:idea: Norad Class Super Battleship (SBBN-1)
http://www.hpphoto.com/servlet/LinkPhoto?GUID=19f546bb-4fd6-4ac5-5d4f-59e13be11096&size=
The Norad class Super Battleship is almost a LHD/carrier with all of its capabilitys but it still preforms the role of Battleship better than all else. With its coilguns and cruise missiles it can pose a threat to any nation with a coastline. With its V/STOL aircraft support it can provide air cover for your fleets without commiting an actual aircraft carrier. The Norad class can hold a full marine force with vehicles and landing craft. It can dock 1 submarine in lieu of the amphib force and preform sub-tending duties.
There are several landing pads, 2 elevatorsand a pair of ski jump runways. It can accomadate up to 4,000 men max. Also its very well armored and I am very tired and cant finsih the description just now.

This one I stoped making really but i could make an exception...

The Ultor Class Super Carrier (SCVN-9)

http://www.hpphoto.com/servlet/LinkPhoto?GUID=2deb38de-10a2-7e99-7e5c-4d0a45e43fd5
The Ultor Class Super Carrier is truely a massive vessel, combining the firepower of an Iowa class battleship, the technology of a modern guided missile destroyer, the versitility of the Wasp LHD And the air power projection of the nimitz class carrier, all in the same package.
It can conduct the invasion of a small nation by itself, without any support!
It has LHD type faciltys for the full marine complement which can embark from the wet docks with hovercraft, APCs and landing boats. A full costal bombardment can be conducted by the massive 16" cannons and the 8" coilguns. Deeper strikes can be made by tomohawk cruise missiles and its complement of combat aircraft. Should it come under fire it has armor around all vital and vunreable systems, but of course it has a full suite of counter measures, and defense weapons including an anti-missile laser and multiple machine guns. A 5inch gun and (3) 25mm chainguns protect against small vessels and terrorist threats. Large vessels can be dealt with by the 8 inch coilguns or the anti-ship missiles located under the flight deck. Also 2 submarines can dock underneath the flightdeck, near the 4 wet docks. The ship can preform sub-tending duties to the docked subs, repairing, resupplying and rearming them.
