The Colerica Arms Syndicate is proud to offer the following three battleships for sale. While some feel that the battleship is an archaic relic, no longer useful for combat, we feel that they are underestimating the powerful battleships of old. These three mighty battleships are more than enough to fit any nations needs. And, of course, we hope that you buy some of them. :p (OOC: As always, the link to the naval storefront is in the signature. Check it out.) And the CAS is generous enough to offer a sale on the all three of these fine ships. The sale, however, does not last forever. So buy them at their discounted prices while you still can.

Tyrant-class Battleship
While not as large as the more famous Doujin Super-Battleship, the Tyrant-class was produced with practicality in mind. The CAS feels that uber-ships like the Doujin are plainly too big and not needed in this day and age. However, the Tyrant-class offers both grand size, immense firepower, and surprising speed, to make it, as the CAS hopes, a formidable ship that no navy should be without. The Tyrant-class is, for all intensive purposes, an enlarged version of the Iowa battleship, except it has incorporated cruise missile systems and an extra turret containing three 18" guns. Similiar to the Iowa, but packs much more of a punch.

Imperator-class Battleship
The Imperator-class was designed to be the replacement of the Iowa battleships that are currently in the United Empire of Colerica's Imperial Navy. The Imperator-class, along with the Tyrant-class, prove to be two of the mightiest vessels ever imagined. These battleships are second-to-none when it comes to ground-pounding, ship-to-ship conflicts, and escort missions. The CAS feels that no navy should be without a few of both the Tyrant-class and the new Imperator-class battleships. They are simply superior to all other vessels of their type on the market.

The Imperator-class is not as large as her big sister, the Tyrant-class, but it packs equally as much of a punch. Imperator-class battleships are fitted out to be as much of a floating missile platform as they are a big gun cruiser. These ships carry a boatload of missiles (pun not intended). They're efficient at sinking enemy ships, downing enemy planes, obliterating enemy ground fortifications, and escorting smaller or high-interest vessels.

Specs:

Absolutist-class Battleship
The third battleship class produced by the CAS, the Absolutist-class provides an exceptional vessel, for a price that is a little easier to work with than her two larger sister ships, the Tyrant-class and Imperator-class battleships, respectively. The Absolutist-class fills the role of both a gun boat and a floating missile platform. The ship's primary functions include shore bombardment, ship-to-ship combat, and escort missions of key-interest vessels. The ship features an adaquete number of ship-launched missiles, nine 16" guns, (three barrels are mounted in the fartherst bow and stern turrets, with two barrels mounted in each of the other two turrets), the same thickness of armor that is found on the Imperator-class ships, and state-of-the-art electronics and the utmost of technology available. All in all, the Absolutist-class, while not as large as her sisters, gives an excellent chance for navies in need of a battleship, but are on a limited budget.

Bump.....

OOC: Looks pretty damn good, but just a thought: The Tyrant would have a very interesting time firing a broadside, with 12 18" guns, I should think. Of course, I'm no expert, but the recoil would probably throw the ship onto one side quite a few degrees, and cause massive blast damage to the hull. I got that with my first BBN, the Soyuz, which only has 12 16" guns.
