Occ: This i smy first ship design, and if anyone has any constructive comments I would be open to hearing them. Also this is not for sale and I'm not sure if it will be, so don't ask.

bump

*sigh* come on now. Doujin where are you? You always have something to say about ship designs.

Last bump. If there are no comments/complaints about this design then I will consider worthy to build and will begin to construct them for use in my navy.

OOC: I was avoiding this for a reason :p [/exit]

A pic would be nice, but I can understand if you can't find one that suits your needs. Now, since I'm not a naval expert, I'll use my mental image of the Nimitz-class as a standard...which has four catapults. Where do your six catapults come in? Also, the Nimitz has around 85-100 aircraft; yours has 160...I don't know the length of the Nimitz off the top of my head, but make sure your carrier is larger to compensate.

I believe the Nimitz has two reactors, but I'm not sure and could be wrong. Again, I'm not a naval expert. 25 knots is a bit slow, every knot makes a difference...it would help if you had some sort of type-up, compiling together a bunch of stats and putting a name on it won't do these days...

By the way, what's the reasoning behind the 'Seahorse' name? Most US naval vessels are named after famous people or places, and quite a few NS vessels are named for intimidation or the like (Leviathan). Sea horse? ;)

Finally some comments lol

This is basically just a copy of the Nimitz but the size has been nearly doubled. Other than that I have just added some things and stuff like that. But I am currently attempting to learn more about naval equipment via our good friends at global security, and I hope to be able to move farther and farther away from conventional designs one day.

Lol, well I picked the name sea horse because the male sea horse carries the females eggs around in a pouch. Ive gotta work on my names too.
