Looks like something that would be used in the Gallic War after the US carrier fleet became several hundred thousand tons of wreckage.

Good work.

Now that I think about it. HBB-23's rudder and props look a little...vulnerable to torpedoes.

That is the least of your worries.

A modern torpedo can one shot any vessel regardless of size and armour.
Just look up the MK48ADCAP on youtube and see what it does.

That's basically an irrelevant concern with a ship like this. It's just a drawing designed to look "cool"... and anyway if it were a real ship it would not be put in a position where it can be torpedoed. Aircraft carriers suffer the same vulnerability after all. Just because you watched a video on YouTube of a Mk.48 torpedo destroying a target ship doesn't automatically make all naval construction worthless.

also, this can be cancelled with enough hull depth compared to it's length. (and I really need to do calculations to backup that claim one day)

You got it right Colo, this time i was more after "look" than "substance".
i think i'll fix at least the sonar dome tough, *facepalm* as it's usefulness it's highly hampered as i had drawn.

Liked this Erusian monster!

Lovering the secondary(8") turrets are means less topweight...so VLS became an higher position!
Personal favourite are the under-ower barelled Vulcan-soviet AK-630 also have an under/ower gatling variant-only one missile ship installed!
Other are the VLS decoy launchers side of forward/aft bridge...
Turrets-like classical japaniese before Yamato or streamlined german...
Have some data anywhere?
Interesting missiles are the VLS suite. One looks like 3M54 klub, one Brahmos, some Standard series!
Waits more about these beauty...
