RFA Argus, otherwise know as U.N. Command Ship USS Argus from World War Z.

Originally a container ship that was "borrowed" by the Royal Navy during the Falklands War, she's a great example of making the most of a converted commercial design.

The Russian equivalent to the Monge and USNS Vandenberg, the SSV-33 Ural, built on the same basic hull as the Kirov-class nuclear battlecruiser. With typical Russian planning, she was assigned to the Pacific Fleet though no available pier could support her, so she sat at anchor (though still running, to support the crew and systems) and wound up as a floating barracks.

I love the look of warships cruising along rivers but since the Rio Grande isn't navigable there's no place to see it in the US.
>maybe we should dredge it out the entire length of the border

>>30917066

I've been thinking over the RN's light frigate problem for a while now and what front pop-gun to give it. I'd say either give it a 30mm or don't give it anything at all, there's no budget to be fucking around with different calibers and then at the most 8x VLS cells, quadpacking can make up for the lack of cells.

>>30917255
For a the small ships, I'd just have the point defense guns act as their "gun".

You are correct in giving the saved space to other systems.

Just give it a "sponson" on each side, central position, with a Goalkeeper on them.
There, done.

>>30917351

Why Goalkeeper? You might as well stay in line with the rest of the fleet in using Phalanx and three of them is pretty excessive.

I always wondered why really powerful radar systems like aegis and shit aren't used to fry enemies, though I guess it is probably in the works in some black site or off map government facility.

I know some white supremicist milia guys were gonna make a xray gun in a van to give muslims cancer but they got ratted out. It looked otherwise to be a sound design though which I guess is why the FBI took that shit seriously.

>>30917154

What a goddamn shame of a fate for such a ship.

"The first ship in the class, SSV-33 Ural was built at Ordzhonikidze Yard in Leningrad in June 1981 and launched in May 1983. The hull and machinery were copied from the Kirov class battlecruisers but was supplemented with two conventional boilers. The ship was put into service 6 January 1989. The journey from Leningrad to Vladivostok was of 59 days with a stop in Cam Ranh in Vietnam.
Due to problems with reactor cooling, she never had a chance to patrol the Kwajalein Atoll for which she was built, but from its anchor in Vladivostok she could monitor the entire northern Pacific Ocean and made very valuable signals intelligence against Japan, South Korea and the U.S. forces that were based there.
In the summer of 1990, there was a fire in the aft engine room, which destroyed the generator and electrical system and the vessel was then allowed to rely solely on electric power from the forward engine room (the reactors was always turned off in port). This worked until the fall of 1991, since their generator broke down. Another incident that occurred the same fall was that the ship broke loose from its buoy in a gale, and drifted out to sea. The vessel was too large for the tugs could tow her into port again while the storm lasted, but they did manage to prevent the ship ran ashore. In a few months the ship was driven system with backup power from diesel generators, so she sailed back to Leningrad for repairs and maintenance at Ordzhonikidze Yard.
In the autumn of 2008 destroyed the dome to the ship's main radar (NATO name Ship Globe ) by a storm, exposing the radar antenna on the inside. SSV-33 Ural returned to Ordzhonikidze Yard for repairs in 2009."
