(Actually, it's the Soviet's idea -- the Kirov-class is designed to pit against a principal fleet by its own)

A plastic warship?


No one said the design of realistic.. or even useful in some aspects. But you got to admit that it looks like a hotrod on water.

Status: offline 		I make out what looks like, 48xVLS tubes (possibly multi-celled), 4xDEWs, (possibly each attacking 5 individual targets or focusing firing on one or more (maybe 10!?) Beams on a single target, from at least 2 turrets simultaneously. Below and aft of the VLS tubes, there are long rectangular hatches that could hide torpedo launchers, possibly for ASW/Torpedo defense, and maybe larger tubes for heavy weight torpedoes. That odd looking cluster atop the PLANAR array might also house DEWs as well. The vessel also seems to have a very well equipped aircraft operations capability, large enough to host several multi-mission attack VTOLUAVs.

With an equivalent level of technologies including: LO, ECM/ECCM, sensors, DC, (armor???) the ship could probably be better defended than a current day CVN.

Status: offline 		According to the article:“The ship would not have a conventional mast but a tethered quad-copter which could be flown above the ship. This tether would be made of carbon nanotubes and cryogenically cooled in order to transmit significant power to the quad-copter for multi-spectral sensors and act as a high-power (i.e. laser) weapon to knock down enemy missiles or aircraft.
