ooc" I used to be Imperila so I've changed I'm no longer a god modder

ic: At 1200 today at the Marne shipport the first ship in the Mystery's Wonder line of Modern Battleship was commisioned. To the sound of thousands of cheers the people celebrated the completion of 20 years of work starting from blueprints and 500 billion Lima Beens. On the platfrom the curent leader declared. "This is a proud day for Lima Beens never before have we had such a grand ship under our control. We will also continue to build these ships at a rate of 2 a year. The next two ships will be named the LBS Hammer and the LBS Sickle. Long Live Lima Beens." Then the newscaster chimmed in to the millions of people watching at home: "This is a battleship if missiles instead of guns. Its size is near unbeivilbe and so is the weapons on board. The Dreadridge is going out to sea for sea trials escorted by 18 Juddah class guided missile frigates, 12 white rose class destroyers and an undisclosed amount of submarines. If you look over my left should you can sea the huge shipyards where they are building this line of ship. Alrady 12 have been laid down. It takes 6 years for one to be completed. And now back to you at the LBNN detwork"

For starters the ship has too light an armament for a ship of that size, you could get that on a mid sized frigate and it's far too big for you to be able to build (unless you're revived).

Armour: 16 inches of a steel/dimond alloy called Diteel on the main hull, 4 inches on the deck, 42 inches surounding the magasine, 54 inches surounding the reactors

OOC: To be the second pedant, an alloy is a mixture of 2 or more metals. So it would be a diamond/steel MIXTURE.

This is a monohull? Even if it is your width is too small. And your displacement is low as well. And your armament is just missiles? And Praetonia is right, the amount of missiles you have on the thing is far too low compared to what you could have, that is if you didn't claim to have that preposterous 54" of cardboard armor.

It's not a Battleship if it doesn't have guns. And guns are hardly useless, quit acting like you know anything :)

I do not know everything I mearly state that battleships with guns instead of missiles do not have a role today in the Lima been navy our missile one can do much. Also I believe that is is a battleship. Why? Cruisers today nolonger have guns yet they are still cruisers same with guided missile frigates. I honor your naval power though. Would you like to buy one of these ships?
