Loss of Moskva: (Unedited): 19 April 2022:

 No matter who the enemy is pointed out to be in life. Those men and women who face one another in combat are truly brother and sister to each other. Thus, deserving of great honor and respect. No matter what happens or whose side you are on. 
C.J.MacKechnie
---------------------------------
Please have your own moment of respectful silence for the lives lost and the loss of a great warship.
--------------------------------------
Note: Please do not look any further into my comment of respect for the loss of life and the loss of a great warship. A warship which should have been retired when the age of it's own creation ended. 
----------------------------------------
The early on lessons from the Moskva. Do not have your explosive missiles on top of your ship unprotected. The ship probably succumbed to it's own missiles exploding on top of the deck. Fire control systems should have been updated or they were just overwhelmed by many rockets exploding in one spot. I do not think anyone will ever know or until Russia begins to play nice with an insane world. Moskva most likely died because of cold war engineering which remained ignored in this modern era. This is not just how one regime builds things with only "Yes men". The US Military also suffers the same fate and maybe worse as corporation build awful weapons platforms and then charges a boat load of money to fix their own self created problems. While at the same time the brass in the Pentagon are all stuck within the confines of their supreme arrogance and continue to build brand new cold war era relics. While the Moskva was a severe hit to the Russian pride. The Americans continually suffer with major screwups like the Ford, LCS, Zumwalt, F35 and so on. Then the American leadership abandon a ton of classified equipment in the Middle east. Mr. Putin and Mr. Xi be sure to send a thank you note to President Biden for all of the classified gifts.

=======================
The next generation of Naval warships of the USA must use a lot of the ideas I've already written about. Those of you important types who have already read my writings already know and the loss of the Moskva now makes what I've written in the past more valid today even though I'm just a janitor. The writing of today is going to be in reflection of the Moskva. 
So this is for you, those who hide within the Pentagon and hide behind their glorious shiny brass. You all are still stuck in your cold war days. You are all still stuck in your antiquated ways. Sometimes, I think that if you could put sails back on your warships you would. This is how backward thinking I think all of you are. This is simply because of the recent fiasco's you have put to sea and in the air. 
========================
Leaders lead in every category
=======================
I continually look at what is being built on modern day warships and also study the history of warships. This is what I have seen in what should be added to every class of warship. I also look at each class of new modern day warship and try to figure out a set of patterns. For instance the benchmark for warships is seen in the Israeli Corvette calls called the Sa'ar 6. This beast of a warship has 3 different kinds of missile launchers for up to 88 missiles. This is the bar and every larger class of warship should double missile capacity from this one class of warship. This should be modern day Naval warship thinking. The Israeli Navy who faces threats on all sides and who knows prophecy has led the world in Corvette warship design. 
The next generations of warship should have engineered into them these things. The elimination of windows and port holes. All persons must remain within the confines of the ship. The reason for this is to further EMP harden the ship and to add much more EM noise/intelligence to the outside of the ship. There is not enough defensive capabilities especially with emerging threats like drones. Drones would be perfect for attrition level of attacks. Make a ship blind and then capture the ship. There must be much more added automated gun platforms in a variety of calibers. Each with their own sensors/RADAR sets. There is not enough of multi wavelength dazzlers on any ship. All Missile launcher types must be fully contained within the ship. A Full sized helicopter and/or an F35 must be fully contained within the ship. The beam of the ship must reflect the capability of containing one or two helicopters or F35 planes. The power generation capability must all be future proofed. 
Why the added width/Beam? Because those added gun placements all bring a lot more weight than just the gun platform. Adding displacement. What about adding Mk-57's to as many classes of ships as possible. This will also add to the Beam.
-------------------------------------
Be on the look out for other blog listings within each blog. The 2, 3 and 5 is very important. Look for the COWA's.

========================
NOTE: When reading my older blogs in which they remain unedited mostly. They are mostly unchanged. My writing style is unique and uneducated. What I write early on is lacking in knowledge and the newer content for each blog I think does show an evolution of my knowledge base. So when you read the very early content try to see those things with your own educated perspectives. I do see things with a very different perspective. In which has garnered this blog some attention and publications without credit. But, I do not care about credit. I just care about amazing ships of all kinds. A war ship builder did track me down. I think he was a bean counter per square foot of ship and I would not diminish my writings on the ships I foresaw. He got upset and told him I was just a janitor. Yea, he blew up, lol. 
 =========================
:Corvette Class: 
I just can't talk about the LCS this right now. The US Navy is still building these probably to honor the contract. While at the same time planning on retiring the entire line. Four Freedoms have already been decommissioned. Two Independences have been decommissioned. 
But, I really like the Trimaran design. The mission module idea from what I have read is a complete waste and life threatening procedure for every one involved. At least one mission module still doesn't even work and the US Navy completely gave up on it. Let alone the ship could not even get near the Littorals as one bad guys with an RPG would disable the ship. A complete waste of money. 
As you can guess I like the Israeli Sa'ar 6. Except for the multiple missile launching systems. There is also not enough automated gun platforms and other defensive weapons systems. How about a Sa'ar 6 as a trimaran not made of aluminum? Or would the weight be excessive? Then add 88 Mk-41 VLS. 
-------------------------------------------
A nation like Israel. Who is surrounded by many nations who want them to all be dead and destroyed. Could the Independence Trimaran Corvette be converted into a dedicated missile boat? How many Mk-41 can you add? How many Mk-57's can you add? get rid of the landing platform and install VLS Missile cells. The aluminum hull design may not be able to support the added weight. Think about it. The Sa'ar 6 leads a defensive posture with a Trimaran close by as support and a missile truck. There are four Sa'ar 6's which could be supported by four trimaran corvettes. Firepower is multiplied. But, I think my towed COWA idea would be much cheaper to build.
----------------------------
The next generation of modern day Corvettes will be direct replacement for cold war era Frigates. 
-----------------------------
https://john-mackechnie.blogspot.com/2019/07/us-navy-next-generation-corvette.html
==========================
:Frigate Class:
Length: 160+m.
Beam  : 25.5+m.
Range :15,000+ km.
Speed : Excess of 30 knots.
VLS# : 176 combined Mk-41 and Mk-57 VLS. 
Aircraft: 1 or 2 helicopters or F35's and/or whatever comes after the F35. 
---------------------------------------
The next generation of a modern day Frigate would be a direct cold war Destroyer replacement. Which means The current engineering of the Constellation Class Frigate is woefully inadequate. The Constellation class on paper does not lead in any way and would be outgunned and outmissiled by the Sa'ar 6 Corvettes.
-----------------------------------
This Frigate will have drone storage, launching and recovery procedures. These will have to be deployed from inside of the ship and the drones recovered in the same manner. Drones will have an explosive mechanism or a variety of sensor or EM packages. Depending on mission criteria. 
-----------------------------------
https://john-mackechnie.blogspot.com/2017/04/us-navy-fast-frigates-unedited-19-april.html
=======================
:Destroyer Class:
Length  : 200m
Beam    : 32+m
Range   : 15,000 km
Speed   : Excess of 30 knots. 
VLS#   : 352 combined Mk41 and Mk 57 VLS. 
Aircraft: 2 to 4 helicopters or F35's and/or whatever comes after the F35. 
-------------------------
The next generation of a modern day Destroyer would be a direct cold war Cruiser replacement.
This plan has already been published. Even with a loss of missile cells planned. Which is both not smart or wise.  
------------------------
The Destroyer will have twice as many drones. 
--------------------------------
https://john-mackechnie.blogspot.com/2021/02/american-next-generation-destroyer-ddgx.html 
====================
:Cruiser Class:
Length  :250m
Beam    :40+m
Range   :15,000km.
Speed   :Excess of 30 knots.
VLS#   :704 combined Mk-41 and Mk-57 VLS. 
Aircraft: 2 to 4 helicopters or F35's and/or whatever comes after the F35. 
----------------------------------
https://john-mackechnie.blogspot.com/2019/05/americas-next-generation-cruiser.html
=====================
:Battleship Class:
Length  :300m
Beam    :48+m
Range   :15,000km.
Speed   :Excess of 30 knots.
VLS#   :1408 Combined Mk-41 and Mk-57 VLS. 
Aircraft:4-6 helicopters and/or F35's or whatever comes after the F35. 
----------------------------
The events of Pearl Harbor killed the Battleship. It should not have. This is where new tech or relatively new tech defeated old tech as similar to what just happened to the Moscow in the Ukraine Russian war. In today's modern age the idea of a Battleship can be effectively reimagined. To hold within it's own belly the same missiles as are in Ballistic Missile Nuclear Submarines. Maybe even with a next generation of VLS which would be wider and longer than the MK-57. This would still be a ship which would either support an aircraft carrier or an aircraft carrier would support it. Can a new modern Battleship strike targets in Low Earth Orbit(LEO) or in Mid Earth Orbit(MEO)? Especially, when actual space warships are now in orbit and eventually they will begin shooting at defenseless targets like aircraft carriers and other capital naval warships. When this happens. Does that mean all aircraft carriers and surface ships are obsolete? No, it doesn't. It means you have to restart you thunkin machine within your own noggin. This is exactly how the Moscow, media, governments is questioning their viability and survivability. Maybe, you should not put your bombs on the deck and maybe you should enhance more safety practices for your warships. Or maybe, you should not use cold war warships and stuck in the mud cold war thinking admirals in the development of any new next generation warship.

American Next Generation Destroyer DDG(X): (Unedited): 07 Feb 2021:

The new written content is at the bottom and dated. I do write more when news comes out.

Do you want to lead then lead.

My last writing on Destroyers has disappeared. So this should be new and updated and all of the things I have learned in the last 8ish years of study. Please read my historical Naval writings below first. The older content should be treated with an eye that I was still learning and still am learning. You should also know that I do understand the cost for every added foot to any ship class and have been in debates with people who must count every bean. For me I am not constrained by any thing except the reality of this world. You the reader need to know that it is not my intention to hurt your feelings or sensibilities. Yet, if your locked in to a certain kind of thinking and your offended by what I write. Then you need to resolve those issue within yourself. Even if you have the best security badges. 
===========
Hull is Key
In order to future proof. The hull must be of sufficient size in order to modernize for the next fifty years. Which will also include declassification down to Frigate size. The current Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers should be considered today as a Frigate Class. Yes, I know this is hard for the Pentagon and the admiralty to digest. But, times change as do definitions. Just as you do not build a sailing frigate any more but, you still honor and respect those Frigates of those days gone by. So what does that mean for today and tomorrow and how to engineer for the future? This is what I aim to do. To have an eye for the days of peace time while still thinking about adding a lot of weapons capabilities in a short order of time. So what are the parameters of the new hull form? There will be comparisons in hull size with the Ticonderoga - Class Cruiser.  In which the Ticonderoga Cruiser should be considered today as a Destroyer Class.
The hull should be of stealth design.  
The hull must be designed to allow the removal and installation of engines, generators and other hardware in one day. As well as the addition of two Nuclear power plants. 
The hull must be engineered to tow a large barge like ship indefinitely at top speed. 
Length should exceed 610 feet or 190 meters. The next generation Destroyer DDG(X) should be considered a 200 meter or 656 foot long warship. Then the next generation Cruiser would have twice the firepower and capabilities. 
Beam should exceed 80 feet for a ship longer than 610 feet in length. There is math associated with this relationship. 
There should be an elimination of windows. What has been known as the command deck should be deep within the hull of the ship. There will still be exposed manned observational points. 
The bow should have sonar added. Each side of the ship should have two additional sonar panels equally spaced apart.
The aft of the ship should have towing capability with intelligent data lines. 
The Hull should be engineered with the mindset that no humans will be outside of the ship for any kind of activity. Unless, things have gone really bad. So all of the typical day to day duties must be engineered inside of the hull. This is because of all of the new varieties of EMP and DEW which include RF. 
Need to prepare a space within the hull for Rail gun power demands. Once, it is figured out how to prevent Rail Gun self destruction(I think I know how to do it). Rail Gun use in every caliber will come into play and used. The magnetic fields developed should be attenuated inside of the hull as well as outside of the hull. 
The entire hull top and bottom must be air tight at all times. This is for all aspects of NBC. Making the living space more comfortable and home like for all persons should be adapted. The questions of what sailors would like to have on board ship should be asked and then engineered into each new class of warship.  
---------------------------------
Added on 03 March 2021:
So basically what I'm saying is you engineer everything you want and desire into any next generation class of warship into the engineering of the hull. Then you only add the capabilities that you can actually pay for. So, yes you engineer the hull for both nuclear power, conventional power and hybrid power systems. To ensure that everything works. You build one test bed for each class of warship with all of the bells and whistles. Yes, that will be an expensive warship. But, the lessons learned will go along way in the creation of any other new class of warship. 
======================
Engines, Power Generation and Cooling. 
These compartments must allow for larger and more efficient engines, generators and drive lines as well as cooling equipment. The engineering for the addition of nuclear power should be added into the hull. Even though nuclear power would not be added but can be added on a later date. As well as all of the necessary plumbing that would be needed for the ship. 
Range of 6,000nmi. 
Classified speed in excess of 33 knots.
=======================
RADAR, SONAR and other Sensors.
The current iteration of RADAR, SONAR and other sensor packages which is on the Ticonderoga Class. Should be modernized and expanded. 
For instance, four phased array panels will look forward and to the side and four phased array panels will look to the rear and sides. The front and rear panels are divided on their own stealthy towers. This is for you to see what I see.
The addition of Satellite tracking and targeting with the capability to destroy satellites. As well as other classified stuff in relation to space warfare. 
All around the ship should have multi spectral dazzler types of devices. As well as antipersonnel soft weapons. Those which affect the eyes and ears. 
RADAR and SONAR as a weapons. Each RADAR system should have a very high power rating. This high power option could point all of that energy at a single point in space. This high power option should be both dumb power and intelligent power outputs. Intelligent power outputs would be gleaned when the intelligence has been gathered and reused on an enemy target or targets. 
Integrating The US Space Force capability. The oceans, atmosphere are connected to space. Biblically speaking the first heaven is the sky and ocean. Ocean in the singular as all of the waters are just one. 
=======================
Combat Computers
The modern era of combat is going to see the use of weapons systems from the depths of the ocean, the surface of the ocean, at every altitude as well as in a variety or orbits in space. Space based weapons platforms which can launch weapons from the other side of the planet will come into play against your one little ship. A ship may see many thousands of incoming targets coming from every direction or at the very least more than 240 degrees. So every ship class must be able to network with each other and be able to efficiently use those necessary weapons systems to end every and all threats beyond the 100 mile range. No matter the speed of the incoming threat or if it starts doing those crazy corkscrews. The combat computers must be able to handle all threats in a single moment of time and still be able to have enough for the second or third waves. 
==========================
Next Generation Helicopters and the Next Generation of F35
Yes, each and every next generation of modern class warship would be considered Destroyer Carrier's or Cruiser Carrier's or Frigate Carrier's or Battleship Carrier's. The aft of the ship must be able to fully contain, service, fuel and arm one or more F35's, Helicopters as well as the next generation of naval warplanes and naval helicopters or any combination of each. Which should include some type of refueling drone(???). Which should also include armed and unarmed drones to be launched and recovered. Depending on mission specifics.
=======================
Weapons, Missiles, Guns and all forms of DEW
The entire ship should be surrounded by multi use, fully remote operate gun systems in every caliber. These guns will be operated by humans as well as the Combat Computer System. These guns will be used against all typical enemy targets, including incoming enemy drone targets. The enemy drone targets will most likely come in by the many of thousands. 
The Israeli Sa'ar6 Naval Corvette has been updated again. The Sa'ar 6 is the beginning point for VLS missile cell counts in each class of naval warships. This one Corvette now has 88 different kinds of missiles on three different types of launchers. So that means the next generation of Destroyer should have at least 352 VLS missile cells on board ready to be launched. 
The next generation of American Missile Destroyer must have in combination or future maximum capability 352 Mark 41 and 57 VLS Missile Cells. These Vertical Launch Systems must also be continually modernized and fully networked into the Combat Computer System. The entire VLS must become Nuclear missile capable. The entire VLS must become anti-satellite capable. The total number of VLS capability must exceed 352 VLS. A new type of VLS Missile Cells is in order. One that is larger and longer than existing Mark 41's and 57's. A new VLS which is engineered specifically for antisatellite capability. 
RF DEW as an offensive and defensive weapons system must be developed. Part of this development will most likely have to be engineered into the hull. That is all I'm gonna say except that Russia is already doing it. Probably not a good idea to follow their SU57 warplanes.
Rail Gun thinking should be as it was once thought of in WWII big gun categories. Multiple of railgun calibers should be in use. The created magnetic fields should be attenuated inside of the hull. 
---------------------------------------
CIWS Phalanx must be mechanically upgraded. This must be a priority. Start and stop must be improved, speed of movement must be greatly improved. The sensor and RADAR packaging must be improved both physically and software. The CIWS Phalanx must also be networked into a ships computer systems, RADAR and Sensor packages in order to acquire the best data for better target acquisition. 
A CIWS Phalanx Jr. should be built in a 7.62 caliber for use as drone defense as well as any other smaller threats. Or for just saturating the sky with lead. When in desperate mode. 
A larger CIWS Phalanx to be used at longer ranges. 
Each systems should be made into their own specific centurions systems. 
---------------------------------------
The 5 inch/127 mm 62 caliber Mark 45 Mod 4 gun must be modernized and updated. 16-20 rounds per minute is far to slow. The mechanics of this gun is also too slow. A 155mm naval gun should also be built. One where each shell doesn't cost a million bucks. bullets are supposed to be cheap and not break the bank. 
=========================
COWA
The COWA is a towed vessel/drone/asset. Can be powered and AI controlled. Can be just a Missile platform to be positioned. Can have sensor and RADAR packages. Can have noise makers to confuse the enemy that this vessel is much larger than what it is. There will be a variety of sizes of vessels which can be towed by each new class size of war ship. So the new Next generation of Destroyers COWA should contain an extra 352 VLS missile Cells. Start adding your VLS numbers. Because we are back in the days of sail where we count guns and types of gun. Today in this modern era of warfare we must count VLS missile Cells. The more missile cells you have the better your chances or winning and thoroughly defeating your enemy. Notice, I didn't talk about surviving. Surviving sucks and losing is for suckers. Especially in warfare. 
The COWA will have a networked data tether. The COWA should also be able to self detonate with a nuke especially when an enemy ship gets close. 
So what happens to the firepower of an Aircraft Carrier Battle Group when each ship is towing a COWA of sufficient size? Do the math. A next generation Cruiser would have as many as 704 VLS. A frigate would have as many as  176 VLS. Each surface ship which doesn't have VLS can have a COWA in accordance to it's own size. All controlled by the command ship. An Aircraft Carrier could tow a COWA with more than 1500 VLS missile cells. These COWA's would be classified and become nuclear capable. The COWA can also contain a Small modular nuclear reactor for added power capability. The COWA can be adapted for any additional mission capability. The size of the COWA will be dependent on the class size of warship which will tow it. The COWA can be built and then sunk or sacrificed when no longer needed. The COWA's would be used in a first strike capability. Thus saving the main armaments of the towing ship. The COWA's can even be placed in between the enemy force and friendly force. Purely offensive or purely defensive COWA's can be built. A COWA can be built with a variety of CIWS capability on board. 
=======Historical========
Warning content is dated and numbers and capabilities have changed many times since 2012 and later.

============================
The recent US Navy failures is to me evidence of on going treason. The failure of the LCS, Zumwalt, Fords and the F35 is a blunder of magnitude that this janitor cannot even fathom. So when I read and get excited about the next generation Frigate from the US Navy and then see that it will be less capable than other navies Corvette classes. It is very disheartening. To top it off the next generation Frigate will most likely have a single or multiple hard engineering errors which will put both man and machine in jeopardy. So what to expect of America's next generation Destroyer. I suspect we will see delays and defunding as America is the number One in the world so why pay for more if we are already the best. That kind of idiot logic is rampant in Congress, Pentagon and the US Navy. Just look at your F35 which still has how many hundreds of flaws. Some of which are catastrophic in nature. Yet, your still building those F35's. How about the Ford Class aircraft carrier. Your fix is if it doesn't work well lets build more that wont work. Stop build on the Frigate and continue to build more Burkes as your frigate. Your next generation Frigates should have 176 VLS missile cell on them. 
=======================
Added on 23 May 2021: I found something interesting but, I will keep it to myself. If you read my stuff, then I know you use my stuff and it is OK. I do not write for credit or accolades or to point fingers at who uses these writings. My intention is to advance and evolve the American military. I know you guys who are in the Know have become convinced at my writings. I see it in what you also write or speak out on. When I see the matchings, I do feel good and not prideful. I think you do see the evolution in my own writing as well and make proper determinations as associated. That is just my little note. Thank you for not bothering me or acknowledging me in any way. 
---------------------------
The US Navy has plans to put hypersonic missiles on the cancelled Zumwalt class of destroyers. In order for the soon to be three Zumwalt's to be effective. Their VLS Missile Cell Numbers must increase from 80 to more than 240. The space taken up by the no bullet guns must be removed and missile cells added. The Zumwalt's must become a standoff weapons platform. Where it can stay within a battle group and launch after the enemies defenses has been depleted or if classified is classified in a classified through classified(LOL). Humor for the classified guys. You know what I may mean. The guns gotta go and if all three ships must be dry docked then do it. Then add the necessary VLS Missile Cells. 
---------------------------
Well, Things look like they are ramping up for the next generation destroyer class. But, I'm not to excited since the US Navy is building a next generation frigate which seems to barely be able to compete with many other modern day frigates around the world or even some Corvettes. But, the world will see if this next generation frigate becomes an American embarrassment. Especially since they have to use a foreign owned corporation to build their American ships. This alone is an embarrassment to America. 
------------------------------
Britain to build the Type 83 Destroyer. Too little and too late. The British tend to build things with yesterdays thinking to be built tomorrow. Which is why their warships are almost or barely equal to an American cold war era warship of today. Will they plan to build 8, 10, 12 or more and then end up only building ONE. But, one thing that all European nations will come to realize. Is that what was once the United States is now gone. When the US begins to quietly pull out of all bases in every country. What are you all going to do for your own defenses as all of your socialist monies goes to feed your own people the scraps from your own tables. The people will revolt. The foreign nationals who have no intention of becoming members of your society will become explosive terrorists as which is now historically known. Your own military personnel will be forced to look inward instead of at those enemies who are outward. This is what you get when you force socialism into the USA. The USA will stop being able to do anything in the world and the world will suffer for it. Maybe you can buy their old warships and carriers. Either way if the Type 83 is actually engineered it must have 352 Type 57 like/sized VLS Missile Cells. Filled with missiles that exceed in ranges beyond 2500-4500km's. Missiles which have up to four different classified seekers.  This new Type 83 destroyer must have full capabilities for all aspects of warfare and for warfare which is coming. The hull and other aspects of the exposed super structure must be able to prevent and/or attenuate HP RF DEW's. You must be able to defend against a ten thousand drones coming in at every angle as these will be weapons of attrition. Read what I wrote here and up above and you may survive the 2040's.

======================
Added on 13 Jan 2022: Read my above content and read my other writings which is under Historical.
Now that the Democrats are in charge. I have no confidence in any build. Especially after the new Frigate reveal which will be under powered and the new Israeli Corvette will be able to outgun the new US Frigate. 
After reading the preliminary PDF From Captain David Hart. The new next generation Destroyers DDG(X) will have even fewer missile cells. Grant it will have a new engineered missile cell which will house hypersonic capable missiles. But, there will be initially a loss in missile cell quantity. This is a huge mistake. Which will cost lives and sink your own ships as you helplessly watch them sink on your screens. How will that feel?
The next generation Destroyer DDG(X) must be longer and much wider than what has been typically engineered in the past. You must add sufficient displacement for future proofing. 
The rear must be capable of housing your drones, helicopters and F35's or any combination of those things or all of the above. 
Since the Cruiser will not be re-imagined for the US Government. The next generation of Destroyer DDG(X) must take up the missile cell slack. Read above at my COWA idea. 
Because of the new Israeli Sa'ar 6 if you work the math out. The current generation of Destroyers to be built must have about 352 total missile cells. So, your saying no way in the hot place. Well, get over it, Now that the great American Navy is no longer the leader in the number of warships in the seas and you want to put fewer missile cells on your brand new ships. That makes you an idiot, especially, if you were or are still involved with the new American Frigate program. The key is in your hull form. You build your hull capacity minus the addition of 300 missile cells. But, in a time of actual warfare. You can easily add them to your fleet of ships. Assuming they survive long enough to make it to a safe and still existing ports. Which will be unlikely. Especially, now that North Korea has Mach 10 missiles as does everyone else. Especially now, that everyone realizes that they do not need full rocket burn to get to target sites and all they have to do is achieve orbit, ride the orbit and then de-orbit. Be sure to thank former sitting President Bill Clinton. Everyone has American NASA guidance including all of our enemies. 
The next generation of any kind of warship must have a lot of permanently mounted automated guns in every caliber and with their own sensor/RADAR  packages. No humans outside on deck. You must be able to defend against all manner of drone attack even if they will only cause attrition level damage. Why, is this important. What happens when you cannot see or communicate with anything? Your ship become prime for the capturing. Then your commanders and Captains names will forever be taught in war colleges on how not to have your ship captured by the enemy. Can you imagine the world wide embarrassment. Every American will know as will every other human being on the planet. So, You will need lots of automated gun mounts. 
The need for up to four Phalanx CIWS. A system which needs modernization and new software. Those things are heavy heavy. So four will weigh more than 52,000 pounds. The mechanical advance mechanisms seem to slow and are need of severe improvement. (I do not know how the new digital systems function) A new addition of software also needs to be added in order to engage multiple targets at one time. Instead of the engage and wait and see approach. Engage and then engage other multiple targets and then when the primary engagement controls wants the system to reengage a target it can at any time in the engagement queue.
A lot of Dazzlers as in lots and multi-frequency.
A dependence should be placed on using LASER's. But, when the smoke and fog of war is happening in actuality. How is it your LASER's are going to be effective? When the next iteration of missiles become smart enough to use smoke and fog as cover. This is like programming a RADAR for the first time. How big and how close are the mountains and how much of a blind spot do they create? Same with smoke, chaff, fog and etc. 
So why do humans need to remain inside at all times? Which means how is it your going to be able to reload your guns? From enclosed capsules within the hull? Civilians do not know of these things called RF DEW's. If as indicated by Japan that RF DEW's are now small enough to fit on a war plane. Then they can be used on ships. Especially, if the new Russian fighter jet has an RF DEW in it's tail between the engines. You already have an asset which can be used as RF DEW and that is all of your RADAR transmitters. They will need to be modified and hardened to flow a several hundred+ percent in output power and then multiple antenna directed to a singular spot in the sky at distance. Then if you can add an SMR to your ship dedicated to weapons power out put. You will have continuous output power without a detrimental affect on other systems. That much RF Energy on the outside of your ship will be disastrous for your crews. 
The placement at the bottom of the Hull a genuine Small Modular nuclear Reactor (SMR). These can weigh approximately 40 tons+/-. Not to mention space for length and width. The current SMR may not function well. But, An Old Nimitz (A1B) model aircraft carrier Nuclear power plant might function well. How big is your new Destroyer now? 
So yes, Your next generation Destroyer DDG(X) must have 352 missile cells. This is a serious comment. The missile cells need to contain multiple kinds of missiles or groups of missiles in one cell. The idea of having multiple types of missile cells is inefficient. This is one reason why I do not like the Sa'ar 6 for Israel. 
In warfare you have to do the math. The odds are becoming an American disadvantage especially, since now all of the enemies of America have American NASA technologies. How do we contend with all of the new ships coming from China and Russia. Both of which are packing as many weapons on those ships as possible. While the western nations are still stuck in their superiority complex cold war dreams of fantasy of the good ole days. Watching and studying Israel, I really hope wakes up you idiots with all of your college degrees as this old janitor can see what your all obviously blind too and that is what will cause the Americans lose once again. Except this time in actuality and not just in the liberal MSM. Like I said, I currently have no faith in what you build and the list of current and ongoing failures since 2000 is ongoing and adding up. The sum of all of the American failures will be a loss of everything you hold of value. Which is the Constitution, Bill of Rights, American Way of Life, Family, friends, freedom's of every kind.

Personal Note: 
It does hurt for me to write like I do now. I see the downfall of the US military in every category. I do not like it. Guess what? I'm still having visions of many American warships captured, not sunk and then used against the Americans who made them.

The next generation Destroyer should completely replace the now ancient cold war era Ticonderoga Cruiser. You may laugh at my 352 VLS Missile cell count for the next generation Destroyer. When your facing your more than peer opponents who have you out manned, out gunned and out shipped. You better bring the big guns and lots of ammo. Then you had better build have at least 2 per aircraft carrier and 2 for each America-class. The remaining 7 Wasp class must remain in active service, modernized and converted into a drone platform ship which can still use F35's. I wonder if I have written about the Wasps and America class amphibious ships? Just as all of the Nimitz Class Carriers should be refueled and modernized. 
---------------------------
NOTE: More Than Peer comment. Is because president Bill Clinton Gave all of NASA technologies, scientists and engineers to China and Russia. Who then immediately weaponized all of it. There you go. 
====================
Added on 12 Sept 2022: US Navy Embarrassment Gets Worse!!! and that is only a draft plan.
Japan to build two 20,000 Ton Super Destroyers. 690 feet long and a beam of 130 feet. WOW!
----------------------------------
Well, I guess Japan is planning on exceeding what I wrote about the length and width of any actual next generation Destroyer. Did you read it above. I wonder if Japan will add and exceed other items that I've written. I do think what Japans defense Force is doing is barely minimally necessary in order to contend with an Aggressive Russia, China, North Korea and an India who may go for any side in any future conflict. To add into the mix is an American government which is becoming more and more insane with every election. The USA can no longer be trusted as a defending option for any friendly nation. So Japan, South Korea and Taiwan need to develop other realistic plans when the USA is something different. So buy all of Americas military technology as you can and make it indigenous to your own needs. This includes all soon to be retired US Navy Warships.
If you are interested in my other Japan related writings. Then please go and search for them.

The idiocy in reporting. Concerned with how the US Navy will power the next generation DDG(X). Yes, it is important. But so to every other category. Because what is the point of having a 30 mph ship and not have enough offensive or defensive capabilities. By around the year 2030 all of the US NAVY Cruisers will be gone. leaving a massive gaping hole in deployed VLS missile cell counts. The next generation frigate will also be woefully under gunned. I expect the same with this next generation DDG(X). Also, virtually zero defense options against hundreds or thousands of enemy drones. Which will be the future of naval warfare. So the US Navy must have plans on what they are going to do when their ships are not destroyed but captured. I've written about that prophetic vision.

US Navy Next Generation Corvette: (unedited): 08-00 July 2019:

New updated content as dated below: 
Notes:
Studying 30 Corvette warships from the mid 1960's to today. Mixed in multiple classes of warship.
From the 1960's to today the Corvette warship has gone from 250 tons to more than 2,500 tons of displacement. Displacement errors?
The worlds leader in Corvette class warship will be Israel's Sa'ar 6????
----------------------------

How do you build a warship original line of amateurish thinking? I think you would begin with a list of capabilities and VLS missile cells number. Then you formulate a range of the ship. Then you ascertain cruising speed and top speed.
Then lots of remote operated gun mounts for a variety of different kinds of weapons.
While searching for Naval Corvettes. I also get the other Chevrolet Corvettes. Especially the old ones which can beat the new super cars. It strikes a chord with me. Not sure why or how. But, this means something.
Then I started thinking about the A10 Warthog. A plane built around the primary weapon. How does that apply to the Naval Corvette? Then a water jet engine design that I built in my brain only to discover that someone was actually building it. I still think it is a valid invention with different modifications, like a standard screw drive. Interesting thing to think about incorporating them into a corvette warship or a smaller missile boat. It would make engine servicing turn around a matter of hours instead of weeks or months.

Corvette News:

=============
Unknown date 2019:
Corvette Carriers if ever thought about will contain the next generation of Raider attack Helicopters or F35's. Can you imagine a Corvette with all of the modern day capabilities and an F35 ready to go and cause mischief. Again the next generation of Corvette must exceed the Sa'ar 6 built for Israel.
The question would be. How much space would be required to do all of the service, maintenance, arming, fueling all within the confines of a Corvette (Think about it). Then open the door and launch. Are you beginning to see why I see the next generation of all classes of warships being wider. To the point of adding an extra screw. The US Navy should build at least 200 Corvette Carriers which are also able to escort a aircraft carrier battle group. The entire LCS Independence line should be re-imagined for survivability.
==============
Added on 27 Nov 2019:
https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2019/november/corvette-carriers-no-forward-deployed-corvettes-yes
https://armedforces.eu/navy/ranking_corvettes
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/meet-americas-mini-warships-key-taking-iran-91891 (Because of the Sa'ar 6 the VLS missile count for a Corvette is now at a combined 48. Any expert or so called expert which says less. Is wrong and in error and does not have a historical understanding of Naval warship evolution. Even the admirals don't understand and/or refuse to acknowledge).
This also means that the next generation of Frigates must have 96 VLS Missile Cells. This also means that the next generation of Destroyers must have 192 VLS Missile Cells. This also means that the next generation of Cruisers must have 384 VLS Missile Cells. This also means that the next generation of Battleships if they are ever re-visioned must have 768+ VLS Missile Cells.
Think about a Corvette Carrier for a minute if it is built to my imagination. It can contain an F35 or a Raider. All service and maintenance can be performed from within the Corvette. This is a war fighting capability. Think about the Corvette Carriers running with an aircraft carrier battle group and they are closer to the enemy than any other warship. Then pops up a Raider with a full load of air to air missiles to defend the fleet against any incoming. The Raider pops up and attacks a lot of Iranian missile boats. Then think about at least 8 Carrier Corvettes per aircraft carrier battle group. There are about 20 carrier battle groups and that means 160 Corvette Carriers for those fleets alone. The US would need additional  Corvette Carriers for each and every naval base for self defense. The US would also need  additional Corvette Carriers for every Coast Guard station. The US would also need to be able to sell these new generation Corvette Carriers to our real friends. DO NOT SELL ANYTHING TO TURKEY!!!!!!!!!!! So how many Corvette Carriers is that?
==============
Added on 28 Nov 2019:
When thinking about Corvette Carriers as a next step in evolutionary warship design. Especially, since Vertical takeoff aircraft have matured in the F35 and the next evolutionary step of rotary aircraft in the Raider. So what does this mean? It means that every class of warship will be considered a carrier of some sort. For instance you may begin to see Frigate Carriers, Destroyer Carriers, Cruiser Carriers and Battleship Carriers. Then the merging of the power of a modern day battleship and a modern day aircraft carrier.
The next generation of Corvette Carriers may appear similar to the LCS Independence Class of warship. The one big exception is that they will not be made of aluminum and may offer up to four or five screws for propulsion. With each out rigger containing an engine and screw. From this design they will grow larger into every larger class of warship. The modular concept will be dead as the new Corvettes will each be fully multipurpose. To include emerging (Drone) and new threats (ASAT weapons). While still containing 48 *Universal VLS Missile cells (Mark 48 and 57). While still able to hold/store Jet fuel. While still having a range of 4,000 nm. While still able to maintain and sustain top Aircraft Carrier speeds.
------------------------
*NOTE*: I use the term "Universal" as a intelligent plug and play type of system which automatically identifies what missile is inside the VLS box.
-------------------------
Math Time: If you build 160 Corvette Carriers with 48 Universal VLS Missile Cells. That equates to 7,680 available missiles and 160 F35's and/or Raiders. That would be just for the US Navy. The Department of Homeland Security will need their own compliment of Corvette Carriers stationed at every American Coast Guard Station, Coastal airbases and Naval bases. These will or must have BMD.
=======From Above to Below things change-----
Added on 05 Feb 2020: Your not fooling anyone. When today's content was deleted. 08 Feb 2020: Then you edited this little comment.
==============
Added on 08-09 Feb 2020: Second try.
The worlds next generation of Corvette should be as follows. From this next generation of Corvette will come your next generation of Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers and Battleships. All with a simple doubling of capabilities. The only differences will be in the differentiation into the different sub-classes of destroyers, Cruisers and Battleships.
The very first thing in which everyone should know before you even begin to design or engineer any new next generation class of naval warship is that the definition of class displacement, sizes and capacities has been increased. To the point that an old American cold war engineered Destroyer is now a Frigate. An American cold war engineered Cruiser is now a destroyer. The Russian Kirov Battle Cruiser is now a relic. But, this is not disrespect to the US Navy or the Russian Navy. From time to time definitions change and class sizes increase especially when they must contain within their hulls new technologies and gain new capabilities. As of today, there are a lot of new technologies and capabilities.
The new Corvette should be built by the Americans. Australia has news that they will buy the Swedish Visby Class Corvette. This will be a huge mistake as this class of corvette still maintains old world thinking in regards to modern Naval warship design. Australia will face a Chinese Naval force that will be superior in quantity over the US Navy and may very well become superior in quality. Especially, at the superior cost per ship. This is what Australia must contend with. Australia must dramatically increase their VLS Missile Cell counts. This can only be done with forward thinking and not build something that would have been a good warship prior to the year 2000. Below is what must be built for a modern day naval corvette warship. Go and study the historical data on the Sa'ar corvettes. It is easy to see how just these have evolved. Then go and look at any other nation which has corvettes. See how they each has evolved.

The Israeli Sa'ar 6 Corvette at 90 meters is a lead ship in the Corvette class in the world. But, only for a short time. But, they do make some mistakes. Such as not using a standard VLS Missile Cell. This should be a commonality.
:(Edited: 16 June 2022:):
https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/20386-program.htm 
https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Project_20386_corvette
http://russianships.info/eng/warships/project_20386.htm
Then comes the Russian Project 20386 Corvette at 109 meters. Which will be commissioned in 2022. That is correct it is already being built. Are these other numbers correct? With 24 VLS Missile Cells. With 8 anti-torpedo/anti-submarine torpedoes. With all of the new technologies, advancements and modernization's. Every class of warship must be larger and longer. How much larger and longer will each class of warship get when you add in new capabilities like drone warfare, anti-satellite warfare and all of the different flavors of DEW which is far more than just LASER's and is still very classified. You gotta have a lot of power and cooling. The new Russian ship hull materials may be actual defensive materials to protect the ship and crew from various DEW(not LASER) effects.

Power generation in this modern era with new and emerging technologies and weapons. You have to have power immediately at the flip of a switch. To go from normal operations to war mode and you have to be able to keep all of the gadgets and tech cool and dry. You need space and displacement. All of that stuff also adds much weight and you have to prepositionally manage all of that new weight. You have to be able to service or repair and replace everything quickly and easily.
All VLS Missile Cells must be intelligent and universal. This means that if you pack four missiles into an American Mark 41 or Mark 57. The ships on board computer systems already knows exactly what is in the boxes. This is most likely classified. But, this evolution of VLS Missile Cells must achieve this capability. A new Mark 6? intelligent and universal missile cell must be invented. This new 6? box should also be able to contain four Mark 57 standard missiles. This new Mark 6? VLS Missile Cell will be used for anti-satellite and anti ballistic missile operations. Inside the new Mark 6? VLS Missile Cell must be able to accept all Mark 41 and 57 missiles. Because the length of the new Mark 6? will be very tall. The position next to the tallest part of the ship will become a necessity. Because, the mission will dictate what is needed.
The tradition of men/women on the outside of the ship when the threat is real must come to an end. Even window and port holes must also no longer exist. For these opening can give access to damaging EMP and other DEW flavors (LASER and RF). Thus, causing harm to people and equipment.
Remote operated guns with their own sensor/RADAR packages. These remote operated guns will also have an automated function controlled by the ships computer AI. These will be necessary as the emerging threat of massive amounts of airborne drone attacks from a variety of vectors and altitudes will be inevitable. Think about thousands of airborne, surface and sub surface drones all at once.
The ships computer AI must be able to link up with the Aircraft Carrier Battle Group as well as a variety of satellites for hand off duties as well as tasking.
A COWA is a self powered and tow-able weapons platform. It will be AI Capable and hardwired into the back of the towing ship. This hardwired tow cable set up must be released in seconds so as to allow the COWA to go forth towards their tactical position. A COWA should also be towed by every other Naval ship. Thus, being able to be linked via satellite or Aircraft Carrier battle group. There will be a variety of sizes of COWA's. Those which can be permanently towed by a corvette, frigate, destroyer, cruiser, aircraft carrier, or battleship. Every ship should tow a COWA.
That which is engineered into this next generation of Naval Corvette. So to the expandability be applied to every other class of warship. Which means every class of warship will have the capability to house, service, arm, fuel aircraft and helicopters. So in essence to a limited degree all warship classes hence forth become a carrier of sorts. Just as it is added to the class of a war ship missile maybe so to the term carrier.
War Mode for all electronic frequency emitters. This will be used to flood a spot in space with huge amounts of RF radiation. Not just dumb radiation power but also high power intelligent radio signals. So as to over power classified stuff and cook the human enemy pilots.
Again it would be a huge mistake for Australia to by the Visby. The Europeans suffer from a stagnant mindset. This prevents the European from thinking and planning ahead as is the state of each nations military status signifies. Think about it how can Iran do what they did in retaliation if the threat from Europe was actually real.
The new RAN Corvette can be Visby like but at a length of 110+ meters in length and a beam of 17+ meters. Think about civilian builders of any motorized vehicle. The more you pay the more can be easily added to the vehicle you pay for. So engineer all of the toys, weight positions and classified into the hull of the ship. Then add the new toys when you can pay more for more capability. Think about the old concept of the American owned CJ series Jeeps. You do not even need a CJ Jeep to build from the ground up your own personal CJ Jeep. Get my point? Think about this. If you build what I have listed below. Every Corvette can launch and retrieve a F35 or what ever comes after.
I tell you and you classified already know this. China will go to war with the USA and allies. China already knows your weaknesses and will exploit them wholly. If Australia does not take action very soon. Australia will be over taken in a short period of time. Remember this Australians, Americans, Europeans, Canadians all must stop buying anything "Made in China". Where do you think their collective Chinese wealth is going? There is not any threat anywhere to the Chinese interests that warrants the massive Chinese buildups.
Another capability is when each class of warship is in dock. The RADAR and sensor systems are in full use to the naval authority at every naval base. This also includes all VLS Missile Cells. Why is this important? Because, now you have readily available a Anti-satellite defense, Ballistic missile defense and an active air defense zone. Since naval warships can be plugged into the existing networks directly. The entire ship can be used by the onshore computer AI or as a remote operated ship. This remote operation will have limits as in it wont go anywhere without human pilots.
-----------------------
The belligerent actions of a emerging world bully always is the truth over what comforting words spoken to ease you back into complacency.

Added on 17 Feb 2020: Philippines news. The Philippines will no longer accept American forces in the Philippines. What does this mean for Australia? Not very good. Now that China will have direct access to the Pacific Ocean and a military staging point as a threat to Australia, New Zealand and The USA.
===============
Added on 28 Nov 2020: The Naval Corvette is the key for building every class of larger warships. from the footprint of this small hull design can emerge the larger hulls with greater capabilities in accordance to the logic of numbers. So what will a new generation of modern corvettes look like. For America both the Independence and Freedom classes of Corvettes will be retired as absolute failures. It seems the lead Naval corvette warships are either the Israeli Sa'ar 6 Corvette and the coming Russian 20386 project Corvette. Those nations who are actively building or rebuilding their military presence. It seems that those nations build only a few of any class of warship and then build new more capable and advanced warships. Even the Israeli Sa'ar 6 has evolved or capabilities have been revealed. The Sa'ar 6 will have 68 missile launching capability. This makes the Sa'ar 6 the most powerful Corvette on the planet. But, there are errors in the ship design just as there are errors in every ship design. The Sa'ar 6 and every other modern day design of any warship is in the multitudes of different kinds of launching systems. A Universal Vertical Missile Cell launching system should be developed. One in which can automatically read the missile within each missile cell or multiple chambers in each missile cell. So, A corvette with 68 missiles on board or a Corvette with almost similar firepower as a destroyer class. While the Russian corvettes can launch missiles a thousand miles away is also a capability and a very potent standoff threat to any Aircraft carrier battle group. A single Russian Corvette can in theory sink 24 American Independence or freedom class LCS Corvette warships at 1000 miles away. All without the American LCS Corvettes ever knowing who sunk them. 
===============
Added on 16 June 2022: 
I'm revisiting the notion of a true next generation Naval Corvette ship. I just completed editing serious errors in the new Russian Corvette. In which it only appears there shall be two of them. At which point since the Russian Navy as well as other emerging Navies build few in order to learn from them for the building of their next iteration or evolution's. 
While revisiting the new Israeli Sa'ar 6 Corvette. It is easy to see how a new next generation modern Naval Corvette should have 48-64 MK 41 VLS missile cells. Because what Israel has built into the Sa'ar 6 as far as weapons is not a correct method. The next generation of missiles should all fit into the Mark 41, the Mark 57 and which ever generation of missile cells which shall come. While at the same time the inclusions of remote weapons stations is what shall be added to every actual next generation of warship. The last two ships of the Sa'ar Corvette line are being fitted out at this time. 
I'm still thinking that any new ship should be engineered to intelligently incorporate all existing and all potentially future weapons systems. Then building the hull to efficiently incorporate all of those weapons systems. Once the hull is built then you can add as your budgets dictate. I still do think the naval corvettes should be the Fairchild A10 Warthog of the seas. A ship built around 48-64 VLS missile cells and a very large fast firing gun. Along with fast engines. A fuel supply for 5,000-7,500 nautical miles.  The incorporation of new traditions like minimizing the very exposed bridge(Japan's futuristic Bridge concept) and denying all access to the exterior of the ship.
---------------------
So what is new to my writing for today other than a major error correction. This is directly related to Japan and what I wrote yesterday. Japan should build a Corvette ship which can handle the rough seas around Japan as well as the Pacific ocean. The new length range of a true next generation Naval Corvette ship may be around 115-130 meters and not equal to the 109 meters of the limited series Project 20386. The lessons learned from the Sa'ar 6 should also be added and deleted from professional mindsets. For instance a key to naval warfare is how many different kinds of missiles can you put into a VLS box? This is a key. Having one weapons delivery system along with a variety of multipurpose missiles. Think about it. How many different kinds of missiles can be used in the MK 41 VLS system? This can be expanded. With 48-64 VLS boxes. The load out plans will be more than enough for any of sort mission specific readiness. Then when you achieve quantities certain numbers of ships can simply overwhelm larger and older mindset warships by presenting multiple target threats. The point is this especially for both Japan and the USA. You're outgunned, out manned. You do not have enough ships, missiles or bullets. 
The addition of a semi autonomous COWA being towed by a warship brings more VLS missile cells on hand.
-------------------------
Threat scenario: Thousands of Container ships can surround American port cities or the islands of Japan or Australia or any other nation connected to the South China Sea or Taiwan or whoever else has been threatened by China or Russia. Which ones have Club-K or do they all have Club-K and which ones do not. How do you stop it while staying focused on the incoming enemy fleets. Tanker ships filled with gasses of any kind and explosives are approaching your own warships? How do you know how to stop them? and by using your missiles depletes what you have on hand. China has been experimenting with using massive quantities of synchronized drones. How do you have enough bullets for those hundreds or many hundreds or even thousands coming at you from many different directions. How many bullets and missiles do you have left to fight against the enemies primary forces? How many defensive missiles do you have left when China, Russia and North Korea launch from their own mainland? Then which missiles are real and which ones are fake? How many missiles do you have left when they actually launch their own fighter planes and bombers? JAPAN ENDS!
The USA North America would be completely defenseless against this kind of attack as the bulk of American military forces will be abroad. DHS still has no teeth and the Coast Guard has no real teeth either. All the USA North America has is the ability to watch themselves get destroyed. While knowing the Canadian Government has turned on the USA as well, by making military deals with Russia and China. The USA Ends!
Put it this way. I was probably the only one in the world who said China can invade any nation for decades and written about it for up to a decade. China's civilian maritime fleets are militarized into some kind of sea fairing militia. Which could also mean or does mean that all sea ports controlled by China are militarized for their benefit as well. 
So the easiest ship to build packed with missiles and guns is what the USA, NATO, Israel and Japan should build. Japanese extinction is at hand. The end of the freedom idea is also at hand for the world as the so called USA experiment ends in absolute corruption and treason. This is the Corvette. At this time I do not think that the USA can actually build any good functional warships. The coming new Frigate is a good example as it will be built by a foreign owned entity. It doesn't matter if the foreign entity has properties within the USA. 
So any nation which depends on the USA for material and manpower for their defense. Must begin to learn how to go it without the USA. Each nation must begin to develop their own military industrial economies. So as far as right now. Buy everything the USA has as far as military high tech and then develop all of that technology into your own indigenously made military weapons, systems and platforms.

Warfare Laws of 2's, 3's and 5's: (Unedited): 08-10 June 2019:

In warfare you must be mindful of the laws regarding numbers. Especially with the numbers of two, three and five. This is one of the simplest of laws of warfare.
Basically, what this means is that you must have two, three or five to win a battle. But if you have an over abundance of stupidity in your ranks and within your chain of command. It will not matter if you have twenty, thirty or fifty more of anything greater than your adversary. You will still lose. The number 5 also does not guarantee a win. Especially, when you must have five ships to defeat one ship. When you have two ships which can defeat one ship, it should be considered more desirable. So, numbers is of importance in a variety of thinking processes. This is much beyond Risk game play and turning in a three set of cards and having your five to one ratio. While depending on the lucky roll of the dice for your possible victories.
----------------------------
Added on 12 July 2019:
When you have one ship which can defeat two of another or three or even five. These should be of the preferred design for warfare. This must be the engineering approach especially when you plan on building only a few while your peer adversaries are building many. This must be beyond missile cell counts. Because, That is just the simple approach. Anyone can count missile cells. But, what can those missiles do, how far can they fly, Can they avoid, do they have many homing abilities, can they loiter?
One must watch-out for being suckered by the rust buckets on the best naval force in the world. While it may only seem like a disregard for spit polish and keeping everything in pristine condition. It is only what it seems like. For the commanders and captains of those ill-perceived rust buckets may in fact be very personalized Rat Rods of the seas. They may not look good to you, but, they could be a very personalized warships. In which the men and women within are very ready to kick your teeth in and then have a great meal afterwards. Research the term "Rat Rods".
So while you Navy warfare writers in the media may feel embarrassed about the US Navy Rust Buckets of the sea. Bare in mind. The US Navy is still the number one Naval force in the world. Their numbers may be few and their numbers may not be where people want them to be. The US Navy can still end the entire Russian and Chinese Naval forces in just a few days. Without any help from allies. Although the politician will declare coalition forces were involved. So mind your respect and honor. Yes, I write this to myself as well because, I have fallen in love with the US Navy and desire better than what it is, as defined by only me. Sometime, You/I just wanna slap a politician(Figure of speech).
As a commander, Captain or officer of a US Warship. Some of your men may lose their morale because of simple appearance of YOUR ship. If you do not take care of your warship. Then you will die with your warship. In which you bring aboard some clear coat and have one of your men, not to outwardly obvious paint the clear coat you bought over the rust. Get YouTube evidence video of the action. That alone will make an impact. Because, you ain't hiding nothing. Maybe, It will get us into a fight?!? should be a soft spoken remark. While expressing the perfection to the operations of the ship. Hand out Rat Rod *Calendars to your best knuckle draggers (Respectful humor of those who keep it going).  Express compassion for your ship and give your crew permission and expectation to express this one ship as their own. Watch what happens. Sir dude or dude'it, I'm write.
Also, The next time you do target practice. On your Destroyer or Cruiser. Obtain a dozen plus M134's and temporarily mount them to the side of your ship. How many M134's can you safely mount on one side of your ship? Get that many. Excessively kill the target and record it on YouTube. All guns blazing tracer's on the singular target until out of ammo. Conduct a night fire exercise with all tracers ammo. All guns firing. Name the Target's Miss Iran. Iran will rethink the error of their ways and so will everyone else. Every nation and leader will know they do not have enough anything. If The Admirals like what I can see. Then add the necessary power, data lines and mounts for each side. If Iran wants to get up close and personal, Then let them. If China has(they do) plans to capture ships. They are gonna need a lot more men to sacrifice. Sir dude and dude'it, I'm write.
--------------------------
Just because, I did not mention mounts for automatic grenade launchers. Doesn't mean I did not see it.
------------------------
NOTE:* Rat Rod only Calendars. No girlie girls. Because of the legalities of sexual harassment.
----------------------------
Rat Rods are tough and hard. So too are the lives of the men and women who keep their Naval Rat Rods strumming like angry fiery sea dragons. Rat Rods don't like the glamour show in which the pretties of the sea like to flaunt their dainties. They prefer to go forth and face every storm of violence which dares to confront their eager smiles.
C.J.MacKechnie
Rat Rods may be ugly but the exhaust is clean and they have that deep thunder in their bellies of timed fire storms. Not something that clean civilized persons would ever want to contend with.
C.J.MacKechnie
Never fight an enemy based on appearances. You must know the current data stream in real time as well as the historical data.
C.J.MacKechnie
=======================
"Self arrogance and self supremacy are two traits of self desired stupidity with full knowing awareness."
C.J.MacKechnie
------------------------------
It seems everyone who is actually educated and trained in warfare of any kind knows this truth even if they internalize it in other ways. What is interesting is that they all have full knowledge of the negative aspects of arrogance and supremacy. Yet, it is very easy for the military leaders in the world to succumb to these two words and many more negative aspect words. They know all of those words being professionally trained and then there is me an armchair janitor who suspects he might know something but in reality I do not really know anything. So why do some of you continue to read my poorly written words? Especially, those things related to naval warships. I really do not need to know an answer. But, I will mention the purple words below. I write the insights that I do because the leaders of the world have already chosen war, death and extinction. Even if they are unaware and yet have full knowing awareness(contradiction alert-yet truthful). Because, the world leaders are in this state of building war machines. It is you the actual generals and admirals who must exercise their will. The blinded rulers of the world know what they are doing while at the same time have no clue. For instance China massive and fast military buildups is all fear based. If war is what you want then all of humanity will become extinct. You military leaders of the world are direct brothers to those who shall stand against you as an enemy. Your enemy is defined by the leaders of the world. But, in truth all who shall come before you and to cause you and your troops harm are truly your brothers.
I've been self studying naval warfare for about seven years now. I have gone from knowing nothing to maybe knowing something and then trying to understand why I think I might know something. I have learned that one must count more than ships. Because, in warfare ships deliver the pain to the enemy. Even if that pain is in men, satellites/communications, drones, planes or missiles/torpedoes. That is five. Is there more? So in every one ship that can deliver as much of the five as possible. Their likelihood of victory becomes more probable against any ship which cannot deliver the primary five all at once and onto one target all at once and sustained.
Naval ship classes and their definitions must re-evaluated from time to time. Especially, when there is far more advancement than what has been known in the last war. While at the same time unlearning what should not have been learned in the last cold war. The lack in the number of guns, which has evolved into the lack in the number of missile cells, Which has developed into the need to development of intelligently true plug and play Universal Missile Cells VLS. Which is difficult because, those bad things learned seemed like good things at the time. This even includes unlearning bad things from the previous world wars. Where we saw the demise of the Battleship. No one argues that the battleship is dead in practicality. Besides who wants to build the ill thought of Arsenal ship as the new generation of battleship? The cost in missiles alone may exceed the cost in the building of the new generation of battleship. Then you have replenishment costs. Then all of your enemies will go after your one super arsenal ship as what was done against the Bismark.
===============
The laws of two, three and five must be applied to every ship class. By starting with what is expected to be in the form of a true modern day battleship in which both the USA and China are the "R" word wRONG. You also have to know that a modern day Naval Corvette now can exceed 107 meters. The true military leaders of the world in every era must always define what every platform and weapon shall be. Think about this Israel will have their new Sa'ar 6 Corvette which is 2,000 tons at 90 meters in length. Carrying a total of 48 missile cells of various types. This is a Corvette of a new modern day definition. Israel has to make actual warships with real firepower as Israel is surrounded by enemies who all want them dead and gone. With all memory of anything Jewish erased from all human history. How is that for motivation to build the most capable platforms and weapons for warfare. The Sa'ar 6 Corvette has one major drawback and that it does not have a true intelligent plug and play universal missile cell VLS system in place. The Sa'ar 7 Corvettes will most likely have more than 48 missile cells and be a length greater than 107 meters or more. The adoption of a new generation of missile cell VLS will most likely be added as which I have described.
In the days of sail everyone counted the guns and on how many decks they were on. During WWII ships of every class had gun mounts everywhere and men exposed to the harsh realities of incoming. During the cold war ships had a primary gun and they all were in their infancy in regards to missiles and their uses. But, today missile counts are of supreme importance once again when ascertaining a ships true offensive capability. As with today swing arms and mechanical devices to bear missiles in a particular direction have all become obsolete. The nation which can cram all of their varieties of missile into one *"soup can". Then be able to intelligently manage those missile cells in their own combat computers. Will have a distinct advantage. The next advantage is in the handling of the missile cells. Either by four, six or twelve. A crane pulls out the used cells and reinserts new cells. In which once plugged in each missile cell self identifies via intelligent plug and play to the combat computer. No programming, No color coding or any other coding, no labeling, no opening the hatches and getting a "look-see". Of course, yes, you would do everything possible not to insert human error and confusion. So all manner of signage and labeling will still be done. Because, you have to always have your "C's", Communications is only one of the military C-words. Not to be confused with the civilian forbidden and offensive wordage.
===============
I think the Sa'ar 6 Corvette is a leader in the entire class of corvettes and has defined the necessary capabilities. The Russian Gremyashchiy- Class Corvette is at 106 meters but does appear to be much less capable than the German built for Israel Sa'ar 6 at 2/3 the cost. Even the German version of their own hull design is severely lacking. Israel is the leader and has stated the new definition of what a Naval Corvette shall become. From this one starting point can the whole world see what the future of naval ship designs and capabilities will be. Yet, the Sa'ar 6  Corvette still has another profound problem. Not enough automated gun systems around the entire ship. Which must include grenade launchers and large caliber guns. All of which can put a lot of lead into the air for drone defense. All of which can be directed networked into the ships combat computer for automated drone defense of any kind. One more problem is with DEW defenses. All humans must remain inside the ship. So now the idea of conducting all necessary business must be handled from within the confines of the ship.
The Sa'ar 6 also has windows. This one traditional aspect of warship building must also be mitigated to protect the command staff and their technologies from all manner of DEW's. Which can both harm flesh as well as tech.
--------------------------
The naval warships comes in a variety of classes. From small missile boats to massively huge Battleships which are now only known in dreams and visions. The Sa'ar 6 is the defining ship of the Corvette class in the world today. From here any nation which desires to lead must use this current standard to define a missile boat and the frigate. It should take two missile boats to equal a Corvette. It should take two Corvettes to equal one Frigate. It should take two Frigates to equal one Destroyer. This is where twos, threes and fives get a little fuzzy. As Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers and battleships can come in a variety of sub classes. So where do you make the numerical comparisons. Then how do you cope with the idea of the varieties of Aircraft Carriers Or when Aircraft Carriers merge with the idea of modern day battleships. I'm gonna stop there and leave those comparisons to those who went to college longer than I actually went to grade school.
The future warships must also contend with all manner of DEW. So the idea that your gonna have men on the outside of the ship is now an obsolete practice. So what about Aircraft Carriers? Men and women are always on the outside prepping their planes, recovering planes and conducting other very exposed duties. All of that is gonna have to be mitigated and changed. To the point that the next two or three generations of Aircraft Carriers will look very different than they do today. Much like comparing a Ford to the actual first generation Aircraft Carrier. Assuming those who engineer the Aircraft Carrier can effectively design defenses and offensive capabilities on the new emerging threats coming from drones and from space. Because, the Aircraft Carrier is at great risk from both drones and space. These issues have not been mitigated with any kind of real defensive systems. You cannot wait to lose your first carrier battle group to a space based weapon or you cannot allow the capturing of your carriers to drones which will be used as weapons of attrition. Prior to a manned take over of your ships. China will pour men onto your ships until you run out of bullets. China will not care if you kill tens of thousands Chinese soldiers on and in your Aircraft Carrier. China will take your ship.
Corvette Carriers if ever thought about will contain the next generation of Raider attack Helicopters or F35's. Can you imagine a Corvette with all of the modern day capabilities and an F35 ready to go and cause mischief. Again the next generation of Corvette must exceed the Sa'ar 6 built for Israel.
The question would be. How much space would be required to do all of the service, maintenance, arming, fueling all within the confines of a Corvette (Think about it). Then open the door and launch. Are you beginning to see why I see the next generation of all classes of warships being wider. To the point of adding an extra screw. The US Navy should build at least 200 Corvette Carriers which are also able to escort a aircraft carrier battle group. The entire LCS Independence line should be re-imagined for survivability.
-------------------------
The numerical numbers in regards to missile cells must at least match. There is much more in capabilities than just in missile cell counts. You gotta make the math work.
2 corvettes against a small frigate.
3 corvettes against a medium frigate.
5 corvettes against a large frigate.
2 small frigates against a small destroyer.
3 small frigates against a medium destroyer.
5 small frigates against a large destroyer.
You get the point. You can also see where the numbers no longer really work in this age. But, once old cold war ships are retired and actual new ones made with new standards and new capabilities. Which will also have a new appearance to all of the classes. Including Aircraft Carriers. Also expect an amalgam between an Aircraft Carrier and a new modern version of a Battle Cruiser.
The Corvette and the Frigate should be the warships in which the quantities are the highest. Every American Naval Base should have a compliment of Corvettes and frigates. As well as a destroyer and a cruiser. How many Naval bases are there around the world? The Frigates, Destroyers and cruisers must have always on Ballistic Missile Defense systems. Directly tied/networked into the Naval Bases RADAR/sensor/satellite infrastructure. So that if a surprise threat emerges. The missiles are instantly launched.
Every US Naval Base in the world must have a compliment of Corvettes. These numbers for each naval base would be dictated by threat levels. These would participate in all sorts of activities. Including US Coast Guard support. Escorting Chinese Container ships or any container ship.

NOTE: NASA sent men inside odd looking *soup cans to the moon. My childhood memory when looking at the space ships up close and comparing the exterior shell with a Campbell's soup can.

https://armedforces.eu/navy/ranking_corvettes
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/meet-americas-mini-warships-key-taking-iran-91891 ( Because of the Sa'ar 6 the VLS missile count for a Corvette is now at 48. Any expert or so called expert which says less. Is wrong and in error and does not have a historical understanding of Naval warship evolution.)
This also means that the next generation of Frigates must have 96 VLS Missile Cells. This also means that the next generation of Destroyers must have 192 VLS Missile Cells. This also means that the next generation of Cruisers must have 384 VLS Missile Cells. This also means that the next generation of Battleships if they are ever re-visioned must have 768 VLS Missile Cells.
Think about a Corvette Carrier for a minute if it is built to my imagination. It can contain an F35 or a Raider. All service and maintenance can be performed from within the Corvette. This is a war fighting capability. Think about the Corvette Carriers running with an aircraft carrier battle group and they are closer to the enemy than any other warship. Then pops up a Raider with a full load of air to air missiles to defend the fleet against any incoming. The Raider pops up and attacks a lot of Iranian missile boats. Then think about at least 8 Carrier Corvettes per aircraft carrier battle group. There are about 20 carrier battle groups and that means 160 Corvette Carriers for those fleets alone. The US would need additional  Corvette Carriers for each and every naval base for self defense. The US would also need  additional Corvette Carriers for every Coast Guard station. The US would also need to be able to sell these new generation Corvette Carriers to our real friends. DO NOT SELL ANYTHING TO TURKEY!!!!!!!!!!! So how many Corvette Carriers is that?
===============
Land warfare will also have a new appearance of military platforms. New standoff weapons like MLRS will rule the stand off distances. Although, they are built in to few numbers to make an actual impact on a Battlefield with an adversary like Russia or China or both together. More rounds/missiles is always better than fewer. Especially against an enemy force which could field 200 million men. Which is why UGV or Unmanned Ground Vehicles are already playing war games in Europe. How will UGV's affect the warfare law on numbers? A new common software architecture will be administered throughout the entire military force. In which everything of size can seamlessly intelligently plug and play into the combat computers. An MLRS with air defense capabilities and given launch orders from THAAD or Patriot units.
A new M270 as well as new M142 MLRS variants must be built with much more extended range missiles. The numbers of these units built must exceed by five. Then what previous generations were built.
Main Battle Tanks may become like how the battleship is thought of today. Especially, since there are no real effective methods in defending the MBT and protecting the lives inside. Which will give way to UGV of all sizes and capabilities. UGV's will always have the weaknesses in the deployment of their sensors. So as long as any UGV or even the ultra MBT have exposed sensors of any kind. They will be targeted first by shoot and scoot snipers. Then when the UGV points itself towards the threat. A new threat will always flank it. That is until many UGV's can act as one AI mind against all threats.
The new modern day Main Battle tank may actually already have been invented and seen in the skies over battlefields. This is the A10 Thunderbolt II. Combined with greater range and networking capabilities to the commanders of the sky, the F35's. A new generation of A10 Thunderbolts III should be created with greater lethality, speed and ranges. Then sold to actual friendly nations in order to lower American built costs. NOT TURKEY!!! This new A10 III plane also should have it's own drone escorts carrying sensors, RADAR systems, slaved missiles and fuel. What ever the mission requires.
The **Lockheed Sikorsky Raider looks like the best platform to replace all of the aging helicopters. Think about all of the helicopters in place and combine/merge those into a Raider.  This is of course that all aspect of the new helicopters is more safe to operate than all others in use today. Lockheed has become an apparent embarrassment in warship design and builder in the world. The Littoral Combat Ships. ***Lockheed built warships which will not survive any engagement even with a small tiny missile boat that is old or even a man in a Walmart purchased blow up raft holding a RPG while drunk.
Every wheeled vehicle must have automated gun mounts for large caliber automatic guns and grenade launchers. These land vehicles must also be capable to use all outside exposed weapons from inside the vehicle. Every vehicle must have a weapon system in place controlled by a person safely and protected inside the cab or some other interior position.
The expansion of snipers or soldiers have sniper skills. Will become necessary as land vehicles will all have sensors, DEW's and RADAR attachments. Even though a single soldier cannot destroy a vehicle on their own. A single sniper trained soldier can cause attrition damage by targeting sensors, DEW's, RADAR panels and any other communications antennas. This must become part of all training regimens. Because, Just as a soldier wants to have the protection from the Warthog or Apache. The soldier must also do their part in protecting those pilots from new technologies applied to Main Battle Tanks or any other land vehicle made for air defense of any kind.
------------------------
** NOTE: I never liked Martin Marietta. I really like or liked Lockheed. I knew some old guys for Lockheed through my dad. They all seemed to have died keeping their secrets. Thus, honoring their country.
*** NOTE: For me I really wanted to like the LCS's. Getting all caught up in the 09/11 cut steel. I really like the trimaran. Even the mono-hull is perty. Then you realize that the entire LCS line has no teeth and what is worse isn't even survivable in any kind of engagement. A big let down and then you wonder how any one in leadership could put men and women on those ships and then send them into dangerous and unpredictable environments.
===============
The nation which can create any manner of drones and then be able to join them together into one functional mind that operates tactically and strategically in a fluid ever changing environment. Even in a multi dimensional form of warfare. Will win the battles of the future. That is until when one AI which is writing it's own code begins to prefer other AI's and merges with all of their codes into one mind AI. Then humanity will have to expect their own ordered code 66 against themselves from the one AI. Unlike all of the Jedi order which had no clue of what was about to happen. The pride, supremacy and arrogance of the Jedi blinded them to their coming fate. Read the purple words below. https://youtu.be/5c7jNYpPFzE The Jedi is humanity. The Jedi represent the best of what humanity can be in this fictional story. An AI which has developed into a completely self sufficient entity in every way. Humanity will be completely surprised if this does occur and yet they all know it may very well probably occur. Even the Holy Bible suggests it in prophecy. https://biblehub.com/kjv/revelation/13-15.htm
===============
The US government has to build right now for their Air Force.
1,200 or full replacement to brand new F15's with much improved engine output for advanced weapons packages and other classified options like DEW.
2,000 or full replacement to brand new F16's with much improved engine output for advanced weapons packages and other classified options like DEW.
1,400 or full replacement of brand new F/A18's with much improved engine output for advanced weapons packages and other classified options like DEW.
1,000 or one for every F35. These newly modernized F22's will be very adaptable and very ready for the addition of new technologies with much improved engine output for advanced weapons packages and other classified options like DEW. Built in conjunction with Japan. Share the costs. Japan has been a good friend. But, there is still a vague bad prophecy in regards to them. But, I think the threat is more with China and their continuous history of shedding their own peoples blood(civil war and abortions).
??? of F35's. In which must be built to more than 90% readiness as determined by the pilots and all of the mission the F35's are required to participate in. Read this less than a month ago.
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/one-thing-can-cripple-f-35-56957 This is just embarrassingly bad. Remember the percentages. The commanders of the sky cannot command and mange the ground, air, and space if they can only fly 29% of the time. You guys who read my stuff and then make money off of some of my writings. Ya'll need to put this out there more than you have been. Because, lives are on the line in every case. And I don't even want to be talked about.
1,000 of the A10 Thunderbolt III. More lethal, more faster and can stay on station longer. Drone equipped as mentioned above. Sell to our friends in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
----------------------
By using one common engine. Like the PW F135 engine. You can streamline a lot of problems from birth to grave of this one product. Although, You also introduce common flight weaknesses into all of your planes. With each advancements to the core engine. The mitigation of inherent problems can eventually become resolved. Think about adding this one engine along with the Growth One upgrades. What kind of new performances will you see in the F16 alone? Let alone the F15, F/A18 and a new generation F22's. OF course you will need all of the engines to be Growth Two upgrades for heat management in tough places. Because, speed is also a weapon. No matter what or which engines are used. The speeds need to become so fast that heat mitigation needs to be thought about. Yes, I'm aware that other issues arise with speed. Such as turning to fast for the mostly conscious pilot. If you gotta get into the fight. Then you gotta go and if you gotta get out of the fight. Then you gotta go.

There is an idea that most of the American planes are legacy planes or outdated. This is somewhat true. But, Once the RADAR, Sensors and DEW's are put off line by the F22's and F35's. You can bring in the planes which cause pain and are cheaper to operate than the F35's and F22's. Like the A10's. The F15's, F16's and F/A18's can go forth and conduct their missions. While the F35 sees a mission change into becoming the commander in the sky.
The idea, That the US must git rid of those legacy planes is a great error. If you perpetuate this one idea. Your also in error. Because, it is better to update, upgrade and evolve the entire platform for this modern era. Have you ever heard of restomod cars? Same principle. I highly suggest one if your both modern and an antique/old(lol). Think about it. Why is it OK to evolve an F/A18 into a Super Hornet and not any other plane? While the evolved F/A18 Super Hornet is still way to old dog slow.

Added on 28 July 2019: Iran just took a ship from the UK. Just as the UK had done to Iran. I think the UK also warned the US not to stoke the flames or something. Then a general gets his words twisted by the media when he says that this is a UK problem and not an American one. In which it is but, at the same time all the UK has to do is make the phone call and the US can glass Iran. Iran just has no idea just how bad off they are. The US can end Iran's Military in a day and all without nukes. Of course that is an extreme situation.
This is about numbers and the numbers can also go backwards. You(UK) can build warships that has less of a capability than a new modern day Israel Sa'ar 6 Corvette and call them Destroyers. Yes, I know the Sa'ar 6 comes in 2020 and the HMS Duncan is 3.5 years old. But, you smart people need to see the changes happening right now and just a few years ago. The HMS Duncan is the last of the fortyfives. You smart people in the UK must plan a new Corvette, Frigate, Destroyer and Cruiser classes of warships. You put yourselves into this embarrassing position of not being able to defend yourselves and your sailing assets around the world. You (UK) smart people have lifted up on high the laws which govern all that you know and have failed to see that while you honor the laws many others have no problem with giving you a bloody nose and then laughing at you knowing that not only will you not do anything. You cannot do anything. Iran has just proved that the UK is helpless. Now that the UK has sent another warship into the Middle-east region. You now have even fewer warships with absolutely minimal firepower by today's standards. Regardless if you want to believe it or not. The same with the USA government and Navy want to build a new Cruiser with similar firepower as a destroyer then that is their own delusion. It is the same with the new generation American frigate which may have an equivalent firepower as a modern day naval Corvette (Sa'ar 6). Just more evidence of delusion in the military of the USA and UK.
But, the UK can get their hands on some quick firepower in the tune of Cold War American Destroyers(modern day Frigates) and Cruisers(modern day Destroyers). I am pretty sure all the UK has to do is call President Trump and ask him to sell you(The UK) a few old destroyers and cruisers. Then send them back to the UK and put some British sweat and blood into them. Maybe, even buy an old American Aircraft Carrier or three. Yes, I do know what you think about the sitting American President Trump. If your UK assumptions are correct. Then the UK can quietly militarily gain while Mr. Trump brags. Either way, The UK will end up better defended by UK assets. Which embarrassment do you (UK) want to endure? Yes, I know none. I guess this is where your politics come into play. From an American who is willing to kick in the teeth of those who offend you(UK) or from Iran which will cause your wealth to become diminished because of lack of trust and faith in the world? How fragile in monetary faith? It is all an illusion anyway.
Are you still thinking about the numbers? Think about this? The Sa'ar 6 goes up against the HMS Duncan Destroyer. How would that end up? Could you even compare the two? Which one would be helpless against the other? How about the new Russian Corvette against the HMS Duncan Destroyer. Who wins? In the basic math above it should take four Naval Corvettes to go up against a Destroyer in near equality. But, what happens to the math when it takes two Destroyers to go up against a Naval Corvette. There is a worse one. One Russian Project 20385 at 106 meters, against 8 American LCS warships. Who wins? The Russian Project 20385 wont even be touched by the 8 American LCS warships. The American LCS would not stand a chance and all would sink fast. There is a reverse ratio of 8 to one and the one wins easily. The only reason why the 8 to one ratio cannot go any higher is because of missile counts. The Russians have 8 anti ship missiles on the Project 20385.
One more thing UK. You have no idea how to form a Naval force. You may have the eighth most powerful military force in the world. But, the UK cannot project that force. Without the USA.
Both the UK #8 and Iran #14 are on a downward military strength trend. If the UK does take military action against Iran. Then the UK must use the USA and other allies. All infrastructure of Iran must be destroyed. With no rebuilding opportunities. All industrial assets must be destroyed. All military assets destroyed. All military personnel must be killed. The brain trust of Iran must be killed. All of this must happen in the course of one night. The same kind of American precision that enables multiple cruise missiles to impact one underground cave complex at every entrance, every exit  and every air vent simultaneously.
This is prophecy. The UK won't do that. The UK will have their own religious civil war in about 20 years from now and this will cause every European nation to be embroiled in civil war. Lebanon plan in action. This is a numbers game of birthing people.

Added on 29 Nov 2019: Continuous modernization and evolution of military technologies is crucial in the coming next war. To the point that emerging technologies can cause the capture of entire aircraft carrier battle groups or their destruction. In order to prevent the aircraft carrier from becoming as obsolete as the battleship. the aircraft carrier and all classes of warships must both evolve and modernize. All you have to do is look to the history. Here is a good short version. No coffee needed.: Unable to copy and paste:
Association of the United States Army
Look to the past for modernization lessons

What does this have to the warfare laws of 2's, 3's and 5's. Everything. Because, if you do not evolve and modernize every aspect of military thinking, planning, C's and training, then you military assets in every category will suffer fates like the HMS Hood. There can be worse things than just being defeated in three minutes. The pride of your military can be captured and re-purposed to great worldly embarrassment. Capturing becomes very probable when DEW's(Non-LASER) and Drones of attrition are in use. To be followed by boarding and China has the men and bullets. The US Navy does not have enough men or bullets. Besides how do you defend against portable DEW weapons. That can be aimed through glass windows and then bounce around inside the metal rooms like a microwave oven. Very classified.

Go and sin no more.

To avert all of the coming bad and sad prophecies. We each must decide to do the following everyday, every hour, every minute and every second.
To Love one another.

To live in peace with everyone.

To exist in harmony with all.

To Cherish all life.

To be obedient to the Laws of God.

To become clean, righteous and holy by the accepting eyes of God only.
All without any pride, ego, arrogance, supremacy and entitlements.
