Naval Long Range AAD option for CPF?

[Ex-Dragoon]

I think the destroyers we have are great but could use upgrades etc...

No they need to be replaced, they are well past needing replacement. I would not say great, adequate for AAD and very good for flagship duties.

First off, Well said Kirkhill.

If you want speed and stability along with the endurance then you are going to end up punching a pretty big hole in the ocean and that requires a lot of energy, which means fuel which in turn means a bigger ship and a bigger hole in the ocean.  And the ability to punch a big hole costs money.

Remember though, steel is cheap and air is free......The costs of a modern warship is better reflected by what you "put in it" then the dimensions and volume.
