Total production cost 35 bill.


The Interficeo landing craft.
This landing craft can go right up to shore and unload a tank plus 50 soldiers. The design is simple sort of ww2 style but it can travel fast and hold a lot of weight. It can go about 60 miles an hour but is easily destroyed. The are also used as emergency escape boats. It has no guns no radar and 4 inch armor. They are specially designed for the ship and cost an extra 5bill. So with the carrier and landing craft it costs 40 bill.

All production/selling rights belong to the country of skylar ferguson. if anyone violates this they wil be sued.


total unit cost: 60 bill

Aren't you the one who follows the calculators to the word?

In short this is a clear godmode. You have not gone through any of this technology on the NS draft board and you are too small to produce this. If I see any of these ships expect it to be ignored. Why don't you read the stickies and stick to common advice.

OOC: Fordock, there are nicer ways to say that.

Skylar, I suggest that you join one of the NS Draftrooms (http://z13.invisionfree.com/The_NS_Draftroom/index.php?act=idx) (I was only able to find one, if someone could provide the other and the link, all the better). There you can get advice and criticism on your designs and make sure that they aren't as much of a "clear godmode" as Fordock would call it.

I would be nicer if it wasn't his 3rd offense I hadn't said the same thing several times earlier.

If you are going to say stuff like that, then don't comment. He is new, cut him some slack.

That is the new draftroom. GO THAR AT ONCE :P

Simply because he's done it 3 times doesn't mean you can snap at him.

And go to the draftroom link the others supplied. The one I found is the much less desirable one.

Hmmm. Your radar is sonar, you put guns and missiles on a boat whose primary armament is supposed to be airplanes, and its width is over half its length. Not to mention, it has ten personnel for every airplane, when the US standard is about 70 or 80 per plane, and with NS's more advanced planes you could easily raise that to 100 per plane.

I must say it's certainly..... er..... unique.

Just to correct a few things you said, the ship is a kilometer long and just over 200 meters wide, 200 is a fifth of a kilometer, not over half. Also im not arguing but why does the US need 70-80 personnel per plane? It just seems weird...

Ok so Ill fix the radar then plus its a multi purpose ship.

I think the ship has been made to the publics liking. It is a multi purpose ship so dont bug me about how it has guns.

I have just registered to the nationstates draft. This ship should be in circulation soon.

Pre orders my now be made.

OOC: What is this carrier supposed to compete with? The Davidson class?

?

logan and ky did not mean to post that me and my brother share a comp so i forgot to log out of his account. think of it as me posting it

Can someone please aprove of this

No because it is completely impractical, misshapen, and a giant target for anyone with a Scud.

Can someone try to draw a picture of this.

Total of 1 bill

To make use of all these launchers half of your 40,000 complement will be busy launching hand-held SAMs. Which are the carrier's only antiaircraft weapons.

That's some efficient air defence there.

1 person can luanch more than 1 missile.

[ Not really. Aircraft, especially advanced aircraft, need much more personnel than your standard pit crew, simply because the repairs, maintenance, re-fuelling, re-arming, and whatever else I'm not thinking of at the moment is so complex that increased manpower is simply unavoidable. ]

Tag for interest!

I'd love to see one of my superdreadnoughts (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13020319&postcount=1) destroy this in a sea battle. Though I'd probably only need a guy with an AK-47 to take your ill-designed hunk of steel down.

OOC: That makes sense, thanks, I really was just curious.

correction, it would take mastercheif, The Arbiter, and Cpt. Scott Micthell with anti-ship missile to take it down.

My scanner isn't working and i dont have microsoft publisher or whatever you draw it on so could someone else help me out by drawing one

There are not enough hours in the day.... hell... enough days in the week for me to fully rant about this ship. It's not a question of "What's wrong with it?", it's "What's right with it?".

Recent survey's have said that the optimal amount of aircraft for a carrier to have is 100 fixed wing and maybe 20-30 helos or even fewer. This thing is so monterously big that you will spend more money building a harbour for it than on the ship itself. This carrier is just impractical... simple as that.

You've stuffed three classes in one here, LCP, CVN and BB. Chose on or the other. Carriers DON'T have cannons because fighter jets are more accurate and deadly at killing things than shells are. Why have cannons on a carrier when you've got over 100 hundred planes!?

I'd love to see one of my superdreadnoughts destroy this in a sea battle. Though I'd probably only need a guy with an AK-47 to take your ill-designed hunk of steel down.

An AK might not cut it. LOL, and LOL again for your post. But realistically you'll need 20-30 attack aircraft. So what if the carrier has more aircraft, it will be so crowded on the flight deck that they'll only be able to scamble twelve or so and by that time the ship is a sinking coffin.

Heck even a small task force ranging from destroyers to cruisers could sink this (with some subs) let alone an SDN.

I say build it and sell it Skylar Ferguson!! Build, build, build, simply because my sub commanders are ranked like the German U-Boat commanders were in WWII, by the amount of of tonnage they have sunk. With these babies floating around it's easy pickings and straight away they have 810,000 tons in the piggy bank.

I emplore you to build this thing en mass for the benefit of the up and coming submarine commanders of every nation on the planet.

um i was about to fix the helicopters. I just designed the ship my goal is to sell the production rights. I already have people interested in buying the production rights.
