Darth Sceltor Posted February 17, 2001 Posted February 17, 2001 When I rule the world, I'm going to own this ship. In the bottom picture you can see a 16" projectile flying out of a gun on the far left.
Psycho Tycho Posted February 17, 2001 Posted February 17, 2001 I want to own the USS Monitor. It's pretty old, but it's rotating turret is quite an impression. ------------------ "Oh mah goodness!" -SNL -TyCh Official Forum Psycho

Darth Sceltor Posted February 17, 2001 Author Posted February 17, 2001 Ah, but the Missouri has multiple rotating turrets, 3 of which have multiple guns!

Rebel Loyaltist Posted February 17, 2001 Posted February 17, 2001 I'll take all of ya put ya all in every gun barrell and fire the guns off.
Rogue Nine Posted February 17, 2001 Posted February 17, 2001 Gimme the USS Seawolf anyday. And Tych? The Monitor was blown up. Like after the Civil War. So good luck finding it.
Guest Plasmo Posted February 17, 2001 Posted February 17, 2001 I'm not a big navy fan... in fact I don't much like boats or ships at all. I'm kinda' scared of water. A submarine would make me totally claustrophobic!! Give me a plane anyday. I especially like the WWII bombers and fighters!! I love war movies, they're ma favs!
Nute Gunray Posted February 17, 2001 Posted February 17, 2001 If I rule the world, I wouldn't want a horrendously outdated warship. I would order the construction of a massive vessel with a twin catamaran hull, three quad batteries of rail guns that fire a slug nine feet in diameter, omni-directional EMP emitters capable of disabling anything from a marauding fighter aircraft to an incoming nuclear warhead, a stealth coated superstructure, internal racks to carry a pair of Russian Akulas, 60 fighters/attackers, 10 heavy bombers (possibly B-52s), 40 support aircraft (including a few AWAC and tanker aircraft), and enough VLS tubes, deck mounted cruise missile launchers, 5" guns, Mk.2 Phalanx, and SM-2E launchers to fend off/attack any target smaller than France.

Guest Plasmo Posted February 17, 2001 Posted February 17, 2001 Anybody heard the story of the German ship "Bismark"?? I rest my case Nute!!
Darth Sceltor Posted February 17, 2001 Author Posted February 17, 2001 My ship will launch armor-peircing nuclear shells.
milkshake Posted February 17, 2001 Posted February 17, 2001 Hmmmm, I just had a thought, why don't any millitary ships have Catamaran hulls? It would mean that being top heavy wouldn't be an issue, you could mount bigger gunz on without tipping the boat and you could have twin flight decks. (I am talking about different types of ship not a supership like Nute 'Big target that everyone is going to gang up on' ------------------ Self proclaimed Forum Drunk milkshake@milkshake.co.uk -You call THAT a knife?

Nute Gunray Posted February 17, 2001 Posted February 17, 2001 My ship is SO HUGE that only nuclear weapons could destroy it entirely. Besides, it's defenses are so incredible that it's virtually impossible to hit. A pair of Mk.2 Phalanx controlled by the Aegis air defense system can down 97% of any incoming weapon. You get hundreds of those and combine them with EMP weapons and you can't HIT me.
Guest Plasmo Posted February 17, 2001 Posted February 17, 2001 The Bismark was a german ship that they built to be invincible and undetectable. Needless to say, the allies found it and sunk it because they had smaller ships and could outmanouvre it!! Then they named a donut after it!! Mmmmmm...vanilla pudding filled with chocolate on top!!
Nute Gunray Posted February 17, 2001 Posted February 17, 2001 I know all about the Bismarck They scuttled her! There's no way those little Swordfish divebombers killed her!
Darth Sceltor Posted February 18, 2001 Author Posted February 18, 2001 Which battleship was that in U-571 that got destroyed at the end?
Nute Gunray Posted February 18, 2001 Posted February 18, 2001 An EXTREMELY CRUDE 3d model of the basic shape of my vessel, which I have named the INV Hurricane. Alongside her is the USS Saratoga, for scale.
milkshake Posted February 18, 2001 Posted February 18, 2001 Nute, there is any obvious weakness, a ship could pull up right along side her and because your sides are so high the smaller ship would be safe. Oh, and good luck making it float ------------------ Self proclaimed Forum 90's Dude milkshake@milkshake.co.uk 'Now, if I could just say a few words, I'd be a better public speaker.

Nute Gunray Posted February 18, 2001 Posted February 18, 2001 i bet not, considering the primary weapons have a range in the hundreds of miles and it's bombers have a range of thousands of miles. You'd been lucky to get your ship close enough to fire on me.
JR2000Z Posted February 18, 2001 Posted February 18, 2001 Who would want to own a metal piece of crap? Im sure kazilllions of them were destroyed on last nights Iraq bombing.Now if we had space ships and mobile suits...
