RNN Report:
Due to the Raysian Air Force's greatly increasing need for a mobile Airstrip to land their large bombers and transports, Raysian Marine Technologies and Raysian Aerospace have joined together to create the first of a possible 5 Airstrips. They can be split into 4 barges for transportation, and joined together for service.
Here is an Artist's conception of what the completed Ship will look like:

The total length will be just over 2 miles long, and half a mile wide. It will be able to land -any- plane in existance, and park close to 36 of them on deck. The airstrip barges will also be able to dock submarines and smaller boats to them, as well as bigger ships such as aircraft carriers and battleships along the sides. The tugboats are submersable, meaning they are ultra-powerful tug-boat submarines created especially for this project by RMT. Again, the barges may be moved together, but for long travelling distances, they are seperated.
The airstrip barge can also accomodate up to 55,000 military personnel in its lower decks, many of which are recreational areas or temp living space. The barges are controlled by a crew of only 500.
The first Barge is almost completed, and the entire vessel will be ready for use in 2 years. Raysia plans to build 4 more of these in the near future as well.
OOC: how do you like my pic? it's the first ship I ever drew, so gimme a break lol The deck textures are what I spent the most time on.
