Description

So, here's the "latest" rendition of my Sumer Class BattleCruiser. It's actually been on my dard drive a month, but I'm in the mood to "express" something, so here you go.

Generally, it's nowhere near complete. But the design is simple, thick armor, big guns, designed to rush into the middle of a warship formation shrugging off damage from anti-shipping missiles and those crummy small caliber (5 inch = small) guns modern warships use now, and tear through things like Aircraft Carriers, and Cruisers at near point blank range (100m or less). So, thick armor, big guns. I also added a number of anti-shipping cruise missile tubes to deal with those pesky Destroyers and Missile Cruisers who don't actually merit any effort in combating. Probably going to add a pair of turrets housing 125mm guns as well, for small matters too close for a missile.

And for refrence, those are supposed to be 50cm (20 inch) guns, very long guns at that. Same basic idea as a tank gun, longer the barrell, more powerful the gun. And those are helicopter hangars at the back, basicly stolen from a Russian Destroyer design.

FYI, no amount of armor can really protect a ship from missiles. Missiles hit MUCH harder than shells, and more to the point, can be aimed for parts of the ship that arn't as well armored (the deck) or parts that arn't significantly armored at all (the superstructure).
