Granzi
06-06-2004, 15:08
As a response to the increasing number of nations with large "super battleships," the Commonwealth has seen fit to create its own. In the recently Daylami Conflict, it was realized that many foes now possessed this type of technology deemed a threat to Granzian interests. Parliament passed Resolution A-362 in a joint session, hereby setting aside funds and materials. Construction has begun, with the research and developmental phase just finished. (Note, this has been in the works for a while.)
The new Commonwealth Class is to serve as the Granzian flagship. Designed for power projection, the design incorporates two distinctive features, heavy firepower combined with aircraft assaults. Its 30 inch naval guns will be housed in 5 turrents, and heavily armored against attack. A host of recently developed sensors and systems will be on board, including a 3-D modeling radar suite. It has the ability to house up to 60 aircraft, thus removing the need for heavy outside air support. Naval CC is proud to say that every aspect of this ship was bulit in Granzi, thereby boosting the economy. Construction is projected to finish in 20 NS years.

To the nations of the world, you have nothing to fear. This vessel will be used only in situations where Granzi itself will be under threat. We do not wish for this to become a weapon which we throw around for our personal benefit. The Commonwealth is merely a safeguard, so we could protect our sovereignty and rights. Only one is expected to be built.
Thank you,

OOC: I wanted this to be realistic, not a doomsday weapon. I see too many nations now aday having uberships which just ruins RPs. This battleship, I toned down the weapons (triple turrents instead of quadruple, and 60 aircraft instead of 100 or so.) So hopefully this isn't godmod. Any feedback on the design or such is most appreciated.
