Al-Samad I AS

Overview:
The Al-Samad I Artillery Ship is a sea-based, high endurance vessel for close support of landing forces. It is most normally used in conjunction with various ammunition ships and defence ships. The Al-Samad I is heavily loaded offensively, with two 190mm Howitzer artillery cannons, but lacks in the area of defence, with dual 55mm Flak Cannons. This is the reason it is usually used in conjunction with defensive ships. Like most TBDAC:ND ships, it comes equipped with a radar jammer.

Cost Upon Request

OOC: Any discrepancies, ideas, complaints... post them.

5 6' tall men lying down head to toe would be longer than your entire ship.

Do your math again.

Is there any real need for a specialised shore bombardment vessel? In the Falklands the Royal Navy just used the cannons on their regular ships, with fairly good results, and those results would be even better today since you could use a UAV to check where the rounds are landing.
And Fluffywuffy is right, you used the " (inch) symbol instead of ' (feet).

Fixed

Some bumps are made to bump. This has been a poorly disguised bump by The Burnsian Desert.

What's the point of using 190mm artillery pieces? Just use a battleship with 16"ers much better results and you don't have to have a specialized ship.

I just thought that these are easier and cheaper to produce than having to create battleships.
