The Republic Navy like to annouce Brydog's own class of battleships to the world. The Liberty City-Class battleship was designed in 1988 to combat threats with heavy firepower. The ships are design to if needed, fire a nuclear shell at targets. The ship's improved 16.5in guns are a force to recking with. (OOC: The reason Brydogs should not have battleships and nukes :D .)

ooc: what is the armour?

Seems a formidable design, how well does it hold up against opposing battleship designs?

OOC: What kind of armor and missile defenses does it have?
