Allanean Arms Predator We make Nimitzes look Cute

Jointly developed with Silver Turtle's best engineers, the Predator class is the best Allanean Arms has to offer in terms of marine security.
If you are a government contractor, then there's nothing better than a Predator to protect you.
If you are a civilian contractor wealthy enough, well, nothing says "shall not be infringed" better than a pair of 60-inch barrels.

Currently, three docks are open, capable of building Predators . They are manufacturing three ships for the Allanean Government, the Second Amendment , the Allanea and one yet unnamed. It will take us two weeks (RL) to finish them, after which we will be able to make more predators. So if you order your own, you'll get it after a month. You can pay 10 billion extra for us building another dock, then it will take three weeks (including time to buld the dock.

Cost (for other nations to buy):
$50 billion

Phone (government contractors): 454-4454-4556
Phone (civilian contractors): 454-4454-4550, ask Mike


Only The Silver Turtle and I have rights to sell the ship. Ali'Staan Accord signatories can build it if permission is requested from either myself or TST.

OOC: Do the guns have rotating axles? Or are they fixed mount?

I really, really, really, hope they are fixed, cos if those main cannons ever fired in a broadside, lets just say you could turn whats left of the ship into modern art

Freethinkers: while the axles are rotating, targeting software prevents the weapon from being fired in ways damaging to the Predator ,

the smaller guns? No real problem with them, but the big turret will cause problems whenever it is moved off the centreline.

This aint a Doujin, suffice to say.

Explain, please.

And you totally disregard the fact that in reality, as gun sizes get larger the distance at which the projectile goes get significantly smaller.. with that, accuracy anyone? And 50 billion dollars per ship? Hell, a Doujin costs what.. minumum 225-250 billion. Also, time.. you would not be able to build one in the short time since the ending of the Allanean-Edolian war, let alone 3 - and also, the draft.. *cough*

You have to understand that is irrelevant to the purpose of the main guns. They are more of psychological weapons.

Two problems with that.

1) You couldn't afford one of those, let alone 50.
2) The ship is a physical impossibility that's going to be ignored by just about everyone, so you're spending cash on nothingness.

The gun will make the ship do a backflip in the water!!

More than that. Without an immense amount of rear ballast that would make the ship sit even lower in the water, the weight of the dual 60s in the front alone would tip the ship forward and drive the bow under in forward motion.
