Seriously I think your going to run into buoyancy issues at 115, 000 t you should read up on your physics

if the Doujin is possible, so is this.

Well, given that the Nimitz-class weigh in at about 100,000 tons, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Well, so long as a ship displaces enough water equal to the ship's mass then it will stay afloat.

Right but with 21 reactors (even if they are “mini” they require pumps lead shielding and all sorts of controls and plumbing) and 115 aircraft + 6 elevators and more required gear then can possibly be listed here she might not have the required positive unless you throw on some of those orange water wings

Surely a nation that is cognizant of the fact that mandatory military service teaches it's people self-control and discipline, but is in need of humanitarian, pharmocological "aid" (I use the term loosely since your country is clearly not deprived of medicinal items. I merely mean to suggest your situation can be made better and with an agreement that provides for your government and your country's people) is willing to at least discuss the possibility of trade in this matter?

If not, please accept our extreme disapointment, but willingness to understand. Please also feel free to contact us regarding the trade in pharmacuticals, no matter your situation or technological innovation (which appears to be significant in the weapons/physics department, but in need of innovation in the bio-tech/pharmocolgical field - our speciality).

Respectfully and Most Sincerely,

Well, in terms of bouyancy, we can work out the draft here,

Now, in order for a ship to float it needs to be able to displace sufficent amunt of water for the water benaths counter-reaction to be equal to the weight of the ship.

So....

455 metres long, and 59 metres wide. (I work in metric, much much easier). times together and we get therectangular area of the ship=

455 x 59 =26,845 m2. If we times this by one metre, we get 26,845 m3 of water displaced per metre of draft. However, your ships hull is a streamlined monohull, meaning that it wont be a rectanuglar cross-section (unless you dont want it to move.) but instead be more like a diamond shape. These means that for the underwater hull overall, we have to do an average of half this 26,845 amount, which means that the realistic per draft amount would be more like 13,500m3 per metre of draft.

So, for 115,000 tons, the draft will be:

115,000/13,500 = 8.52 metres. Of course this can vary, but it is a very realistic amount when the reality of ship building is taken into account.

So what about that tonnage though? It is way too low, and should be up around 150,000 to 200,000 tons for the size of vessel.

EDIT: Oops, forgot to mention that 1 m3 of fresh water = (approx) 1 metric ton
