AC . Aurorean Diamond Class Super Carrier

[Delfos]

Neither did we running similar turbines anywhere or diesel-electric ships and subs.

[Delfos]

Can we agree on the propulsion?

2x RR MT-30 Gas Turbine and 4x Diesel Electric backups?
2x Naval sized Nuclear Reactor? (yet to be determined)
Very Expensive Research on Nuclear Processed Beta-ray batteries?

In case you need to know what a beta-ray battery is, it's an experimental process to use nuclear fusioned material that has it's own energy and use it till it fades, takes around 25 years to fade, 12 and so years to fade to half the energy.
It's nice, but...creating enough material to fill a battery for a carrier might not be very economic or even possible. Probably better if we stick with the ensured working ways.

[Templarios]

Im saying 2x Naval sized Nuclear Reactor because of the safety issue of fuel carrying on board.

[Validus]

We could have the carrier be modular, take both the Nuclear the the Diesel engines. Validus perfers nuclear because its clean and easy and in the long run cheaper then Diesel.

[Delfos]

Yes, anyone can fit those modules. Nuclear is our prime project, with variant for gas turbofan and diesel-electric engines.

[Templarios]

What are the numbers in terms of crew per ship?

My nation approved the design with modules and nuclear engines.

[Delfos]

2000/3000 somewhere around that.

We could discuss the armament now.

[Templarios]

What class is the carrier going to be?

If a large carrier, i am correct is assuming that my nation is given the light carrier from your nation in exchange for helping with this project?

[Delfos]

it's a super-carrier, it probably won't be the largest (smaller than Nimitz class), but will be the largest STOBAR carrier made.

Yes we're making the details of our contract, your representatives have expressed interest in helping but they wouldn't need a large carrier, so in exchange for a small portion of the project budget and no deliveries, together with the electric installation that we've heard your technicians were very good at, ND will offer the Navirsk Carrier, a small light carrier.


Looks like this

[Validus]

I would recommend that we have a mix of Close in Mini guns and longer range Missiles, all in the anti fighter/missile role. No anti ship missiles as it takes space on the deck, and that this ship wont be traveling by its self and will have a strike group with it.

We recommend either the Phalanx CIWS or the Goalkeeper CIWS, and the RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile as well as the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile.

~Thanato

[Delfos]

ooc: good approach, I like the American RAMs but maybe we can have the Russian version of phalanx.

CIWS
Goalkeeper CIWS - agreed
Kashtan M CIWS - secondary proposal

AA system
Principal Anti Air Missile System (PAAMS) - proposal
+ SYLVER A-50 launcher - proposal
++ AA Aster missiles - proposal

Manned portable AA weapon
Mistral - proposal

RAM (maybe ruling out RAM for the armament above?)
RIM-162 - dismissal?

even without knowing Russian, they're both very impressive.

Bear in mind a Super carrier will be carrying a huge amount of aviation fuel and explosives so worrying about the safety of any conventional fuel seems a little unnecessary.  We have slight issues with nuclear powered ships and considering the strategic location of the Selid republic and the fact that it will therefore probably be a major location for Coalition forces specifically naval forces.
