Yeouch.

Now that is a ship I don't want to face in a naval battle. That thing is a beast.

It has more weapons then many other ships and it very well armoured. It is something that has good speed and is well kitted out for any scenario.

All in all, very impressive.

OOC: Your displacement is far off - by a coupld hundred thousand tons.

OOC: And so continues the line of Doujin rip offs. Boldy going where one nation has gone before, and screwing up.

Edit: Weight adjusted.

OOC: Do you mean "Laser" when you put Mk. 5 Lazer CIWS? And now it's probably a bit to heavy :P

It carries a large amount of ordinance. Besides, Inferno rounds are heavier than your standard SABOT rounds.

Interesting. *makes notes, feels somewhat aggrieved as to the copying and pasting of electronics from the Leviathan class*

OOC: Ok, so when my rounds penetrate your hull and hit your ordinance compartments and your ship goes *boom*.. I mean, I neat!
