There are no words to describe this...

Looks like something I'd like to use for Mark 45 Mod 4 or ASROC practice.

I am so embarrassed by some of my fellow folk on NS sometimes. No drawing (thankfully), but had this description of an "ultimate battleship" as the OP of a topic on warships.

so NS what is your main naval warship? (NOT SPACESHIPS!)

Mine is the Finland class Battleship
it is the largest military ship ever completly constructed
Mounting 12 25in heavy guns in 4 triple turrets with 1in 3in 5in and 8in dual purpose guns(WWII) and numerous missle batteries(post vietnam)
also mounting torpedo tubes both below and above deck it is a bristling weapons platform
Defended by 30in of deck armour made from classified materials and with strong underwater submarine RESISTANT armour it can take up 2 torpeados to the same spot and still be intact (the 3rd one will get through though)
cruising just over 35 knots it can out run most dreadnaughts that remain in enemy navies

[insert massive double facepalm here]

A pair of decent modern destroyers could probably hammer it to scrap metal using SSM's at their leisure and never have to get within range of the "Finland's" weapons

This one hilariously found in the 'un-insane ship design thread'. lols...

Phalanx AND 5"/38's??

That, at least, is perfectly sane.
After all, the Iowas all had the same setup.
