Just realised I never voted on this one:

1, D
2, E
3, C

To do all the things that ‘the commitee’ seems to be demanding here is going to take us well beyond the standard destroyer displacement. Takes us away from the C1 concept and any vestige of reality too! 🙂

Best you could pitch this as, I suppose, would be for a direct like-for-like replacement of the ‘command cruiser’ role we are sort of using the Type 22B3’s for at the moment – if we could afford such a hull.

Oh yeah to engage in supreme nitpickery Planeman you need to change the title of the threads too!. In RN Type numbering a T4x would be an AAW ship – a general purpose vessel like this is turning out to be would be given a Type 8x number! 😀
