like maybe directed ultrasonic or directed current anti-torpedo capability or lasers color tuned for underwater work - things i have thought about now and again...With this thing’s displacement greater than many heavy cruisers, imagine what a modern nuclear battleship would be like? Firing rail guns to accurately nail targets at 115 miles away. Using particle beams to burn anything out of the sky that comes within their range. Probably some equally devastating anti-submarine weaponry.
like maybe directed ultrasonic or directed current anti-torpedo capability or lasers color tuned for underwater work - things i have thought about now and again...Would probably not be as expensive as one of the old ones. Wouldn’t need the heavy armor, and not a gazillon tons of ammo. Just pure firepower.
And amidships, a 50+ cell VLS battery - for those over-the-horizon satellite and ballistic missile kills plus targets beyond rail gun range.
