No, Japan famously had dogshit AA even for an axis power, between fire control and the actual guns themselves. Only Germany was worse and that's because they calibrated their fire control for modern planes on a fucking lake, not the sea they actually were going to fight on, iirc.

Holy shit, I missed three posts and two voting rounds. Geez. Let's see where we're at...
This is a lot less critical- a LOT less critical- with the success of the Attenborough reducing how many of those sorts of emergencies we have to face in the next century-plus. And, since we quite recently put advanced medical facilities in the Excalibur-class, we're good until around the time we design the Callies' replacement; I'll want to go for advanced medical on either that or the design immediately following it.
Anyway. I'm still shooting for 250-300kt range here, so:
[X] 180 Meter, 3 Decks (Mass: 114kt) [Cost: 22.5]
I absolutely love this little touch. Love it so much.
Agreed.
Max cruise is still capped at Warp 7 till we get the new nacelles, hopefully for the next design. Efficient cruise increases are still useful, though.
I'm generally opposed to outright hospital ship designs as well. That said, I'm not generally opposed to smaller advanced medical facilities in at least one ship in service at any given time (roughly every third or fourth design?). We don't need the bed count of a proper hospital ship (and shouldn't try for it; they're heinously inefficient), but it's good to have something capable of responding to the really weird stuff and developing and synthesizing cures for it.

I voted for standard shields because I wanted to improve the ship's defenses through bulking up. Losing that vote on shields isn't going to deter me; I'm just going to be wincing throughout the rest of the design process.

Look at it this way, if we go for a maximum

If we want a big ship the magic number is 360kt, we can get very high maneuver with 4 impulse engines, high with 3 and medium with 2. It'll be bigger than the Sagas but not so big it's impossible to conceive of, and given we made a S tactical but overall decent at everything ship with the Excalibur, with this much room we could slap 3 RFLs(2 forward 1 back) onto it and still have a solid split for Science and engineering.
270 means at most 3 impulse engines, but frankly 2 is probably enough, and while we have less room it's still close the Sagamartas in size but so much more advanced. Room might be a concern, but then again might not be.
Anyways, Warspite Class for this chunky lass sound appealing?

Aren't they just building the canon Miranda?
As a metaphorical successor to her Nelson would also work.
Though given they have a similar saucer diameter and the whole old refrain "armed with her grandmothers teeth" Vanguard might be a good one.

I figured it be flavored from all the stuff we been doing so it be different from canon miranda.

Still another vote on the saucer to decide if we make her even thicker
Not necessarily, we are assuming based on past actions they'll just produce a ship comparable to canon. But given the lessons of this war it's reasonably probable they actually go for a more than barebones design.
We spent a lot of effort on Econ ships. We definitely have the leeway to spend a whole lot on our ship of the line.

Excalibur ended up 7 or 9 decks from a baseline of 2, should logic hold we should get 10.5/11 to 13.5/14 - either the same as the Excelsior class or slightly thicker.Still another vote on the saucer to decide if we make her even thicker
The main shuttlebay of a Galaxy-class starship is about the same diameter (and perhaps volume) as the saucer of a refit Constitution-class.

New Thunderchild Let's GOOOOOO!!! Shame shuttlecraft technology is where it's at, I'd love to see a battlecarrier in space.

Clearly not going to win, but I just don't think we need to make the edge of this ship super thick, we can have an entire engineering hull to play with, and we can certainly thicken the center of the saucer.
