Maximus...I LOVE your designs don't get me wrong. But if you want constructive criticism, here it is.
We've already covered the deletion of the Sea Sparrow and the Mk 21/29 launchers, to be replaced with ESSM in the Mk 41's.
I think you've got too many Phalanx's on the ship (either Constitution or Montana) if you left the two on the bow, two on the stern, and four on the quadrants of the superstructure, I think that would be more than adequate. Maybe delete the other 4-8 (I can't find them all in the pictures
)
If you’re building a new class of battleship, why not build an upgraded Harpoon missile while you’re at it, one that can be deployed via the Mk 41 launchers. More flexible IMO, since it could be fired at a target in any direction, and gives the ship’s commander operational flexibility with the missile load. This would delete the dedicated Mk 141 Haproon launchers.
I would swap the 4 76mm gun mounts for the RAM launchers. They have a longer reach than the Phalanx, and 4 should be plenty.
If you’re worried about the ESSM and Harpoons taking up the space for TLAM's and other missile types, add more Mk 41 cells!
Let me know what you think...as I think you’re kind of partial to having as many different launchers as possible
