Earlier today The Republican Navy revealed it's most advanced and largest ship ever. The LRS Megadeth is a battleship that streches even larger than the Nimitz class aircraft making it one of the biggest warships in the world and surely a force to be recokned with through out the region. We've high hopes that the Megadeth will begin a long line of Super Battleships in the coming years, in fact plans for the second LRS Super Battleship the "Last Rites" are already in motion.

[LRS MEGADETH]

Crew: 3,578 (including 303 officers), 3,275 crew
Length: 800 meters
Width: 567 meters
Speed: 25 knots
Power Plant: Two Nuclear Power Plant (A4W Pressurized Water Reactor)
Six shafts, six propellers, with five blades each
Armaments: 8 Sea Sparrow launchers
20 Phalanx CIWS 20mm mounts
30 Harpoon Ship to Ship missles
20 15" Naval Cannons
14 20" Naval Cannons
17 -- 5-inch/38 caliber DP Guns (Mark 12) (127mm)
7 SAM Stations
25 AA Gun Emplacements
30 Tomahawk Cruise Missles
1 VTOL Station capable of holding thirty attack choppers/harriers

(If anyone of this seems unrealstic, I appologize as I'm not too aware of the specifics that go into Naval ships. If there's something that seems out of place feel free to tell me.)

Actually, it was better the way before, but I need to point a few things out:

The big ship is the Doujin, a breed of warships known as super-dreadnoughts. If you want to build one t has to be extremely realistic otherwise people will ripe it to shreds in the OOC threads. Whereas that super-dread in the pic is generally accepted, it was through a lot of hardwork, determination and persistence. Design something that big at your peril.

Assuming you wish to continue though...lets begin. Now, this may sound harsh, but its meant to be good advice. I dont mean to offend so please dont assume this as an attack. I am only trying to help :)

Crew is half what it should be, unless you add those two crews together, these are big ships with maintenance heavy systems and they do need a considerable crew.

These dimensions would give your ship the appearance of a floating donut. really for a monohull you want a beam 1/6th to 1/8th of the length, and on a trimiran about 1/3 to 1/5th, with the wider beams more suitable for the big gun ships. You need a displacement too.

With just two reactors the ship is woefully underpowered. This aint a nimitz.

As for weapons, not enough detail really, you need to mention launch systems. Harpoons are launched from quad packs (usually), and Tomahawks from VLS. SAM sites, AA, what types? What calibres?

Visit www.globalsecurity.org and have a look around the weapon systems. It will help you.

Hope this helps a little. Sorry for Douj, he just likes to show off his big boat sometimes. :) Have fun.

Perhaps he needs to show off his big ship to compensate for something else? Lol.

I predict a determined Air/Submarine Attack will sink it.

I see. Perhaps it would be easier for me to buy someone elses ship, make a few minor changes, and then make it the flag ship of the armada :-/

And I did not take it as a personal insult as well. I am always willing to learn and your advice definitly will be put to good use if I ever decide to construct another ship :)

Any ship would be destroyed by that...so...yeah, I predict that too. At the end of the day a warship can be sunk, a plane can be shot down and a tank blown up. Such is the reality of life.

OOC: Super-dreadnoughts are kinda dumb. A few bunker-busters down where the ammunition magazine is = instant pwnage.

I mean, the USS Arizona was totally destroyed after one bomb from a Japanese Zero cooked off the ammo.

Well, there has been advancement in terms of protection since the pre-war Arizona, although any warship has this vulnurability.

To Lorkhan, the following sites are very, very good.

www.globalsecurity.org - info on weapons systems and warships, good when looking for weaponry details and the various powerplants and sensors.

www.hazegray.org - great site listing most of the worlds warships. Gives a good idea of what vessels a navy actually needs.

www.naval-technology.com - another good site for systems and weapons, as well as detailing some development history.

On NS, check out a few of the better storefronts, especially Doujin's, Clan Smoke Jaguar and United Elias, and also look at official navy sites.

Good luck!

Os dois marinheiros ficam de guarda e o oficial começa a colocar os códigos fornecidos pela espia no SPF que tem acesso a todas as informações do Exército e da Marinha.
Começa a a activar os tomahawks e a desenhar rotas a todos eles para fazerem explodir o navio.
Dá a ordem.
De súbito aparece a guarda e a policia militar. Os marinheiros começam a disparar.
Dimitri dá ordem para lançar os misseis contra o navio.
Carrega no botão vermelhos e começa o lançamento dos tomahawks.
Lá fora ficam supreendidos os oficiais e os comandantes com o aparato militar.
Lá dentro o primeiro marinheiro, Robert é baleado mortalmente...
Dimitri não hesita, vai buscar a mala com uma bomba e sarin... e faz-se EXPLODIR!!!

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A explosão destruiu por completo a sala de controlo de armamento.
Os 30 tomahawks viraram contra o navio e ....

Two sailors work together with one of the officers of the command. Robert Falazad and Iuri Ralavoda are the two sailors. Dimitri Frezadas is one of the officers most important in the command. The two sailors are both of Ottoman origin with studies in the United States of America in electrónica. The Officer is Muslim since nascença. Both belong á Cell 2. In an environment of Dimitri party it calls the two sailors and enter in the weapon room. They steal the weapons, three Uzis and enter in the control room. Without pestenejar the officers of the room kill all inside. The two sailors are of guard and the officer starts to place the codes supplied for watches in the SPF that has access to all the information of the Army and the Navy. Tomahawks starts to activating and to draw routes to all they stop making to blow up the ship. She gives the order. Of surprise it appears the guard and she polices it to militate. The sailors start to go off. Dimitri gives order to launch the misseis against the ship. It loads in the button red and it starts the launching of tomahawks. There are are supreendidos the officers and the commanders with the military apparatus. There inside the first sailor, Robert is transferred mortally... Dimitri does not hesitate, goes to search the luggage with a bomb and sarin... and becomes TO BLOW UP! BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The explosion destroyed for complete the room of armament control. The 30 tomahawks had capsized against the ship and....

What I did with my battleships is I attached 60 propulsion engines on the bottom and gave them lots more weapons, since space permitted. That makes them slightly less likely to sink :D

I'm working on upgrading the engines to something like the ST-11 cannons, just without a shell. I've made a lot of stuff by using the same reaction. Say, wrap an electromagnetic bubble around a spout, and drip out a liquid version of the metal. The stuff turns to plasma, and is prolonged by being in the bubble. Out of the bubble, it dies almost instantly, not hitting the ground. It all works.
