Udaloy-class Light Cruiser

Since I've got the itch (& time!) to design again I thought I'd start with an odd idea that'd I'd been thinking of for a while - a Starfleet design with twin engineering hulls.

DESCRIPTION AND NOTES
The Udaloy-class Light Cruiser was introduced three years after the Galaxy-class Explorer and borrowed many features from Starfleet's flagship design. The Udaloy is extremely unusual in that it's one of the few vessels produced by Starfleet with twin engineering hulls, each fitted with it's own small warp core instead of a single large core as standard. Appearance-wise the Udaloy-class is simply a scaled-down Galaxy with a second, near-identical engineering hull mounted dorsally in a mirror-image to the usual ventrally mounted secondary hull. Closer examination shows that there are slight differences between the two hulls: only the ventral hull has a deflector dish, on the dorsal hull this is replaced by a pulse phaser array mounted in a quad barrel configuraion, around a heavy torpedo launcher; in addition the shuttlebay at the rear of the dorsal hull follows the same orientation as it's ventral counterpart instead of being a direct mirror. The two warp nacelles are connected to both the engineering hulls by identical curved pylons so that from the front or rear the design has an oval outline.
The Udaloy-class was designed as a general purpose Light Cruiser and was given a wide-range of equipment enabling it to perform nearly any role required by Starfleet, if not quite as well as more dedicated designs. The desire to fulfil as many different functions within a single design is what lead to the extra secondary hull as volume requirements increased. Due to it's large, well equiped shuttlebays, a common configuration when used in a combat mission was as a carrier for the early versions of what eventually became the current Starfleet Attack Fighter, although Andorian Defence Force fighters were just as frequently carried.
Recently the class has undergone an upgrade to improve and overhaul a number of systems. The already extensive medical facilities have been boosted with the addition of an advanced shipwide EMH capability, which also allowed the fitting of holocommunications. Weaponry was left untouched since the design is no longer intended for a combat role, although shielding was strengthened and upgraded with multi-spectral generators. Modern automation techniques actually reduced the number of crew required to operate and maintain the ship with the excess quarters now taken up by extra scientific personnel and passengers.

DEVELOPER'S NOTES
Note that there is only a single pulse phaser array even though their are 4 individual cannon, as SD says they're only usually built with paired cannon.

Are you Russian by chance?

Last I checked that class name has been used for the newest Russian Navy Destroyer. My udnerstanding she's a good ship but lacks the multiple tracking sensors that the US has.

[Calcoran]

Doesn't it look a bit too much like a D'deridex, from the rear at last?

IIRC, the Sovremenny came out 3-4 years later. The Udaloy is a fine design, although as is common with many Russian designs it's a bit overloaded with weaponry & sensors (early versions were missing the SAM directors when first built though), what it lacks compared with Western designs is advanced command & control systems, ie AEGIS.

Calcoran

Potentially, but you'd also see the saucer as well, which is the biggest component of the hull. In addition the pylons are far smaller than the "wings" of the D'Deridex.

I would also imagine its Starfleet White and not Metallic Green...

Which would help reduce unfortunate accidents with paniced midshipmen being trained on Tactical...

Actually, Udaloy (Daring, in English) entered service two weeks before Sovremennyy (Modern, in English), but Sovremenyy was launched two years earlier, and started building one year earlier that Udaloy. The most recent Russian destroyer to join the fleet is the Udaloy II class ship Admiral Chabanenko, which was orignally intended for the KGB's maritime border patrol. The Chabanenko has anti-ship missiles in place of the anti-submarine ones carried by the Udaloy-class, and has a shorter range. Currently, they're working on the Project Grom "Universal Surface Ships" guided missile destroyers. I think Grom might mean thunder in English, but I'm not sure. And the project name generally is not what the class name ends up becoming. The Sovremennyy-class, for example, had the project name Sarych. (Buzzard)

It's sad to see such a worthy advosary slowly wither away like this. And the worst part of it all is that most of their hardware is being sold to the Chinese, which for the first time are gaining the potential to be a True Blue Water Navy and will thus switch the power balance that Japan and the United States currently have in the region.

And Poor Philippines is stuck with one outdated WWII Destroyer and a couple Corvettes. How Sad is that.

Things could still get confusing. The Praetorian Fleet uses a white paint scheme. Granted you don't usually run into a Praetorian Guard vessel everyday, so I guess that twitchy midshipman at tactical is safe for a while yet.

jesus, And philippines NEEDS a navy too! especially because its an island nation. How the hell do they expect (I'm philippino american, but born in philippines) to gain control of the spratlis that way? At least they still have excersises with the US Military, and I think Philippines bought a few JAVELIN units

I'm an American Filipino myself, and I do agree that PI (RP) needs a navy. However at this time they can't support a large navy, or coast guard at that. Most maritime duties are covered at the provincial level, but even that is grously understrengthed. Javalin units? Last I checked the last military appropriations initiative went down the tube when the economy took a dive for the worst back in '98. For Christ sake they couldn't even afford to upgrade from their F-5Bs to a better aircraft. But their strength lies in their Helicopter force, 100 plus strong due to internal strife.

As far as American Involvement that may be less then likely, we want a base down in the South China Sea, but the Philippines have already 'civilized' Subic Bay and Cebi Point (Believe me I know, my family is from Olongopo and my Grand-Uncle sits on the governing committee of Subic Bay Free Port). Furthermore, Singapore and Vietnam are looking to have the base their.

But I tell you now, Spartly Islands, claimed by most everyone in the region and LARGE potentiol to hit Oil underneath the waves there.

I saw a bunch of pics browsing through usmc.mil about excercises with the philippine marines. I also saw a pic and description of a marine training a philippine Anti Armor Team with a Javelin, so I assumed that they purchased some. The spratlis IMO is rightly philippine's but it shouldnt be strip mined for oil, it should be turned into a resort/marine sanctuary. Either that or they should find another way to get the supposed oil that is underneath.

Guys, there are plenty of places to discuss the Filipino military and the situation in the Spratly Islands if you want to. It's not really an appropriate topic here unless you relate it to Trek gaming in some way.

Clearly, the Chinese are the Rommies, (Or Breen, or Klingons, or what have you)and the Phillipines are the Kzinti, or some other minor power, and the Spratlys are an asteroid belt rich in Dilithium. :-) But then, we'd have to take this over to the Ready Room... That or come up with stats for the Jianghu-class warbird.
