Three of the Five 20" guns are made up of 'Screecher' Turrets,

The primary aspect of this weopon system is a 400lb Depleted Uranium Shell. The shell has a Scram-Jet Jacket built into it so, once fired from the 20" Cannon, The Scram-Jet activates allowing it to do one of two options.

#1: Using a 'Solid' Uranium Shell, The Scram-Jet Fires early, adding its speed to the speed from cannon shot, turning it into a fearsom Kinetic Energy Weapon that can easily tear into other ships.

#2 Using a 'Warhead' Half Uranium Shell, The Scram-Jet waits until the intial arch from the Cannon shot begins to derad, then fires. This will almost Double the effective range of the shot, giving the oppurtunity to Bombard targets well out of range of any conventional counter attack.

On Anti-Missle Systems: (produced by Kazakhstania)
The KASHTAN Air Defence Gun/Missile System is intended to provide self-defence for surface ships against high precision weapons (anti-ship and anti-radar missiles, air bombs), fixed and rotary wing aircraft, as well as to engage small sea and coastal targets.

The system is developed as a modular structure comprising a command module and combat modules (from one to six, depending on ship displacement). The command module ensures IFF procedures, target acquisition and designation, and data generation for gun/missile fire.

The combat module comprises a gun/missile mount, a radar and optical control systems, a computing system, and power supply system. The integrated multi-channel control system provides simultaneous multi-target tracking in the radar and TV-optical modes. The firing turret mounts two blocks of GSh-30K six-barrel automatic guns with linkless feeding system and autonomous evaporation-type cooling system, and two SAM clusters.

The system also includes storing and reloading system to keep 32 SAMs in container-launchers in ship's under-deck spaces. Reloading time for a cluster of four SAMs does not exceed 1.5 min.

The KASHTAN system can be installed on ships with displacement greater than 400 t.

Maximum target speed,: m/s 600
Kill probability: 0.96 ... 0.98
Number of targets engaged simultaneously: up to 6
Rate of gun fire, rds/min: 10,000 ... 12,000
Cartridge types: 30 mm with HE-Frag and Frag-T projectiles

Second. The ship is Nuclear powered. The "Smoke" Stack on the ship is for venting exhaust. Note, normal Nuclear Reactors have huge condensor Colums that look like "Smoke" stacks, the thing behind the Bridge is simply one of those.

Also on cost, The average Nimitz class Carrier costs between 5 and 7 Billion. The Chimera Command ship will cost 8.5 Billion. This really isn't that much but it will take a while to produce each one.

A Message from The Crossroads Inc Naval Industries:

Orders have already began to flood in, including one massive order from Super American for 20ships. The Shipyards at CR. INC will be put to the limit as we have already laid the Keels for 26 Chimera Super Battleships.

Due to the incredable size and resources needed to produce one of these ships, let alone so many at the same time, We will only have space to produce another 14 ships before we will have to close the store till the current selections has been launched and distrubuted (in on RL week)

As Crossroads Naval Industries increases, the amount of ships produced, and speed, shall increase.
