AS Atalan at the Harbor in Atalan

Displacement: 70,500 tons (standard); 80,965 tons (full load)

Dimensions: 10021' 3" (length overall); 181' 2" (maximum beam)

Powerplant: 272,000 horsepower steam turbines, producing a 76 knot maximum speed

Armament (Main Battery): Eighteen 36"/150 guns in four triple turrets


Armament (Secondary Battery): Thirty-Two 7"/74 guns in ten twin mountings (ten guns on each side of the ship)

Other Information: Two runways on each side of the ship, capable of launching two fighters of any class and size.


Price: 900 Million USD each

A few things wrong here:
1) I doubt this ship can go 76 knots
2) 18 36" guns? The ship would have to be well over 1 million tons
3) With the anti-aircraft guns, or missiles this ship is pretty much defense less
4)Your price is way, way to low.

i totally agree with everything he just said not only that but the day of the battleship is quite numbered (some suggest they are already obeselete)ihowever do not believe with that theory, the great battleship will alwasy be an important part of any navy but yeah its just a little unrealistic for most people, espically at that price, and id like to see it do more than 30 knots

well im not exactly sure on how to make my own store and shit, with my own stuff, i dont know the proportions and whats realistic/not realistic, or the prices.....Help maybe? Link to a thread?

I think you'll find the era of the Battleship is definately not dead here on NationStates. In fact, you'll find some pretty wild designs floating the seas.

Clan Smoke Jaguar has quite a bit of knowlege of military equipment. He's made several threads dealing with the topic. Read through the entire threads, and you should have a good idea on how to make realistic equipment.

[The displacement of a ship is not actual weight but instead the maximum displasement of water allowed before the ship sinks from overloading. Having said that, I agree that to fit guns that large would require a least a million tons displacement. Not unheard of, but rather over the top given that it's a gun only ship.]
