Dreadnought


Given the lack of battleships on the ocean front at the current time, and the outdated use of the of the Iowa Ships, I was thinking of designing a new battleship. The primary idea for this would be a-

Railgun as primary armament- the round possibly dimpled
Nuclear Powered
Several Heavy Machine gun ports
Reduced crew size
Streamlined for speed (like the Iowa)
Torpedo tubes
Several Rocket Stations
A few high caliber guns

and a few other things. Of course the armor would be amazazing and everything. Although I'm not sure on all of the details.

So, I'd like suggestions on what would be cool to add to a 'future' battleship, or a Dreadnought.

Suddenly I'm reminded of Arsenal Gear from MGS, although that didn't have weapons of any kind, excepting electronic warfare.

I know battleships has been used in the 90s as artilliery support.

but if you want a sort of 'gun ship' i suggest a ship equipped with a battery of railguns but since they take up a lot of power they cant have missles on them

...That's completely opposite to the truth, almost so opposite it's... nevermind.

Our current railgun takes over 32,000,000 mega watts to fire once. Missiles take roughly 4,500; if you fire them across a mile long wire, like on an aircraft carrier. So what now?

You should also make it so that it has the "ice-breaker" design on the front (so that it could go anywhere in the world, even to the polar ice-caps), and maybe even a ramming-targe (disregard that).

you could modify an existing air to ship system for use on a battle ship, for example the Exocet Missile System It takes less power and has a range of upwards of 70 Kilometers (43 Miles).
