Not Mikasa, but similar http://www.gwpda.org/naval/nets04.jpg

Being ex-Protar should be a warning in itself....😉

They're going to make me toss my Matchbox kit aren't they?

Good blog on Mikasa, by a modeller. Japanese, but your browser can translate. http://blog.livedoor.jp/studio120/

So, does this mean the current future has ended, and we are entering the 'next future'? I'll let myself out.....

I have found model warships, anything else that is worth perusing?

Are they still around? Is their stuff still available anywhere?

Just bought a booklet 'Mikasa: an illustrated history of the last pre-dreadnought battleship' What a disappointment, all pictures straight from the internet, text about the same. Not a good buy....

Pity there's no 1/350 kit , I seem to be in ship phase atm.....

Lookt to me like the inner rails are less 'deep' that the outer rails? Or could that be the angle of the pylon? Not the greatest angle for distortion...

Ohhh, a game! 'Twas the 'pinch' between the engines for me.

Makes you wonder how they're paying for all this... And what the effects are on the rest of the economy/public spending...

I like a bit of 'canning, but that looks like an 80 year old airplane

The 'Future War' technothriller series by FX Holden, uses these systems to good effect. The 'missile truck' concept is being extended to naval warfare as well. AEGIS ships can't carry enough against swarming attacks, so several navies are looking into ships that just carry hundreds of missiles.

Missile truck like the F-15 probably.
