Long Beach Preliminary Scheme AA-1
The smallest and also the last Long Beach preliminary proposal essentially a CONAG version of the Y design but on an even shorter hull. The Addition of the Gas Turbine funnel, air intakes and the Regulus launcher meant only 2 such missiles could be carried and the Terrier guidance radars had to be repositioned (an increased in number) to provide enough coverage.The design had these characteristics:
Dimensions: 164,6 (pp) 170,7m (oa) x 16,76 x 6,31m
Displacement: 6.979ton (Standard), 8.128tons (Full load)
Engines: CONAG - Combined Nuclear and Gas propulsion: 40.000shp Westinghouse C1W Nuclear Reactors, 40.000shp Pratt & Whitney J75 (Probably) Gas Turines 2 shafts
Speed: 56km/h (30knots)
Armaments:
1x2 RIM-2 Terrier SAM,
1x2 RIM-24 Tartar SAM,
1x1 RGM-6 Regulus I CruM
1x2 RAT Launcher,
2x3 324mm Torpedo Tubes
Sensors:
SPS-10 - Surface-Search Radar
4x SPS-32 - Air-Search Radar
4x SPS-33 - Height Finder Radar
3x SPG-51 - Tartar Illumination/tracking Radars
3x SPQ-5 - Terrier Illumination/tracking radars
