HAHA! Observe the democracy flowing out of it...

It even has a large well deck for deploying amphibious capable invasion vehicles.

I need to add the superstructure to the deck.

Awesome! I wish I had the patience (and the specs) to do something like that. I look forward to seeing the final product!

It's less computer intensive than Zeke's QE II. Also, Thank you.

The two escort vessels in the fleet.

Hey, that's the BPE Juan Carlos I! I didn't know we already had Matadors flying from there! Still, I don't think it was your intention to show a ship form the Spanish Navy (Besides, it doesn't hold a candle to those Tarawa-Class of yours...)

Rune. For a while I seriously considered trying to fly one of those. Then I blew my knee playing rugby.

Man your ships are incredible! I just wish my computer could handle the part counts haha. Well done, I look forward to seeing the completed version!

Whats the max speed of the LHA? And the part count?

Thank you. Those vessels are armed to the teeth with VLS SAM's, ASCM's, and a landing pad on the larger destroyer. It's a nice fleet.

Max speed is only 10 m/s (I'm investigating some improved engines, however), and the part count is 800 parts (very low for a ship of this size).

It seems the design is starting to follow the JMSDF Izumo more...

Actually, I meant to show the Juan Carlos. I just love the footage of VTOL aircraft.

Don't forget the RAN Canberra class uses the same hull.

Also, sorry to hear about your injury. My friend flies Harriers for the UMSC, though. (San Diego, FTW!!! Down with the Patriots, I say, and up with the Chargers.)

I approve of this ship.

Well, then you picked the perfect video for it. And yeah, we mananged to sell half of two to the Australians, that was kind of a big win for the Navantia shipyards. With that and building Aegis frigates at the same time, for a moment there our shipbuilding industry seemed to be experiencing a golden age. It had more to do with cheap loans our army is sweating bullets to pay for now...

And don't worry about the injury, it was the factor that decided me to go for Aeronautical Engineer... Maybe I wouldn't be playing KSP now if I got in the army!

Rune. Plus, I'm not really army material, in hindsight. I just liked fast flying stuff.

South Korea's certainly in a golden age of shipbuilding. They even started construction of multiple 3,400 ton AIP submarines for the ROKN.

Also, I discovered this carrier is not meant to carry heavy fighters...

Flight operations: ... Maverick?

I'll have to reinforce the deck somehow and make an arresting system.
