British Giant Ship

From PirateCraft

A ship proposed by CrazyPirate as a possible British Empire Super Weapon during the 'Cold War' and run up to the Second Verussian War, in which there was a wide fear in League of Nations of InventorJohn's Entarian Orbital Bombardment System being talked about in the Federated Nations Alliance and of hinting his questioning on the forums.

Specifications[edit | edit source]

The ship would be a 'Super Massive Ship', in discernible size and class, most likely requiring the Indiaman ship class or perhaps 2 interlocking ships which moved in unison with each other creating one ship larger than the current block limit.
The planned armament would have had to likely been of great number and power, with the ship's sides humming with firepower, as well as probably being clad in obsidian too keep the ship relatively safe from the back then, over powered high explosive TNT cannon balls -which were something like a small nuclear warhead- and possible ignition from incendiary cannon shots, to prevent such a costly Super Weapon / Ship from becoming a diving wreck.

However, the British PM at the time Bislo1, scrapped CrazyPirate's idea of the ocean dominating super ship, calling instead for the production of smaller craft, that could serve the same purpose as this monstrous ship could cost, especially when phased with the thought that a lightly armed ship could punch through such obsidian armor easily with a despite costly, diamond shot, which if then followed with a couple of explosive shots, could lead to the destruction of a much more costly construction. This and also the hard and complex possibility of such a ship of engineering expertise could be realized was also a contributing factor to the non-existence of the ship and possibly why none of these ships were ever used.

Further designs for similar ships were put forth by numerous crews since, based on the research conducted by British officials at the time. However none are known to exist in a finished state.
