So, here is an AHC, I know its been done a fair number of times before, but, I would like your opinion in anyway.

The following end result must be achieved by no more than 3 semi-minor PoD's

1: All MAJOR countries fleets (US-Russia-China-France-UK and possibly a few others) have at least 1 dedicated surface to surface heavy ship with a total displacement of at least 50.000 tons.

2: Such a ship is designed for a class similar to Carriers, so very little to no independent AA or ASW.

3: The designated military niche for such a ship is mostly against heavy enemy ships and / or ground bombartment.

I'm not interested in the TL itself, I am however interested in the technical side of what such a ship would be like.

What kind of destructive power and at what accuracy could such a ship project. Assuming it is designed primarily for long distance artillery against ground targets but is considered a Flagship so no expenses are spared when built.

So.

TL;DR. Design a modern battleship, call it USS Obama and describe design and what kind of hitting power would it have. Spare no expenses, think, "Race to the moon" design budget. Think, gargantuan, think, military industrial complex.

Go!
