Boar-class CGN
http://img55.exs.cx/img55/9658/misslecruiser31altb.jpg
Designed to replace the Kirov-class CGN within Navy service, the Boar-class carries a formiddable array of weapons on a swift-moving, agile hull. Ideal for all operations, including anti-surface warfare, ASW, air defence, patrols and fleet actions, the Boar is a capable surface combat vessel of the next generation.
General
Displacement: 29,125 tonnes standard, 36,674 tonnes laden.
Length: 197.6m
Maximum Beam: 25.4m
Draught: 7.9m standard, 9.6m laden.
Crew: 604 (86 Officers, 75 Warrant Officers, 443 enlisted personnel.
Speed (knots): 38-40
Propulsion: 1 Hafnium-Lutetium QNR-II
Two sets geared steam turbines, 118,200-120,000 SHp
2 shafts, 2 vectoring propulsor pods.
Armament
Guns: 3 AK-130 (1x3) 130mm fully-automatic water-cooled guns.
8 AO-18 30mm CIWS
Missiles: Cells for up to 150 cruise missiles including SS-N-22, SS-N-26, SS-N-27 (ASuW and ASW variants) BGM-109 Tomahawk.
64 SA-N-6 (S-300PMU) SAMs.
ASW: 16 SS-N-27 (9M1E1) Rocket-launched torpedoes (2x4-round-launchers with 1 set reloads from adjacent deckhouses each).
4 RBU-6000 ASW mortars (2 forward, 2 aft).
Torpedoes: 6x533mm torpedo tubes (3 port, 3 starboard), 6 reload torpedoes loaded horizontally.
Protection: Vital spaces (magazines, engine spaces, reactor spaces) receive 70mm kevlar and 50mm composite armour. All magazines surrounded by jeckets of non-flammable gel. Missile boxes armoured against shells up to 130mm calibre. Missile launch cells surrounded by flame-retardant gel; cells hatches are armoured against outside impacts, but designed to "pop" clear of cell in event of internal detonation; all cells have 50mm armoured firewall
separation.
Aircraft: 2 Ka-27B ASW helicopters, 2 Yak-061 "Shemel" UAVs.
Systems:
1 ASP-101/Top Pair 3D air/surface-search and fire-control radar suite (SSM and SAM surveillance and targeting; ASP-101 if overloaded delegates SAM operation to Top Pair system
only).
1 Kite Screech for AK-130 fire-control.
2 Palm Frond Nav radars.
2 Bass Tilt AO-18 control.
6 Sag Coat short/mid-range beam-alterable fire-control LADAR (AK-130, AO-18)
1 Sage Bag mid-range LADAR (backup SSM and SAM surveillance).
2 Bell Shroud ESM
1 Bell Squat-B jammer
1 Punch Bowl SATNAV
1 Cross Loops II Communications intercept array
8 PK-10 chaff launchers
4 Burn Eye anti-LADAR smoke generators in hull sides.
Orion hull-mounted LF sonar.
Platina-B MF VDS
Compartments
1) Bow sonar done, accommodation, storage.
2) Accommodation, storage.
3) Forward gun armament magazine.
4) CIWS and RBU-6000 magazine.
5) Accommodation for officers, emergency conning station.
6) Missile cells, torpedo tubes.
7) SAM cells, cruise missile cells.
8) Avation supplies.
9) Cruise missile cells, machinery spaces.
10 Cruise missile cells, reactor spaces.
11) After RBU magazine, cruise missile cells.
12) Cruise missile cells.
13) VDS spool, aft CIWS magazine, cruise missile cells.
Engineering
The reactor is placed aft of the turbine spaces, abreast the turboalternators and gearboxes for the steam turbines. The heat exchanger system feeds forward to the two main turbines.
Design
All bulkheads are 150mm titanium alloy. The ship is fully NBC sealed.
--------------------------------------------------
Now, as well as feedback on the design, I need feedback on something I've been thinking about.
As you may have noted, the cruise missile cells are oddly-shaped. Specifically, they are rectangular where normally I make them circular. This reflects the fact that they can accept multiple types of missile, from a Yakhont to a Tomahawk.
The system I'm (hopefully) using to do this simply exploits the torpedo tube method. The cells are watertight. By default, each cell can accommodate the largest AShM carriable by these ships, the Yakhont AShM. However, should a small missile, such as the SS-N-27, be used, this presents a problem, as the space available for the propellant gas to flow around in the cell is rather large, degrading performance of the missile.
To counter this, the missiles are encased within their own capsule, as used on submarines, and the cells filled with seawater from vents within each cell, as in a torpedo tube. When the order to launch a given cell is given, a powerful two-stage charge of highly compressed nitrogen detonates benath the missile. The filling of the cell with water primes the lid opening mechanism on the missile cell, and the activation of the cell's detonator automatically fires the small squib that opens the hatch for the missile. The missile is blasted clear of the cell by the two-stage charge; thereafter, the cap at the read of the capsule is released, allowing the missile's own motor to activate. Once this occurs, the capsule is shed and the missile assumes its course.
Having fired the missile, the cell is then rapidly drained of water, the seawater being fed into the sea or into storage tanks for use in cell fillings.
