Completely forgot about the size for the pop up turret.
For the T-X program I am a bit biased toward the Northrop's proposal due to model 400 seems like an evolution of the F-20 program. After watching the F-5 design program online, it seems to me that F-5 family of planes could have played a major role in export and a great challenge to foreign competition in the market. It seems the F-5 is still quite favorable for training purpose due to its agility and cost. Other than my bias, the reason I think it has a higher chance of being adopted is mainly due to cost and familiarity with the plane. I think I read somewhere that US is currently reducing budget on the program and cost would be one of the big factor in deciding if they want to adopt it or not. The major competitors all have twin engine (which increase cost), especially T-50, which technically uses the same engine. For training purposes, I kind of doubt that they would need the plane to have long operating range or carry a high payload, unless twin engine planes like the F-18, F-15 and F-22 have different training requirement that a single engine plane cannot provide. If Northrop kept the design feature from F-5 that made maintenance easier, that would be a big plus. Too bad that they didn't have any performance review, but if it is lacking in this area comparing to the competition, this could hurt a bit since it is designed to train pilots for gen 4+ and gen 5 aircraft.

site for fanbois? actually Dirty Wedding Photos window popped after visiting your link FORBIN
oh and FORBIN one more thing: next time write at least one character by your own so that I can quote your post (if you don't, empty QUOTE /QUOTE appears)
now for everybody:
“After the ship arrives on the West Coast, it will begin an 18-month post-delivery availability to complete installation, integration, and shipyard testing of mission systems." says DOT&E 2015 Annual Report
"Following commissioning, the ship will transit to San Diego, where it will complete activation and certification as part of an 18-month post delivery maintenance availability." says USNI News

Ok yes a bit curious this site.
And in this case no deployment before 2019 long for a post-delivery availability in general 6 months maybe coz new class.
Interesting and it is realy a problem for quote some posts, i understand but the system is not easy.
Originally they were going to just build eight of these, but this is a case where they decided they needed and could afford more. As I understand it, the hull form and design arwe woking our very well for the Coast Guard.Naval Today said:
Six are already in the water, the 7th will be launched this fall, and the eighth will start building immediately thereafter.
Here are the furst two, 750 Birthold and 751 Waesche, cruising together.

the biggest balsa-wood ship ever will be commissioned "October 15, 2016 – @1700" (), which to me would be a PR stunt if info from DOT&E 2015 Annual Report was correct: "After the ship arrives on the West Coast, it will begin an 18-month post-delivery availability to complete installation, integration, and shipyard testing of mission systems. The Navy plans to conduct a second Acceptance Trial when that availability has been completed" etc.
FORBIN if I were you, I wouldn't blame the system in this case: you didn't say anything in https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/us-military-news-reports-data-etc.t1547/page-602#post-413932 so there was nothing to quote LOL

according to

"The first in a class of new guided missile destroyer has left its Maine shipyard to start a three-month journey to its homeport in San Diego, Calif."
will she take it toward Africa, then Australia, and through Pacific? (would be
