US Navy FFG(X) Lockheed Martin Entry in 1/350 Scale HD

This is a 1/350 scale depiction of two of the FFG(X) entries by Lockheed Martin in the FFG(X) competition proposed by the US Navy. But, on On May 28, 2019, Lockheed withdrew from competition so their design will not be the FFG(X) design. I am now hoping for the Bath IRon Works work with Spain and Australia to develop an AEGIS Frigate very similar to the Hobart DDG, but with 32 cells, full AEGIS, and a little smaller than the Hobart. She will be a powerful FFG. I had hoped and expected these entries to win the competition, however, as stated, in May 2019, Lockheed removed itself from the competition in terms of a prime contractor for a vessel. These means that these vessels will not be built to compete. Lockheed will be co-contracting with whomever does win in order to help that winner integrate into the US armed forces electronics and battle management system. Perhaps they decided that profit was more of a sure thing and they need not risk large sums of money on two ships that may not win. I am sorry to see this, but it is the decision they made. My number one hope for a winner now is the combination of Bath Iron Works/Spain/Australia with an AEGIS frigate that will be similar to the Australian Hobart designed AEGIS vessel that is based on the Spanish F-100 AEGIS frigate. Although there are five entries altogether, this is the entry I thought might win the competition and finally at long last give the US Navy the combat capable full frigates it needs, and has needed now for almost 20 years after first the de-teething of, and then decommissioning of all of the Oliver Hazard Perry frigates which were then either sold, or disposed of in SINKEX exercises. But, last month Lockheed dropped out of the competition. I suppose that with as much electronics, particularly in interfacing with AEGIS ships that any of these frigates are going to have to work with Lockheed to make happen, that they decided that they had a higher margin in that effort with a much smaller risk. So now, I am hoping that the derivative of the Spanish F-100 and Canadian Hobart class will win out. Those are true AEGIS ships and are very well armed and would fit like a hand in glove already with our operations. I will go ahead and keep this up here because it explains so much...but these vessels will not be built now. They Oliver Hazard Perry class had grown inadequate to modern needs, although some countries, like Australia, upgraded theirs with new sensors and 8 cell Mk-41 VLS cells to help keep them adequate. But that was still not good enough for the long term. The LCS vessels are being upgraded to what they will call an "FF" but they will still not be fully combat 2 or higher capable for main line support of carriers or ARGS. So the Navy finally did what they should have done to begin with and established a full FFG program and called it the FFG(X). The five contenders for the FFG(X) are: - Lockheed Martin,s heavily upgraded, redesigned FFG(X) proposal - Aust
