and sure about the DSRV. but do you have a drawing of the minisub from the hunt for the Red October?

Are DSRVs manned?

1. If you make a battleship, 3 turrets will suffice. 2 fore and 1 aft.

2. The "minisub" from Red October is the DSRV.

3. DSRVs are, of course, manned. They are a rescue vehicle. They are NOT something that a battleship would carry. Traditionally, DSRVs are carried by submarine tenders or specialized rescue ships, NEVER surface combatants like battleships.

Also, they are not combat vehicles in the slightest -- they exist solely to rescue trapped submariners.

Sir, that is the 'minisub' from Hunt for Red October. The Mystic is a DSRV designed to recover crews from downed submarines in relatively shallow water (because military submarines can't survive being lost in deeper waters). I'm not entirely sure why you would put it on a battleship.

Talos aren't very futuristisk either...

Umm, sixteen gun, 4 ABL, Talos without reloading system and illumination, some sort of PAR which the position is rather low, a AEM/S with SPS-40 IIRC and DSRV. You must be kidding me if anyone will pay for this ship with loads of gun and an ancient SAM. Oh yes, where's the bridge?

That's the old AEM/S. The newer one is on the Drawing of Radford that is on the main site. While it is large enough to carry an SPS-49 (not just the 40).

For the record, Danzing was banned for being a troll.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

Wouldn't a futuristic battleship actually have a few small guns and a bunch of ICBMs or other large rockets/missiles meant to target warships and land targets? It'd basically be a big floating missile platform. I have no idea how much space such missiles take up as I know next to nothing about missiles in general, so I can't say how many you could fit, you'd have to look that up on your own.

And the only benefit to something like that would be that it's still harder to find a large floating chunk of steel than it is to find an even larger stationary chunk of dirt and concrete, since those same missiles could be launched from land, or aircraft (depending on the specific missile, or purpose).
