After about two days of solid work, this is my most technically complex creation to date. I introduce to you the St. Augustine Class Guided Missile Destroyer ( although more like a light cruiser but the Washington and London Naval Treaty have long expired so eh... )

This ship is ludicrously fast with a top speed of over 100+ knots using twin ducted propellers, which allow the ship to turn on the spot and equipped with flares to ward off most incoming anti-ship missiles. These are only the defensive aspects of the ship, and the offensive capability is just as staggering. This vessel comes equipped with

. 12 8-inch guns mounted in four turrets with 70 degrees of elevation so even aircraft won't be a problem if you can hit them

. 4 Otto Melara 76mm turrets for dealing with small-fast vessels such as pirates without wasting main-gun ammo

. 2 combined C-RAM and Phalanx CWIS units fore and aft to defend against missiles

. and lastly, 44 Surface-To-Air missiles in vertical launch silos
The ship also comes equipped with active sonar so those pesky subs can not hide. The St. Augustine class is a Frankenstein of the seas blending the best of the big-gun era of warships with the versatility of missiles with only a few flaws so far including no cruise missiles of her own against other ships or an anti-submarine helicopter to make use of the sonar but those are in the works.

As for the controls.
VTOL and Trim control the elevation and traverse of the main turrets
Activation Group 1 & 2 although I would not recommend using all turrets at the same time as the salvo function is a bit wonky and I have no idea how to fix it

Pitch and Roll control the Otto Melara turrets ( Activation Groups 3 & 4 ) and the CWIS turrets ( Activation Groups 5 & 6 ) Mouse control is recommended and is what the turrets are tailored for

Activation Group 7 is blank and Group 8 de-activates the sonar which uses wing guns

Throttle controls the speed and Yaw controls the rudder- 3-4% Throttle gets you to about 32-36 knots

All credit for the Otto Melara Turret, sonar, hull, and the CWIS turrets go to the original creators but I do not remember who made them so if you do, check them out
