I didn't actually mind the short squat design. It's just that when laid out side by side, as another thread is doing, it ends up looking bulkier than heavier warships. And that utterly broke my SOD.
I think what's needed is the redone Vincent alongside something else bigger, to remind you that the Vinny is barely over 400 meters long. She had to be broad as all hell because of the absurd amount of cargo the design carries, if she wasn't it would be a case of the crew literally having crawl spaces instead of corridors. A case of "This walkway was made for me!" trying to fit through it.
The Vinny's an odd ship, at 420k tonnes a full load of 97k tonnes of cargo is 23% of its full mass devoted to Cargo, yet the Vincent is also lightly armed and armoured, (yet for a SLDF ship it has a decent fuel tank) so i've always wondered where the rest of its weight has gone, unless its a design thing that engines are just obscenely heavy (and even then the Vinny isn't capable of that high an acceleration curve, its the same as a Lola III).
In reality the Vincent is not a fast attack boat, at best she's an escort and patrol craft, more a large coastguard ship (the US does have armed coastguard ships -
