77 Maritime: Building my Battleship

[Azimech]

Using my own mod Warships (soon on KerbalStuff.com) I'm building my own [s]battlecruiser[/s] battleship in WW2 tradition. Weapons mods are BDArmory and Naval Guns.

It's a bit of a blend between the Missouri and the Bismarck.
Deck guns not yet installed.
Length: 260m.
Beam: 28m.
Draft: to be determined after completion.
Height: 28m.
Tonnage at this time: 8000.
Fuel tanks: 228t.
Boilers: 4.
Electrical Generators: 4.
Turbines: 4.

"WW2 Warships 0.1" will be launched after the weekend, I'll include a simple tutorial to get people on their way.

And I challenge you for a future contest (after 1.1 has arrived).

Weaponry will be 4 38cm dual turrets, 40mm Bofors, radar, AA guns, forward and aft torpedo launchers.

That is one large craft. Interested to see how this one turns out.

Wow that's looking like a beast! I'm sure it will be able to take quite a few hits!

That's awesome. I think I need to go build a new Battleship now.

Working on a pt boat, that battle cruiser is just going to crush it :P I'm working on a Fubuki or a Shimakaze after that. I'm wondering what the part counts for the ships will be... I actually used 2/3 open Mk2 Cargo bays for PT Boats, Mk3 is just a bit to big for it!
