I'ld stick the 2x2 ssm behind the bridge. FL3000N where the missile director in the rear used to be (or close) and a flight deck. 2x3 ASw tubes. A coupe of 20mm cannon.

Apples and oranges:

well I like to compare taste when i drink fruit juice, i think we all do and that is why we have our own favorite fruit, mix fruit juice is different thing though

 

[Penguin]

so?

Yeah, that's about it. As for sensor fit, the rear director (on the rear mast here) is no longer needed. Sensor fit could closely follow Type 056. It would be usefull if the helicopter could be rearmed and refueled on board (even if there weren't a hangar - for storage and maintenance), which would imply some (protected: self sealing, lightly armored) aviation fuel storage below the flight deck and possibly also some (lightly armored) magazine space for additional ASW torps and/or other heli armament.

Seriously, there is a difference between 3,510 nmi (6,500 km) at 18 knots and 10,000 nmi (18,520 km) at 10 knots

Below is for commercial shipping, but illustrative of the shape of the speed versus fuel consumption curve:

so?

playing with images .... and some standardization of weapons and radar with Type 056 corvette

 

[Penguin]

Nice. I'ld pull out the flight deck as far aft as possible, maybe even angle the transom out a bit, to achieve max space on and below the flight deck.

 

[sahureka2]

OK, the flight deck stretched, but one must pay attention to the weight of the new structures necessary to achieve it, limiting as much as possible the realization of new environments below the fi flight deck, in order not to affect the stability of the ship.
To safeguard the lifeboats should create a structure to divert the flow of missiles FL-3000N
To increase the standardization with Type 056, as a secondary weapon I used the same system 30mm

Besides Minerva, Italians had a nice range of vessels on the design books (not sold though)

SAETTIA Mk 1 of 1984. Private FAC built by Fincantieri, called DA-360T, no customer.
Rebuilt on 1998 ca as Patrol Boat for Italian Coast Guard.
Originally 1x 76 mm Oto Melara Compatto, 1x twin 30mm Breda/Mauser cannon 2x2 Otomat antiship missiles.
4 MTU 16V538TIB93 diesels (13.000 kW), colocated in pairs in two seperate compartments, speeds: 40 kn, autonomy of 1800 mi at 18kn, crew 29.

C-1000 corvette from CNR: 1000 t st, 75 m long, 10,25 m beam, 2 GMT 230DVM diesels, 25 kn, 6.000 nm/15 kn, 1 Compatto, 1 Albatros, 2 triple TL, 1 RAN 10S search radar, 2 Dardo FCR and MF hull sonar.

F-1700: 90 m long, 12,60 m broad, 1710 t st, 30 kn, and for the weapons: 2 76 SR, 4 OTOMAT MK-2, 16 VL SAM, 1x3 tp launcher & 1 Lynx or similar helo

F-3000: Standard Displacement: 3100 Tons. Lenght: 112,5 m. Width: 14,5 m. CODOG powerplant. Max speed: 34 knots. Max range: 5000 miles at 18 knots. Armament: 3x OTO Melara 76/62 Super rapido, 24x SeaWolf or Albatros (VLS), 8x OTOMAT Mk.2 and one helicopter (EH101 or NH90). High degree of automation, stealthy features adopted.

The whole series breathes nice lines, very pleasing to the eye compared to contemporaries.

This appears similar to what we've been turning the Minerva's into, just a bit smaller.

Sources claim that today 9 may 2016 , departed from the base of Augusta to Genoa the former Urania and the former Danaide the Minerva class, to begin the work of refitting in view of the sale to the Bangladesh Coast Guard.

I thought they were already delivered.

The four class corvettes Minerva, were decommissioned by the Italian Navy in pairs, before Minerva and Sybil, already nearing completion at the Arsenal of La Spezia, then Urania and Danaide, decommissioned 10 March 2016 and today in transfer trip to Genoa to start work in dry dock
