As opposed to the Telescopic hangers that we’ve been talking about, I think these systems are really interesting because not only do they save space, but they also allow for a capability jump on small ships.
Some ships that have this system are:
La Galissonniere (T 56 class DD from France)
Udaloy Class (Russian DDG’s)
Krivak III (Russian FFG’s)

OK I may have mis judged some of the pics I have seen but I know that there are some old soviet built ships that do have this style of hanger (just can’t remember which ones).
Vort: mate that sounds like a feasable idea, already my mind is buzzing with designs and plans, and they can be extended to cover UAV/UCAV’s as well!

instead of a sky hook for harriers, why not a sky inverted crane for helicopters. Don’t need a pad. A robotic extending arm that a helicopter lands on and takes off from automatically and then retracts into the hangar. Instead of saving space with all sorts of hangars (normal, telescopic, periscopic, elevator…and who knows what), save the pad space. The hangar space should be as fixed as possible, imagine your garage with movable walls…where are all the tools going to mount on? :confused:

The one on D638 LA GALISSONNIERE is the only one that can be considered periscopic. The hangar on Krivak 3 is a regular fixed hanger: helicopter moves in and out horizontally. The hangar on Udaloy is interesting in that it has two helicopter hangars of which the floor is lower than the flight deck. AFAIK, there is a ramp behind the hangar doors by means of which a helo can reach the flight deck from the hanger. There is no lift and in that sense the Udaloy hangar as not periscopic. Each of these three ships represents a distinct way to house a helicopter on board.

Do You want to say, that this is the same type of hangar as on Krivak 3 and Udaloy? :confused:

See if you can find any pics of the T 56 and you’ll see what I mean

Don’t know about the T556 class but the hangar in Udaloy class is totally different from that in the Krivak 3.
