the latest in SLN fire control techniques Cough*BracketCapableBay*Cough
• 2g of sustained thrust
• Lithium-Fusion Battery
• Dedicated passenger space
  

Planned procurement is for at least nine to be built. Three testing platforms, and six training vessels, for Annapolis, Kure, and Keid, are planned as batch I. Subsequent batches, including downgraded variants for the Member States maybe contracted as well.

The only thing the spec is missing is an NCSS of some flavor to train THOSE sailors...  ^-^

That is available, but it didn't cross my mind in the specs.

[Daryk]

It only crossed my mind because I'm one of those kind of Sailor....  ^-^

I like that might have to borrow it.
