NS Military Realism Consultation Thread #6

[Vancon]

Why...?

Ships carry more than enough fuel for most practical purposes. Not everything needs to have INFINITE RANGE.

To help give the appearance of a luxury yacht.

Not for infinite range. For looks. At any rate it's not something I see as a serious idea, just a random thought.

Why not just use a regular cargo ship with some marines on it? It could also carry cargo and not waste space on sails and require the additional training to use them.

Because rule of cool.

I can't remember which thread this was, but a while back I had an idea for a weaponized man-o-war for this very reason. However, it wasn't the most useful.

You know what's cool?
5 megawatt nuclear reactors. And nuclear reactors have superior torque performance.

Who needs to do that.

You're in a man of war. Screw 'main efforts' and 'objectives'; sail around and look like a badass mother-fucker and sing sea shanties.

Is it a bad thing if I really want to do this? Totally not because of dem hats or anything...b-baka.

Then get hit by a single RPG-7 round.

And it blows up.

Wrong green.

[Padnak]

Mon-o-war are the pride of the Jamaican navy.

I kind of want to capture a longsword with a man-o-war now...

They could just manually fire a missile at you.

Sure you can. The trick will be sneaking it on board and in large enough numbers to intoxicate the crew. Not to mention where you are going to find that much fish and make sure it's contaminated.

The trick is to decide which section of the Longsword is most important/valuable to capture once it breaks into four or five pieces and the crew leaves in fear of flooding.
