The USS US

"FIRE ALL PORT SIDE GUNS!"
does barrel roll
Spins so fast it generates the energy needed to power the entire ship.
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.
Just mind the small thermal exhaust port for the reactor
that's an anus
If someone shoves a proton torpedo up my anus i'd probably blow up as well to be fair
That's America's anus.
Healthcare? 🙅
This? 👀
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.
The average person has no reference for what a knot is. I know and you know, but the layman doesn't. Plus I figured anyone that wants knots can figure it pretty quick.
I'm not sure about the quality of the welding near the waterline.
This ship is the entire Fleet-in-Being doctrine.
It's the new nuclear deterrent. Someone starts acting up and you just rotate the boat slightly in its port to face their direction. The parental angry raised eyebrow of national defense.
Most of my tax dollars are going towards greebling.
It's the fortress-ship from Iain Bank's "Use of Weapons".
How's the command chair?
A little pokey around the ribs.
Not enough guns, and where are the runways?
The USS Go Fuck Yourself.
And the away boats are Guam, Puerto Rico, DC. Et al.
Although yes, it's ridiculous, I'd really love a higher-resolution version to zoom in on. 😁
*USS Executor has entered the Mediterranean
Under total weight I tons, you put “Yes.”
Sooo much power! Limitless power! I feel it in my loins! It's like a 50 piece Voltron of freedom!
… I unironically want this, now
