HMAS Astute
HMAS Astute.
Heavy modification of USS Hammond.
Removed the diesel engines in favour of a nuclear reactor with Electric Motors and many more armaments and weapon systems including a VLS Missile system and VLS Torpedo system, entirely new turret and fire constrol system, more interiors and equipment lockers added.
Armour is added to easily withstand low caliber weapons up until the caliber of the autocannons, especially armoured in the engine room and battery room areas. And spaced armour to prevent stray rounds from hitting the Torpedo warheads in the centre of the ship (you really dont want them to explode, it will kill basically everyone on the ship).
Due to the sheer mass of all the 45 Missiles towards the stern, a pitch stability system was added so the ship doesn’t pitch upwards. This system is controlled in the bridge to the right of the helm.
Other minor changes including bow and stern thrusters to help with its maneveurbility, minor details such as the radar on the mast spinning when the radar is turned on, fire suppression systems (Battery room, Engine room, Reactor room).
I have this mainly just to share with friends, but if it gets more popular than I will credit all the stuff I’ve used to put this together (I will credit the rest of the stuff once I get the chance to, and if I miss anyone please tell me!).
Feel free to leave any suggestions!
