here at the Genii National neval research and development we have spent many years developing the superheavy Ultimax XX warship. in the process , we have come across many new features and designs. the first step twoards this goal is the first "hybrid battle carrier". the generation calss is the first of this type of ship . she combines the firepower of a heavy battleship with the capacity of a supercarrier.

as this is a new design and , because we are a primarily research and developmet based company, these ships will be selling very cheaply.

individually, the ships incredibly costs only $80bill.

ALSO
we are looking for companies to stock an upcoming line of ships

any nation to purchase a generation class ship gets a discount on the upcoming ultimax Super battlecarrier.

Sub note :
this ship is fully fitted to operate in a radioactive enviroment, good value in a nuclear war.

OOC:
You might want something a little bit bigger for your AA weapons, .50cal weaposn were proved to be more or less totally ineffective prior to ww2, in fact even 20mm guns are considered somewhat useless outside of the CIWS domain (and even there they aren't well regarded on NS). No for AA work you want at least 30mm, prefferably 35 or 40mm. Now this is juts for your light AA mounts, for stuff with a decent range and flak capacity you should be looking at between 3-6"s.

Wire giuded SAMs are as far as i can remember not actually used at all these days, a more useful option would be use a single missile that can use either IR or active radar giudance (like MICA VL: http://www.mbda.net/site/FO/scripts/siteFO_contenu.php?lang=EN&noeu_id=95 )

amended w a few new additions
