Merger of Battleship Washington with an Arleigh Burke superstructure, no AEGIS though.

And some VLS too.
-
Tomahawk and harpoon launchers or all under the VLS covers?
-
Interesting. Looking forward to further updates.
-
Hmm.. this has merit

All VLS.
Build coming along swimmingly:

I do like it, makes you wonder what the US could have achieved with the Iowas with a complete rebuild, not as extreme as the Albanys but retaining the 16" triples and replacing the superstructure.
-
Awesome sauce!
-
Washington class, overshadowed by Iowa class and mostly ignored by modelers & public.
Good build of a plausible modernization. I like it :)
-
I like it a lot :)
-
Armament mix & layout make sense to me. Down to 20-25mm on main deck :)
In 60s Renwal made nice 1/500ish kit of Washington. Never did buy one though was impressed with a friend's build.
