"Super Destroyer" is the working name for the type, it will have more armor than the traditional destroyer but less than a cruiser.
Armament will be heavy.

[2] 5" guns in 2 turrets
[4] 3" coilguns in 2 double turrets
[2] 30mm vulcan Goalkeeper CIWS
[2] 25mm chainguns
[24] Harpoon MOD4 in 2 foward armored box launchers
[8] Harpoon MOD4 in 2 rear quad launchers
Unspecified # of VLS cells for SM-2 or Sea Sparrow anti-aircraft missiles ,tomohawk or hatchet cruise missiles
Perhaps an additonal armored box launcher(2) for Sea sparrow or other SAMs
At least 4 torpedo tubes, and 2 depth charge launchers, facility for at least 1 helicopter
Research desigantion is DDX-120

The naval contractors of Antarctica123 ask for input from the international shipbuilding community.

Constructive critisism is welcome, comments on how it "sucks" are not.

8 inch Cannons on a Destroyer! Perhaps Cruiser would be a better Specification

Yes well, DD-120 looks better on the side of the hull in the pic I made :P hmm what could I make that stand for :?:

Dastardly Destroyer :lol:

Anyway, 8" is a bit big, and a low number of VLS's would be good, otherwise this is a cruiser :)
