A new warship to replace an aged class of frigates for anti-air and anti-sub purposes. I'll format this like I would in my factbook, but this wouldn't be entering service for a little while in roleplay.
Does anyone have any ideas for improvements? I'd love to hear them.
I'm thinking I may need at least one chain gun turret.

The necessity of a navy, in the restricted sense of the word, springs, therefore, from the existence of a peaceful shipping, and disappears with it, except in the case of a nation which has aggressive tendencies, and keeps up a navy merely as a branch of the military establishment. 1

While I doubt, that it would be the most effective in either roles, it should be both possible. It's makeshift, though, and you should aim to get a replacement as soon as possible.
Old landing ships, I've read somewhere, can be adapted to a multitude of auxillary roles as makeshifts, but they can not replace dedicated vessels.

CIWS armament appears excessive. RIM-116 (aka the rolling airframe missile) is a bit redundant when you already have VLS cells which can launch ESSM.

Lamoni wrote:Both ESSM and RAM are designed to hit missiles inbound on the targeted ship (though ESSM can also hit aircraft and other targets more generally). In other words, they are both a type of CIWS, just that one is larger, more expensive, and more capable than the other.
Think of missile defense at sea as being a layered system, like so:
1.) Long range SAMs (Standard, Aster, etc)
2.) Medium range SAMs (ESSM, etc)
3.) ECM
4.) Decoys (RF, Corner Reflector, IR, Chaff, etc)
5.) CIWS (both gun and missile)
Each layer works with the others in order to keep attacking missiles from hitting the ship. Gun/Missile combinations can also offer advantages that neither one has alone.
