Finally scratch built a terrier missile launcher and added it to the build, built set of macks, for possible use, also posted rough sketches, with the build in front of them, still working on what the superstructure/system placement might look like.
still around 50 ft short even with a hull and bow expansion this is base on FY 62 USN ship studies requirements. the minimum space of terrier missile system with 40-60 missiles and DLG-16 type control space, Thought of using macks in place of stacks and masts, this frees up about 19 ft, and moving the bridge/superstructure forward 44 ft would free of enough space to make all this fit on an expanded DD 931 hull.
Items left off the FY 62 USN ship design requirement: not using the 8000 N.MI range @ 20kts this adds around 1550-1800 tons. staying around 800-900 tons fuel. Using SQS--23 hull sonar, instead of SQS-26 bow sonar. Leaving off the DASH system (Drone ASW helicopter).
when build is completed represents as updated around FY72 adds second SQS-23 sonar dome becoming SQQ-23 sonar system, replace SPS-39 radar with SPS-48 and add ULQ-6 ECM Syst. clear stern deck area for helicopter pad by relocating fanfare syst. and deck vents and bollards.
