my favaroit nickname for the F-4 is Eisensau” (Iron Sow), “Fliegender Ziegelstein” (Flying Brick), and “Luftverteidigungsdiesel” (Air Defense Diesel). the germans had great nicknames for the usa fighters
also on a related note didn’t the conty class have similar problem upgradeing them due the the huge sea slug lancher and the small ship.
i thought the Leander desine was very good as it is still in use in many places.
nice it changed a lot from when we frist saw
by the way the f136 is the more powerful engine that might help the weight problems 1x General Electric/Rolls-Royce F136 afterburning turbofan 178 kN thrust in copaision 1× Pratt & Whitney F135 afterburning turbofan, (165 kN) less power
sorry i wasn’t sure i think i misunderstooded the defrences of ssk i thought there was a bigger simalarity between them both as the are larger.
it that the desine is similar to the comterpary nuke style sub the teardrope desine of the hull. the open water comment is about that they don’t seemed to desined for littorals areas as they have been adopted by contries with large costines with big ocenes.
i hope this clears this up
so which is the better sub in open water Victoria [ex Upholder] vs Collins class vs Oyshio class. as they all have nuke style hulls and are all ment for open water how they compare
with each oter directly.
will they ever take part in a joint exersise?
and can someone plesese lock my thread sinces it the same as this one
but not the Victoria class sub should i hadd that to the discution
im sorry to say that the CG[X] is no more its dead acroding to wikapidia
in 2006 Congress massively cut the DD(X) program, with only two ships of the Zumwalt class still planned.
it means only two have congress funding but it still many be revied.
but ording to wikapidea it has been cancesseled [sorry about the spelling ]
so how large is the duch fleet of merchernts and LPDs
will the Leanders & the Countys going to the scrapyard or will they have some use for someone

‘EADS dismissed the idea of Norway investing in a less expensive “Eurofighter lite” with reduced capabilities enabling Oslo to offset its initial investment in JSF, which would be lost if it exited the programme. “There are no such things as trimmed down export versions. We are offering all our customers exactly the same version of the aircraft that is being supplied to the Eurofighter nations Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK and also to our export customer Austria,” says Johann Heitzmann, chief executive of Military Air Systems within the EADS Defence & Security Systems division’.
