Design battleship to the brim with CIWS
Have a few token main guns
Park ship inside the enemy’s missile range to theoretically fire guns
Spend entire hostility mulching their missiles as they focus on you
With the success of drones in Ukraine, I wonder if the future’s just going to be midget drone-mothership subs.
midget drone-mothership subs.
So is it a the mothership that’s a drone, or the midget subs? The latter would make more sense.
It would be a regular sized sub that’s a drone mothership, crewed entirely by midgets
Drones must be terrifying for midgets.
bro just raise the radar bro the horizon will be further away bro totally time for countermeasures bro
The Pagoda Mast was a good idea, but not tall enough. 40m? C’mon, with modern tech we can do 100m easy.
Just make a hovering AWACS that can hold U2 elevation. Then the gunship could hit targets across the pacific.
ZEPPELINS ARE BACK BABY
Rigid frame airship.
The term “Zeppelin” makes people nervous. They think they’re made with lead.
Modern Zeppelin are semi-rigid 😛
And ribbed for her pleasure.
Y not tethered awacs weatherballon??
massively parallel synthetic aperture awacs via drone swarm
AC-5 Funship enters the chat
At that point it would be easier for it to be an orbital (intraplanetary?) platform, pic for reference https://files.catbox.moe/cejyk6.jpg
but then we wouldn’t be defeating the whining about water battleships and the horizon
Plenty of horizon in low orbit!
But does it go “brrrrrrrrrrt” ?
Scale it up.
KABOOM > brrrrrrrt
Gets lasered out*
