This is about the unwieldest BB that I have ever seen...

A) The BB is too short... Its gonna look like a circle or an oval... Its gonna be wider than its long...

B) Its not considered a BB without the big guns and the length... Its probably a cruiser...

C) There is no way you can have so much stuff on that deck...

This is about the unwieldest BB that I have ever seen...

A) The BB is too short... Its gonna look like a circle or an oval... Its gonna be wider than its long...
It's dimensions are similar to a Nimitz. Though I'll lenghten it a bit.

B) Its not considered a BB without the big guns and the length... Its probably a cruiser...
It's classed as a battleship due to it's size, firepower, and armor. See above on the length.

C) There is no way you can have so much stuff on that deck...
Considering the amount of missiles that can crammed into a Tico or Burke, I don't see a problem.

Generally, aircraft carriers are of blockier shape than battleships; however, I would have to note that this actually appears close to realistic, much more so than most superdreadnaughts/superbattleships posted here on NS. The only problem is that a 100,000 ton displacement warship is perhaps not the best idea, structurally.

(The guns do not necessarily define a battleship in this day and age)

I will take one of your Hurricane class BBGN.

Umm... it's still 10 times longer then it is wide.


B) Its not considered a BB without the big guns and the length... Its probably a cruiser...

Original battleships didn't mount any big guns, the RMS Dreadnought was the first big gun, high speed battleship.


C) There is no way you can have so much stuff on that deck...

It's not that much, anyways, some of it might be below deck, or otherwise mounted oddly.

700 billion or 700 million? and do you have stats or a pic.. (If it's really 700 billion forget about it)

Anyway i still need some mor battleships, sell me those bships I know they are out there somewhere.

it's 800 million, sorry.

Here's a pic of it.... (sorry about the gray-ness of the pic)

More ships are available at http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=70099 including packages

The Sword and Sheild I will purchase your vessel,

Mighty Mountains and SPARTEN, I will have to decline your offers.


Lapse, those images you posted show multiple gun turrets and no missile launchers and you description is confusing...

Very well, the ship (The former FNS Belisarius BB-28 ), will begin it's final journey under the SnS flag from Corregidor to the port of your choice. It will be sent by us, and escorted by the Alaska class battlecruiser FNS Olympia which will also return the skeleton crew that will navigate the ship to your land, back to Corregidor.



- Federal Naval Command, Corregidor

Lapse, those images you posted show multiple gun turrets and no missile launchers and you description is confusing...

Lapse I actually like the drawing, and would probly buy it if the weapons coresponded with the picture.

You can also check my Warship storefront for 2 other BB designs and a Battlecruiser design

As i said id have no idea how to draw a missile launcher on, they are located though

On the skirmish I ship: 1 on each hull at the far rear, 1 on each hulll at the very front, same on the Skirmish II. The V series rocket launchers rises out of that rectangle at the back of the hulls
