S for main search and X for high resolution missile defense. Many ships have that in one or another form, but only a few have that with both of them being four-panel fixed AESA.
So...

Nah, the enclosed deck and the pyramid-mast has been the correct choice. Despite being called a destroyer, that pyramid mast really makes it look like a cruiser.
Adrian Thompson
I disagree - the mass saved by the open forecastle allows for a continuous superstructure instead of two deckhouses, and having the radar arrays on the same deck lets them share cooling equipment to reduce complexity and weight
Noah Bailey
I dont think an enclosed foredeck is actually that heavy. And any ship design has always been dependent on its engine layout anyway
Dominic Morgan
It's not that the enclosure is heavy, but rather all the systems now a deck higher that throw off the metacentric height (in essence, the roll stability)
The powerplant for this concept is identical to the final product - everything is roughly unchanged in terms of distance from the first perpendicular
Angel Morgan
I get it. Gotta update those ships for the United States Nigger Navy so the "New Americans" can continue enforcing the status quo.

>a new cruiser is needed
nope
Grayson Diaz
that's what all US ships look like after 3 months at sea because we are not allowed to use lead paint

>X for high resolution missile defense
You mean illuminators for SARH missiles.
