Determination Class (of Battleships)

Last crawled date: 1 year, 7 months ago

This is my third Battleship (Class). It is obviously completely fantastical, as it is 2000 ft long. However, the armament is all in existence, even if there is a never-before-heard-of multitude of it. So, it is armed as follows, 12 x 18” guns, 40 x 5” guns, 14 x quad 40mms, 68 x single 40mms, 7 x 6-barreled 1” CIWSs, 8 x triple 36” torpedo tubes, and 24 x missile tubes. In choosing this armament, I assumed that the 18” guns and 5” guns would use rocket assisted projectiles, extending their range to over 100,000 yards, that is, well over the horizon. Also, they would presumably be guided (e.g. GPS guidance, like the JDAM), providing extreme accuracy. These projectiles would then take the role of much more expensive missiles, which is why I only have a few missile launchers. I also have a carrier deck on the bow. With an 800’ length, this is just as long as the operational length on a Nimitz class carrier, the world’s largest class of carriers. I intend for the ship to be able to support up to 40 aircraft, stored in the hanger deck. As for the power plant, the N in HNS Determination means that it uses a nuclear power source. However, as a back up, I included an auxiliary Diesel plant, as indicated by the exhausts near the stern on the sides of the ship. #Battle #Battleship #BB #Boat #Class #Determination #Disastermanx #HNS #Navy #Ship #War #Warship
