Sold.

If you could please brand these names on the side, that would be terrific:

A.N.S. Excalibur
A.N.S. King Arthur
A.N.S. Merlin

Yes, I note the similar names, but we want them that way (our superfreighters are the Illiad and the Odyssey, we're known for pairing names like that ;)).

Ok, all three of my names relate to Vlad the Impaler (A.K.A. Vlad Tepes, Vlad Dracula)

May I ask how this is superior or if it even is to the Nimitz class?

OOC: for every type of class of ships i have, i use similar names. It's common practice in the navy(mostly)
07-08-2003, 03:49
more planes+more defensive protection, it might have a longer endurance than the nimitz, but I'm not sure

Free Rumania, that's pretty cheap for a carrier don't you think? That's same size class as a Nimitz yet costs less then half per unit? With a smaller production run? A more reasonable price would be $3.5-4.8 billion.

in powerfularmies store a nimitz is 1.6 bil

Then I'm at a loss for why he is selling them. I guess it's in his nations 400 years of community service and charity work? because you would loose money on a $1.6 billion Nimitz.

Would a need of 5 of these carriers a "big demand"? :P
07-08-2003, 03:58
ok, it will take a few years to build them since I don't have huge #'s of shipyards.

hmmmm

so you basically incorporated the AEGIS into the carrier. Hmmm thats interesting. but to me it sounds like you are taking away duties from escort ships. Also how did you manage to squeeze 20-30 more aircraft into this thing? What's its tonnage? It also seems to have lost some speed compared to the Nimitz. How many catapults does it have?
07-08-2003, 04:05
It's about 100ft longer than a nimitz, has a wider deck, 4 catapults, and yeah its about 3-4 kts slower than the nimitz, but speed doesn't really matter much to me.

You should try to be realistic, atleast somewhat, otherwise it becomes a big godmode fest.

I make the prices realistic for the NS world, i.e. most things here cost about half of what they would in RL

All orders except Omz's have been completed. Omz your first 3 are done and the other 2 will take only about 2 RL days
10-08-2003, 18:33
We shall order ten of these. Furthermore do you have vehicle or troop transporters ?? Do you have any large aircraft that could carry them for example?
10-08-2003, 18:35
100 is the standard load out, but you could probably squeeze more into it. I have a puppet that sells AN-124 transport aircraft. Each can carry like 2 tanks or 500 troops
10-08-2003, 18:45
Well we confirm our interest in buying the 10 Naval Carriers. Do you not have bigger tank carriers.

Why do you have two Nuclear reactors with four shafts? Wouldn't it be better to have four reactors and two shafts? Or four reactors with four shafts?

Why don't you ask the U.S. gov't. They used the same layout on the nimitz. And it's got 4 steam turbines which turn the shafts

But I already kicked an enemy's aircraft's ass lol

Ahhh, ok....<forgets reactor number isn't the same as turbine number>

Well, the propulsion on the Nimitz ain't that great and can be much better.
13-08-2003, 00:31
Orders confirmed. And 30kts is fine for a carrier, most of its escorts travel around that speed.

The modern carrier does fine with two reactors and four shafts. Don't forget how much power a nuclear fission reactor is capable of.
