      Spins so fast it generates the energy needed to power the entire ship.

        The spin creates a tsunami to deliver even more damage.

        Try spinning, that’s a good trick

      that’s why it has a dozen anchors on each side of the hull. proper preparation prevents piss poor projectiling.

      That’s why navies stopped using broadsides and went to turrets about 150 years ago. Well, it’s one of the reasons anyway. Turrets also worked a lot better once you shifted to steam power and didn’t have to worry so much about rigging. Additionally, you could mount a much bigger gun on a turret than you could using broadsides on the sides of a wooden sailing ship.

    So looking at a map.of New Yorks bays and ignoring depth and bridges I’m going to assume this is about 2 miles long or 10,560ft. I have no evidence and just eyeballed it.

    Meaning if you can overcome the skin friction it has a hull speed of about 160mph…without planing.

    Modern carriers have a hull speed in the neighborhood of 45mph (though officially the top speed is like 35mph) and normally cruise at 25-30mph so the slow pokes can keep up.

      I mean we don’t have an issue with super-super super super super firing turrets with no apron turrets or near main secondaries?

      It’s the new nuclear deterrent. Someone starts acting up and you just rotate the boat slightly in its port to face their direction. The parental angry raised eyebrow of national defense.

        Fun trivia for those that didn’t notice. The guns ARE facing the city.
