Oh, this wasn't so bad. Just the result of a bit of a fever dream about if the aircraft carrier hadn't happened and the battleship era continued to the end of the 20th century, resulting in 600,000-ton battleships packing thirty-inch guns. At least this one featured a new electro-optical "virtual" rangefinder instead of the same old one as the US had used since 1938 like the previous class! Bonus points for having literally just scaled up the Iowa class's turrets to proportion the main battery's gunhouses, and trying (and failing) to do a vaguely reduced-RCS set of gunhouses for everything else. Extra special bonus points for having used Springsharp for weight and dimensional calculations and deciding that it makes perfect sense to just scale up the Montana class's dimensions and go with that 70-foot draft...

(I still say the floatplane Reaper I hacked together looks pretty damned cool, though!)
