This battleship was designed as a ship from the AU-Fallout universe (pre-war, of course!) as a backbone of the European Commonwealth navy in the 2052-2060 war with Middle East nations. The ship was designed to replace aircraft carriers as the main weapon of naval war.
Well, if you live in the world, where the gas prices is about $7450.99 per gallon, you will surely decide that the aircraft carriers and cruise missiles is not very economical, doesn't it? And if you live in the world, where you could build pistol-size laser, that could evaporate human body on one shot - You certainly can build a very effective anti-missile laser!
Description:
"Victory"-сlass battleships were developed by the European Community as a new basic unit of the fleet, designed to be a cheaper equivalent to aircraft carriers. The global fuel crisis and a terrible rise in oil prices did not leave any other choice.
52000-tonnes nuclear-powered warship were armed with two triple-mounted 280-mm extra-long-range cannons. The gas-propelled guided shell could hit the target over the 250 km. Fire control were provided by the ship-based over-the-horizont radar, "Oracle"-class, and ship-based UAV drones.
The main defense systems of the "Victoria"-class battleship were the 8 "Sparkle"-class laser defense CIWS. Secondary amarment include the anti-air missiles and the ship-based "Mistral"-class IRBM, able to transport the nuclear warhead on the 1500 km range.
The first ship in the series of four, the "Victoria", were comissioned in 2052, shortly before the Resourses War started. In 2053, "Victoria" was the flagship of European Commonwealth Mediterranian Navy, leading the european invasion in Lybia and Egypt.
In 2054, after the start of limited nuclear exchange between European Commonwealth and Middle East Nations, "Victoria" participate in "intimidation" nuclear attacks on Cairo and Damascus.
In 18 june 2058, when the "Victoria" sail in East Mediterranian, she was sunk with all crew aborad by the two nuclear anti-ship mines, laid by the Egypt miget submarine C-858.
The combination of phased array and parabolic antenna is quite possible in it!
