"The Lonely Queen of The Pacific."

Specs:
Length: 927 ft
Displacement: 60 Tons standard; 90 tons full load
Dimensions: 283m x 36m x 8.7m
_Armament_
12 x 380 mm (15 in) (5x2) - Maximum Range (42 Mi) <--- M 01 Variant
8 x 380 mm (15 in) (4×2) - Maximum Range (42 Mi) <--- M 02 Variant
12 x 150 mm (5.9 in) (6×2)
16 x 105 mm (4.1 in) (8×2)
16 x 120 mm (4.7 in) (8x2)
20 x 37 mm (10×2)
40 x 20 mm (40 x 1)
10 x 4 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile 4 Missile Tube Launchers
10 x 6 Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile Launchers
4 CW-CIWS System:
Which takes the old system; updates the software and re-fitts the hardware unto smaller and lighter as well as more rugged TTFT's which are 10x faster as well and are able to make much more accurate and faster computations for accuracy as well as threat assessment. They come outfitted with IR, NV, AEGIS, and LIDAR. They are integrated to work with the ships AWGIS system and LIDAR which comes with the Doppleganger. The modified CIWS systems come with RADAR and are made much more robust with the use of TTFT's.
16 x Warlock Series torpedo tubes:
The warlock series SuperCav Torpedo. A rocket-propelled weapon that speeds through the water enveloped in a nearly frictionless air bubble—may render obsolete the old submarine strategy of sly maneuvering and silent running to evade the enemy. The superfast torpedo could be outfitted with conventional explosive warheads, nuclear tips or nothing at all—a 5,000-pound, 230-mph missile could do enough damage on its own. A gas ejected uniformly and with enough force through a cavitator in the nose of the torpedo will provide such a bubble, permitting speeds of more than 200 mph and a range of up to 5 miles. The torpedo is also able to make turns; not sharp turns though they are able to be made. This is done, by ejecting more gas toward the outside of the turn. The missile is guided by complex software still being worked on though is roughly in the Beta phase of completion being to navigate and distinctly choose an enemy sub-marine from rock formation aobut 90% of the time. Or it can be fired analog'ly so that it locks onto the head signature or simply is fired straight forward at a target.

Aircraft: 2 Possible Helicopters, or 2 Possible Non VTOL Planes <--- M02 Variant
Propulsion: 1 B2W reactor
Crew: 2,608
Maximum Speed: 36 Knots

Aiming Systems: AEGIS; MK-99 FCS missile fire control; MK-86 GFCS gun fire control. With the use of GPS; Laser Guidance, UAV's and RADAR; LIDAR; Shell-In-Flight-Control-System and lastly simple analog guessing. This has to be the most accurate and powerful battleship EVER made. Similar to the 120mm M1A1 Abrams HEAP rounds which have fins which launch out directly after firing to help precision guide them selves towards thier target. Similar rounds are made by Sparta Infensus to precision kill a target for say. Bombarding a city or taking out a communications tower upon another ship.

Armor: 500 mm-339 mm advanced armour composite (titanium 6/6/2 -fullerenes-Makes up the most of the armor being able to take 250 tons per square centimeter. This is approximately equivalent to dropping four diesel locomotives onto an area the size of one’s fingernail. ), Iron-Fullerenes, Titanium-aluminide, amorphous steel, ceramics-metalla, and Alumina-Oxide); double-bottomed, reinforced keel with void spaces along a honeycomb frame. Carbon=Fullerenes rods and KE-reducing ceramic plates installed and a Iron-Fullerenes bulge space. With the use of a femtosecond laser Sparta Infensus has turned the brittle though strong Ceramics into a more mallauble form which instead of shattering upon impact bends or conforms or acts as a re-fractive making this the best armored ship ever made for such thin and light armor.

Belt: 12.1 in (307 mm),
Bulkheads: 11.3 in (287 mm),
Barbettes: 11.6 to 17.3 in (295 to 339 mm),
Turrets: 19.7 in (500 mm),
Decks: 7.5 in (191 mm)

Price - M 01 - 84.45 Billion
Price - M 02 - 83.40 Billion

Your kidding me. People this thing is better armored that most ships with several inch thick armor!

Quite surprising nobody wants a Battleship with actual accurate guns... =/

OOC: They may be accurate, but compared to the super-dreadnaughts of NationStates with up to four feet of armor, they aren't gonna do much.

[OOC: To be honest your aiming systems are nothing special. Every competent NS navy has shells that can adjust their course using fins. The battleship is mostly good, except for the displacement, which I assume is a typo. I don't know enough about materials to critique the armour composition. The secondary armament is unnecessary - you will never use those small guns and you could put far more useful VLS systems in the space. As for the most powerful battleship ever made? Sorry, but no. Maybe in RL, but for NS this is mediocre at best.]

Its small for an NS ship. However, I am glad that new players are taking interests in battleships! Looks like a fine ship, good first design, however the displacment should be about 80,000 tons.
