    "The most lethal surface combatant ever constructed."

    1) It hasnt been constructed.

    2) The Kirov and type 055 are RIGHT THERE

    From what they claim, they want this thing to be even bigger than Orlan, which is 28,000 tons. The Trumpship is supposed to be 40,000 tons.

    Type 055 able to sink it with 40 hypersonic missiles from 2,000 kilometers away lol. What a fucking waste of money. Nevermind the Kirov class’ radar can detect it from halfway across the sea.

    Of course it's AI. You could bet your life savings on that fact. There is absolutely no fucking way that anyone involved could have been bothered to commission an actual artist for these renders, nor would any artist likely be interested in accepting that work if offered.

    To be fair, they've probably got some graphic designers who'd do it, but it's almost certainly AI

    thats the point of missile destroyers. why invest 50x the resources in a ship if 5 smaller, cheaper ones can do the job better?

    that also means the US would have to start producing 406mm shells. i doubt they will put railguns on it. and the point of BBs are big guns. I cant imagine that Trump or Hegseth are intelligent enough to go for function over looks.

    Also main gun slavos would be very easy to shoot down with current day interception tech and the fact that a mass of metal and tnt cant change trajectory

    Yeah this is clearly meant to cheaply demolish a south American coastline to clear an amphibious landing. This is not meant for fighting a navy.

    Battleships are outdated and even aircraft carriers are becoming risky if they are being used against an enemy that has modern missiles. This idea for a modern battleship will end up being negotiated down to recommissioning and/or modernising the Iowa class battleships, then using those to sell the idea of a naval invasion of Venezuela by using them for shore bombardment.

    Xi'an JH-7A Flying Leopard II, Chinese close air support and naval strike fighter. The one in this picture has been loaded with YJ-83 anti-shipping missiles. Admittedly, they'd probably need to use something much bigger than that to destroy it, but fortunately China introduced the DF-21D, the world's first intercontinental anti-shipping ballistic missile... ten years ago.

    Here's hoping they spend billions actually trying to build this.

    The most likely outcome IMO is they'll keep showing Trump AI pictures of the ship until he dies, and then pretend it never happened.

    Our LA class nuclear subs built in the 80s could sink this with literally one torpedo. If any money goes into the construction of this giant POS everyone should be pissed.

    Weren't large battleships discontinued because they sink when hit just like anything else and they're wildly expensive to build? This may end up as the world's most expensive coffin. 

    parent
    3 points Swarm_Queen

    It's less that and more that even with extremely long range guns, aircraft carriers are superior on offense compared to BBs and submarines are superior on defense, with smaller ships made with less resources able to do everything in-between.

    Battleships were antiquated during wwii. Jean Bart and Vanguard got continued out of sunk cost fallacy pretty much and the latter just ended up on royal family limousine duty lol
