So if you put the bridge and funnels at the back and shortened the hull, wouldn't it be a somewhat viable design?

What the fuck? When did this happen?

Super-mega-ultra-monster-big ships like this have one problem: unless they are filled up with fire control computers, they couldn't manage to track the number of inbounds they are bound to attract. For $250 BILLION, I could easily afford HUNDREDS more conventional launch platforms... like some Perry class ships, or even Burke clones. We'll say that we use the Burke spam, cause they are more expensive per unit.

Ok, that's $1.843 billion per copy for a FU2011/12 purchase.
We'll make it an even $2 billion to account for development.
This gives me 125 Burke clones with which to attack his single ship.
We'll say that there are an even 20 Harpoons aboard each Burke.
That is only TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED anti-ship missiles inbound- on more vessels than he can conveniently track!

Now, let's go with something FAR more fun... the new Russian Amur class boats would only be $100 Million per copy; and these boats have 10 VLS missile tubes with BhraMos missiles! That gives us TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED individual boats, launching TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND BhraMos missiles against this idiotic thing... which has NO HOPE of hiding. How much computing power would you need to track 25,000 inbounds? How many external sensors?

NS people are idiots.
Bigger ain't better.

I think you're being to hard on this design. It takes about 30 minutes to do a good DTOT with 2 ships. 2500 ships would take considerably longer. While waiting for the magic harpoon strike from hell he can get off about 3000 tomahawks per hour. If they are nuclear tipped, what ever country is on the receiving end is done for. forever. You'd be better off putting some of those Burkes on BMD patrol.
