“FIRE ALL PORT SIDE GUNS!”
does barrel roll
Spins so fast it generates the energy needed to power the entire ship.
Try spinning, that’s a good trick
No. NOPREQUELS. NO.
that’s why it has a dozen anchors on each side of the hull. proper preparation prevents piss poor projectiling.
That’s why navies stopped using broadsides and went to turrets about 150 years ago. Well, it’s one of the reasons anyway. Turrets also worked a lot better once you shifted to steam power and didn’t have to worry so much about rigging. Additionally, you could mount a much bigger gun on a turret than you could using broadsides on the sides of a wooden sailing ship.
Healthcare? 🙅
This? 👀
They probably have a med bay
Just mind the small thermal exhaust port for the reactor
The USS US
Us sus?
Always has been 👦 🔫 👩🚀
Wow I just realized us makes up us. Crazy how words be sometimes
That’s because of the way it is.
USS Healthcare for All
so THATS where the budget went
I’m not sure about the quality of the welding near the waterline.
I mean we don’t have an issue with super-super super super super firing turrets with no apron turrets or near main secondaries?
So looking at a map.of New Yorks bays and ignoring depth and bridges I’m going to assume this is about 2 miles long or 10,560ft. I have no evidence and just eyeballed it.
Meaning if you can overcome the skin friction it has a hull speed of about 160mph…without planing.
Modern carriers have a hull speed in the neighborhood of 45mph (though officially the top speed is like 35mph) and normally cruise at 25-30mph so the slow pokes can keep up.

I, too, prefer my measurements in knots uwu
Even with that I still don’t get it. Is that a theoretical max speed?
So, as I understand it, a boat (ship) operating in displacement mode is going to be the most efficient, up until that speed. Past that most of the additional power you put in is going into just shoving water out of the way that really doesn’t want to, rather than fighting friction. Also it’s where the entirety of your ship is trying to climb its own bow wave, so you’re trying to push the whole boat up hill.
If you want to go faster than hull speed you need to have a different hull design like a semi-displacement or planing hull. These are a lot less fuel efficient than displacement hulls as well as some other dosadvantages with weight and bad weather, but if you want to go fast they are your only option.
TL;DR: it’s sort-of a max speed. It’s probably better to describe it as, the speed at which you need to go back to the drawing board for that vehicle.
But what if we just add more engines? And, lest you think it a simplistic idea: what if they were even bigger engines?
Im pretty sure relevatistic laws eventually come into play.
It can go faster, but you wouldn’t want to be on it.
Or near it.
Most of my tax dollars are going towards greebling.
The mass shortage of model kits is the real tragedy.
*USS Executor has entered the Mediterranean
You may need the energy output of a small star to power it
Just shoot all guns at the same time.
The city surrounding it would probably get inundated by all the water this beast is displacing.
Budget & award contact to the private sector first, figure out credibility of defense later.
Needs more skulls and gothic architecture.
And the away boats are Guam, Puerto Rico, DC. Et al.
Nah, the USS Guam is just Guam
No kinda aircraft carrier like an unsinkable island aircraft carrier!
United States of Smash
Ah, so we should name it after Perry.
The USS Dour Motherfucker.
USS “WE’LL MAKE YOU LIKE US”
USS Nice Economy You Got There.
Ultimate admiral dreadnaughts AI is at it again!
