OCC : by 2020 I would be entering the digital age (empire earths digital age) so OMG pwned. (J/k. so yeah I would be in the digital age with EE tech)
F-96 "Talon" Joint Strike Fighter
http://www.empireearth.com/img/icon_epoch_air_talon.jpg
Max Speed: Mach 5.85 (at high – medium altitude )
Max Curise : mach 3.5
Low altitude speed : mach 2.4
Wingspan: 35 feet
Max Range: 2,900 nautical miles; unlimited with air refueling
Basic Armament: Various interchangeable air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons; no fixed weapons (Un known total number)
Weight: 35,800 lbs. (max. takeoff)
Crew: 1 pilot
A next-generation avionics system went into the F-96. With it, the Talon could track 100 separate targets, evaluate the threat posed by each, and feed the information to the pilot by both voice and an advanced heads-up display (HUD). The plane could also take many defensive actions by itself, such as dispensing chaff and transmitting a variety of electronic counter measures (ECM) to confuse incoming missiles and jam ground tracking systems. Constructed of advanced composite materials, the strongest and lightest yet developed, the F-96 weighed in at just under 20,000 pounds when empty. The powerful yet fuel-efficient Pratt & Whitney engine provided enough thrust to push the plane to Mach 5.65 at altitudes greater then 50,000 feet. The materials and the plane's curved surfaces also made the F-96 virtually invisible to radar or LAIDAR
the Talon (F-96) sported a suite of state-of-the-art electronics packages.

Launched: 2040
Displacement: Approx. 8,500 tons (fully loaded)
Max Speed: Approx. 37 knots
Length: 464' 6"
Complement: 78
Armament :
Several hyper cavtating torpedo tubes
several High-energy lasers
By the third decade of 21st century, the nature of warfare was changing. The development of high-energy weaponry was in full swing and deployment of the first combat-ready lasers was close at hand. At sea, fleet modernization was badly needed to both prepare for and take advantage of this new class of weapons.
The expanded NATO alliance began programs to redesign all the major categories of naval warships, starting with the destroyer. Every charter member contributed parts and/or systems to the project, with final assembly of the prototype vessel taking place in the UK. In April 2039, the first Nematocyst Class Destroyer was launched with great fanfare. The name referred to its ability to deliver a lethal sting to its targets. The Nematocyst's sea trials were nearly flawless and full production of the destroyer began soon after in both Great Britain and the U.S.
The Nematocyst borrowed many proven design concepts from the DD 21 Zumwalt Class Destroyer, developed by the U.S. 30 years earlier. Communications, navigation, and the automation of basic shipboard functions were adapted from the previous design with some significant enhancements. Numerous stealth features were also incorporated, including minimized radar, acoustic, heat, and magnetic signatures. The biggest changes were made to the weapons, armor, and power system. High-energy lasers replaced surface projectile and missile armaments. A first-generation miniaturized fusion reactor provided the power needed to charge the weapons and run the ship. The reactor also allowed the Nematocyst to remain at sea indefinitely, coming into port only to replenish supplies and exchange crew members. Continuing the 21st century trend of minimizing the complements of naval warships, the Nematocyst carried a crew of only 78 men and women. Ample living and work space helped to maximize quality of life while the vessel was at sea.
Leviathan Class Battleship
Launched: 2043
Displacement: Approx. 40,000 tons (normal)
Max Speed: 37 knots (cruising), 41 knots (short burst)
Length: 656' 2"
Complement: 486
Armament :
Multiple High-energy canons
Multiple main plasma charge
Several hyper cavtating torpedo tubes
Rounding out the late 20th and early 21st century’s the Doujin and several other class of battle ships dominated the seas in power and force ,until the USFU’S "Leviathan" program began in 2030. It was deigned to out class and out power most ships in service during this time.
The Leviathan Class Battleship was the result of the unions grate investment and work in its navy doing major overhauls from 2030 – 2050 (before the grate migration in to space circa 2070 – 2100 ) . Its main guns were capable of firing a contained plasma charge a distance of over 100 km (more than 60 miles).

The Leviathan's powerful laser canons consumed colossal amounts of energy. Each of its four turrets had a dedicated fusion reactor, in addition to the main reactor needed to run the ship. The reactors were cross-connected to provide redundancy, allowing the guns to operate at lower power should one of the reactors go offline. Additionally, the reactors could be chained together to produce bursts of varying intensity. Though theoretically capable of producing a single energy burst of essentially unlimited power (given enough charging time), care had to be taken to keep charges below a certain safety threshold. If containment of a massive charge ever broke down, it would cause a devastating onboard explosion, possibly resulting in the loss of the ship and its crew.
