It’s not a Space Battleship Yamato AU, it’s my own setting set in an alternate version of our own solar system, other nations will have different ship styles.
In space yes, but for planetary landing? Just having a ship land in the ocean is much easier than building dedicated dry docks, and allows it to use existing facilities.
Yes Japanese spaceships are basically Space Battleship Yamato + The Expanse
Also if you’re wondering why Musashi is a BBS instead of a DDAS, well Izumo and Kaga are CVMs now instead of DDHs
Is the third bridge still an absolute hazard like in SBY?
Maybe, luckily the superstructures aren’t usually inhabited, they don’t have windows and are mostly for holding sensors.
Ww2 ref u using
SBY Rahh! Are the main guns railguns?
Coilguns
Ah. Are you planning to go down the canon or fanon route with the navies of other nations?

Nice! Excited to see future stuff
Thank you, no problem.
Ah, here is my very expensive escort for my space carriers.
Space carriers don't make sense in a hard sci-fi setting REEEEEEEE
incorrect, space carriers are meta
Woah woah we dont have any carriers here, just some destroyers with reinforced top.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure. A planefucker and carrier-fucker like me knows an F-35 capable flight deck when I see one.
Is the JS Ayanami nicknamed Rei?
Maybe, also fun fact a lot of Evangelion characters are named after ships
But does it have a Wave Motion Gun?
No Wave Motion Core yet, but it does have an Electron Beam Cannon at the front
I see no reason for the bottom to be painted red. No need for anti-fouling paint in space.
In-universe: the Japanese just liked the look of it.
In reality: just wanted to give more Space Battleship Yamato vibes

submarines are a better fit for space warfare than battleships. got to keep the stealth.
