|Ship Name: USS [i]Navassa Island[/i] |Ship Class: Battlecruiser |Ship Hull Classification Symbol: CB-4 |Ship Role: Heavy battlegroup escort, strike force vessel leader |Armament: - 1x BAE 90mm railgun - 4x 5"/54 (Mk. 21 family) naval guns - 140x VLS tubes - 4x Mk. 30 launchers - 4x Phalanx-C CIWS - 2x RAM launchers - 6x Mk. 40 torpedo launchers - 4x M242 25mm cannons - 2x LaWS |Aircraft: - 1x V-22 Osprey - 2x MH-60S Seahawk - 4x MQ-8 Fire Scout - 2x ScanEagle |Boats: - 4x RHIBs - 2x Fleet USVs |Dimensions: - Length: 927 ft 9 in - Beam: 152 ft 6 in - Draft: 42 ft (mean), 50 ft 3 in (maximum) |Speed: 45 kn maximum, 30 kn cruising |Crew: 789 (73 officers, 716 enlisted) |Motto: [i]Freedom through Dominance[/i] |Other: Designed in anticipation of conventional conflicts with powers in the Pacific, the [i]Navassa Island[/i] is an experimental "large cruiser" that focuses on using overwhelming firepower to defeat increasingly-advanced vessels from, say, China. The resurgence of naval guns reflects a new shift to frugality in the Navy, using gunfire support as opposed to expensive Tomahawk missile strikes (even if the ability is still found on the ship.) As such, sensors and countermeasures are considered to be top-notch to counter new and anticipated designs from foreign nations. The [i]Navassa Island[/i]'s primary focus of strike group command allows it to lead a flotilla to engage and destroy enemy targets in extreme offensive measures, while its armament suffices for carrier group escort as well. I'll get to the rest later, maybe with schematics to go with the app.
