CGN-25 USS Bainbridge 3.0

This model represents the USS Bainbridge, the only ship of her class, in service from 1962 to 1996. She is based on the Leahy class missile cruiser, but modified to use nuclear power.

This package contains three versions of the Bainbridge, separated into the major refits the class underwent during its service life:

1. As built in 1962: Equipped with Terrier missiles and two 3" twin turrets
   
2. AAW refit circa 1976: Terriers replaced with SM-1ER, 3" guns replaced with Harpoon launchers, electronics updated to support new missiles
   
3. NTU refit circa 1985: New radars, added Phalanx CIWS, SM-1ER replaced with SM-2ER
   

Each version has its own names.ini list, so each variant will appear in task forces in the correct era.

Each version of the ship is substantially different in their anti-air and anti-missile capability, which I have attempted to simulate as best as I can. The Harpoons on the AAW and NTU version are fully functional. SRBOC launchers (as on my other USN ships) are included on the model but disabled by default for simplicity's sake.

Note: The weapon systems, collision mesh, and decals have been updated for compatibility with SF2: North Atlantic and the March 2012 patch. If you have not installed/do not plan to install either, this model will not work properly.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!
