Excuse me, Mr. Arrogance, but not all of us can come up with our own designs that are actually good and not sucking epically. Besides, it's fun RPing with ships you're both familiar with and practically adore.

Eh, I still think it's dumb to RP your navy as consisting of nothing but cannon-heavy dreadnoughts and such and still claim it's the "best evar an wil kill ur navey."

I mean, the most cannon-heavy ships in the GWO Navy are Hamburg-class destroyers, and they're used almost solely to support landing forces.

Much our navy is composed of small, fast hydrofoils, hovercraft, and other small, missile-equipped vessels. There is a small submarine force, but most of the underwater action is carriedout by a number of highly trained Gezoras. Each is about 30 meters (104 feet) tall, and they carry a "Backpack" containing several "canned" torpedoes, transmission equipment, and a six-man crew in a gimbaled life support chamber.

The slayer-class aerial warship
Designed to counter the flaw that a standard navy would have in a desert and landlocked environment. Its state of the art repulsar technology can keep it at high altitudes for extended periods of time. Attempts to make the slayer space worthy have all failed and further attempts have been abandoned due to the increasing cost and complexity of the Slayer's design.

Length: 600M
Width: 100M
Weight: 100,000 tonnes
Top speed: 45mph
Top altitude: 6,000ft
Crew: 400
Armament:
14 Swivel mounted 500mm long guns (7 on each side.)
6 dorsal 127mm AA-mount flak cannons
4 hangers each carrying a complement of 8 light fighters or 2 heavy fighters with escorts.
Armor:
650 mm on face of main turrets
410 mm side armor
200 mm armored deck
230 mm armored deck
700 mm armored belly

The Shaman-class aerial carrier
The Slayer Mk.2 was dubbed "The Shaman" was designed shortly after as a lighter troop carrier. More lightly armed and armoured than the Slayer, it still poses a serious threat to most land based targets. Its job however is to ferry troops to battle.
Image
Length: 550m
Width: 70m
Weight: 73,000 tonnes
Top speed: 45mph
Top altitude: 4,500ft
Crew: 150
Armament:
2 turret mounted 9 x 46.0 cm (18.1 in) guns (2×3)
6 hangers each carrying a complement of 8 light fighters or 2 heavy fighters with escorts.
Troops capacity: 6000 soldiers or 500 tanks

Airships aren't really good for anything but transport, COIN, and C4ISTAR support... the fact that they must be able to lift off severely limits their durability due to weight constrictions, which means that these airships are going to be cannon fodder during conventional warfare, unless you have complete dominance of the air; even then, a few artillery shells would be far more devastating to these than they would to a surface vessel.

When you have twin-arm SLAM launchers, vertical launch F-23s, and rail mounted XB-70 Valkyries I don't think you really need much more. Even the guns are ridiculously OP.
