Considering your uninspired comedic performance before now, I'll be forced to assume you're making this up until you prove otherwise.

You kind of have to use nuclear weapons in an FT setting. Besides, ICly, Grenartia is Earth unified after a 2030s/2040s nuclear war, with several other colonies. So dealing with radiation and other nuclear shit is rather mundane.

This is NS you don't have to worry about copyright on weapons names. And a Nuclear blast on its own will not cause a Tsunami. There were ideas for causing Tsunamis using nonnuclear bombs however none of them were ever implemented. And they wouldn't work well with nukes due to the way that they have to be detonated. (In a long line of explosives as opposed to a single point)

Are battleships really that useful when aircraft carriers are available? Seems to me their versatility would be limited.

No, it's much more fun to blame it on nature due to a Tsunami massacring people by the millions. :lol2: :twisted: :lol2:

Yeah except it will be very very easy tp see that the nuke caused it. When you use a nuclear weapon its really really easy to see that its been used. The Flash of detonation, the initial radiation, seismograph data and all of the various radioisotope gases left afterwords are all easy to detect.

That's fair. I'd however think the psychological effect of air raids would be significantly higher than bombardment.
