OOC: If you feel something is wrong or amiss with my ship (overpriced, too heavy, to light, etc.....) then please feel free to tell me I will correct it as soon as I can. Also, if anyone can make a picture of it I would greatly appreciate it. By the way, ignore how it might say battleship. That is a mistake it wont let me correct. This is a light cruiser.

IC: Kubra has dedicated much time to developing ships for Kubra. The navy is small and ships that can be produced by Kubra without being subject to the extra costs you pay by buying from a foreign nation. For years, military experts have been creating a ship that meets these demands, as well as has profiecient naval capabilities. So, the Alvin class was made. It is as the following.

Alvin class light cruiser
Function: light anti-air, seaborne artillery
displacement: 26,000 tons
length: 180 yards
beam: 78 yards
speed: 35 knots
power source: nuclear reactor
range: 60,000 kilometres
armaments: 5 5"/38 guns(3 in front, 2 in back), 2 cruise missile launchers, 1 SAM launcher on each side of the ship, 2 anti-air chainguns on each end of the ship, a helipad for a sea-king anti submarine helicopter, anything else a nation wants to add after purchasing
cost: 2.4 billion dollars USD

Manufacturing can take up to 2 years (NS years). Then, we will have a crack team of naval specialists to bring the ship to the port of your choice.

This is at best a light crusier, not a battleship.

This is at best a light crusier, not a battleship. Thanks, I will make the proper edits.

This vessel seems quite overweight for a CL-class vessel. I reccommend changing the tonnage to at most 20 kilotons - not even modern Ticonderoga-class vessels weigh in past that.

Yes, but NS scales up somewhat. In NS, you shouldn't find anything past a light cruiser with 5"/54 guns. RL Comparisons are bad news.

Questions;
Draught?
Complement?
SHP?
How big are these 'cruise missile launchers'?
Armour?

BUT, yes, it's overweight. Drop it down to about 25.

OOC: So one person says it's too small, then everyone else says it's too heavy. Maybe I ought to bring it up to heavy cruiser.

Complement: 1,860
draught: 11 feet (too low?)
mk-26, nothing big like tomahawks
