The RENG Class Battleship is a new beginning for the nation of Elloris. Not only is it huge in comparison to other battleships it’s armaments are also huge. This is the first time that Elloris has used its 80 caliber and 84 caliber guns. The ship is made specifically to be the best due to the fact that Elloris depends on its Navy for defense. This battleship is made strong, thick, and fast.

The Office of Military Technology has also included new systems in the enhancement of this ship, the new N1 ELTS (Elloris Laser Targeting System) and the N1 ESS (Elloris Sonar System). The targeting system is specially made to help with aiming its guns, torpedoes, and AA guns.

I'm tired but, you'll never make 54 knots. Many Hydrofoils are lucky to make that.

You have a smaller crew than the Iowa, yet manage to displace nearly twice the water Iowa does.

It is longer, wider, and deeper than the Iowa, with no missiles at all or aircraft complement.

It has much more guns that can possibly fit.

Someone else has to catch the rest of the problems with this thing.

It also has no Missiles and no CIWS gun so it can easily be destroyed by missile spam.

It has AA Guns. They're pointless on NS. Ya cant shoot down planes with em... and ya definitely cant sink a ship with em.

It's also only eighty million USD. I'd be hard pressed to find a good Fighter that cheap.

This is a 400m NS battleship with massive guns. Arleigh Burke is a RL <200m destroyer. The destroyer costs about $1bn. Your battleship should cost much, much more.

Displacement: 71,421 Tons
So it displaces the same as a Montana class (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montana_Class) battleship whilst being 120m longer?

Way too fast. Conventional ships simply cannot reach 52kts for hydrodynamic reasons. A realistic top speed would be in the 30s.

This is the most broken part of this battleship. A 24"/80 gun is 49m long. The turret is longer but I will assume for the sake of argument that they superfire by quite a bit so each turret only takes up deckspace equal to the length of the gun (usually this is not the case, so the numbers are being tilted in your favour). With 6 turrets the guns alone take up 290m of deck space, leaving only a quarter of the deck space for the bow, stern and superstructure - things that on a sane design take up half to three-quarters of available deck space. Either the armament is wrong, or the dimensions are wrong, and the displacement is even more wrong than it was originally. The Germans and Japanese thought they could mount three or four 20" gun turrets on a ~400m hull. NS designs that carry an armament similar to the one you listed (including some which are drawn out to scale) are 800m - 1,000m long.
