  • My little project

In my free time, I love designing stuff. The latest project I have designed is a new
class of Battleship. I personaly think this battleship is about the most overpowered
war ship ever and I want to see what the NF community thinks. If I get enough want
pics and similar stuff, I'll find a way to upload my pictures. (I hand draw all the
designs and don't have a good scaner)

(Warning: ship is massive, I didn't think it would be as massive as it turns out to be
once the main guns were scaled and compared to historical facts.)
Length: 1950 ft
Hight: 314 ft
Width: 235.5 ft
Displacment: (Very rough estimate) 200,000-250,000 tons
Guns
Primary: 5x2 31.2" (800mm) Gustav artillary gun (New loading mech reduces
firing rate of Gustave from 15 a day in WWII to bout 1 a min, but hey as long as you
hit, you don't need firing rate with a 7 ton shell)
Secondary: 20x2 (10 per side) 10" naval guns
AA: 12x1 CIWS .50 Gatlin guns, 4x2 5" auto-guns
Armour:
30" turret faceplat and siding
20"side (30" armour belt)
15" deck armour
(Can carry up to 10 airplanes of varing sizes up to a harrier jump jet)
(Secondary guns can be replaced with missile launchers or any other weapon of that
varriety)
What do you all think?
Over powered? Huge? Best NF ship ever ? or all the above?

I don't know much about ships but...

That ship is obsolete before it leaves the dock. Guns aren't really needed in the modern
day. The only potential I could see would be some sort of amphibious assault support. I
don't see too many amphibious assaults happening any time soon.

Missiles and planes are more flexible and accurate.

Plus all that armor is going to do diddly against a modern missile or torpedo (heaven
forbid something nasty hits her keel).

Instead of building that you could build dozens of missile frigates. So instead of
having one missile taking out your entire force, you'd lose only a tiny fraction.

Plus with the increased size (remember, as you increase things by X times, you must cube
its weight) and additional armor, the thing would weigh probably several times that. If
not more. And I'd find it incredibly hard to imagine what sort of power source would be
needed to move that thing, much less give it any sort of real speed.
