You sure about the other 4 being scrapped??? I seem to remember an article in a newspaper only a few years ago about the possibility of 2 of them having their missile's stripped out , sailed down to Manila in the Philipines and turned into alongside nuc power plants for the capital
.
Must admit that they are pretty impressive boats being larger than the RN's Invincible class carriers( they're only 20,000t !!! ). Amazing to think that there are 3 pressure hulls in there too. 1 each with one set of missiles per side and the command and control in the middle below the sail connecting both hulls.
I'll look forward to seeing this progress. I'm about to make a start on the design of my own WTC ( Water Tight Container ) for my Trumpeter 1/144th Seawolf SSN before I start on drawing up plans for scratch building a stand off scale Astute class SSN.
