The LP(Launcher-Pad) Soros... A boat capable of launching 2 mini-nukes.

Built out of titanium steel, its launching sysytem is similar to that of a submarines, except much more powerful. Its max speed is 15 knots loaded with the mini-nukes and 18 without.

We are still researching,and any funds would be appreciated.

OOC: Tell me what you think of it. Realistic,unrealistic,etc

Why spend all of the money on one of these boats when you can go and buy an Ohio class Nuclear submaire that is capable of producing speeds higher than the boat you are making and has over one hundred and thirty nuclear Warheads on board. plus the sub can not be seen on satilitte when its under water.

I like the design but you could probably fit more than just 2 mini nukes on it, you know like a machine gun atleast. How will it defend itself?

It is pretty cool looking though :D

Can I take it out for the Ultimate Fishing Boat test?

Personally the term "mini nuke" doesn't help things.

You can fit a nuclear warhead to most stand off systems if you really want to.

personally i would go with some tomahawk (or other criuse missile) VLS cells as that would give you felxability and nuclear capacity.

To be worthwhile you would likely need at least 12 VLS tubes.

You really need to fix what exactly this vessel is about before going further, how big is it? and of what class? patrol vessel, coastal cutter, crovette, frigate?

A stealthy criuse missile corvette might be an interesting design concept but it would need other features (like at least 1 CIWS, preferably of a dual purpose nature).

If you can come up with a more concrete design idea then Crookfur Naval amnufacturing will gladly invest.
