It must be said, I wouldn't like spending 4-5 hours on one of those things. It's going to roll like a mother.

Okay, so I'm assuming that you're either crossing small channels or it's going to be towed across longer stretches by larger ships? Hmm...

Right, you still need directors for your guns. You need communications and a fighting top (mast?). You need AA guns.

It will not need AA as in the posable AU aircraft never took off.

What about lighter than air bombers?

Okay, anyway, you still need the other stuff. Gun directors, comms etc..

A tiny bit. I still don't understand why you don't set your second gun in a super firing position though?
Also, your design is pretty damn top heavy and you still need a mast for comms and a fighting top and such...

That is what the ballast tanks are for.

Can you stop just answering bits of my post?
Also, I assume it will spend most of its sailing time with the ballast tanks empty, and therefore massively top heavy.
What level will it be sunk too when the tanks are full?
Also: I still don't understand why you don't set your second gun in a super firing position though?

Please answer my entire post this time.
