Integrating guns and missiles on a hypothetical post-Falklands battleship

In the Red Fleet alternate history, new British battleships serve as flagships for surface-action and amphibious groups. The proposed configuration combines two twin 14-inch turrets with missile weapons, extensive radar equipment, satellite communications, and a helicopter hangar. Sea Wolf launcher positions risk sending a missile into the satellite communications equipment. The forward Sea Dart launcher cannot keep missiles on its rails while the main guns fire, so the rear launcher provides an alternative. These ships are intended to operate with a group, which helps explain the limits accepted in their own defensive arrangements. The configuration belongs to the imagined timeline, while the interference between gun blast, launch paths, and nearby equipment is a practical design problem. Successful wartime service is also used to justify funding a successor, with the replacement of Fearless and Intrepid by Albion and Bulwark offered as the real-world analogy.
