Okay.
If you want to tear yourself in half when firing a single gun or capsize from it, go for it.
You realize that Admiral Hipper, a ship of similar size, carries only 8" guns?

Recoil scales up as gun caliber increases- not proportionally, though. If you want perspective, a 16 inch gun will have around half the recoil of a 21 inch gun. The best your ship could mount is 12 inch if you want such a quick vessel of light tonnage.

WIP All is subject to change, constructive criticism is welcome.
Name: GSS Österáls (Ousteraels, Oss)
Type: Battleship
Class: Revolution-class
Role: Originally designed to battle with larger ships and provide artillery support for ground forces.
Nation of origin: The Mechanist Combine
Year commissioned: 1912
Image or description of the ship girl/boy:
(The eyes are a brown red)

Gender: Female
Character: Österáls is generally a kind and helpful individual, although at times she can be prideful and headstrong. She can often be found reading in public places around the base during her off time, both willing and happy to talk to others in the room with her, she may also be playing games in her room while off duty. She enjoys reading, gaming, homemade cigarettes, vodka and guinness.
Special abilities:
Technical Description of the vessel: The GSS Österáls was the first and last ship of its class, made right after the Mechanist Revolution and designed to show the people what their great nation was capable of. During the first world war she saw action almost constantly, being a national symbol her destruction would greatly have weakened the moral of the homeland. She would endure though, surviving its duration and beyond. Although by the time of the Mechanist-Kantolian war she was outdated compared to modern ship standards she was sent into combat any how, the nation unsure of their foe's naval power. Here she nearly met her end, she was crippled during the battle of Elkian Reef (1934) but made her way home.
This brought the ships glaring flaws to the navies attention, the lack of speed and poor pain gun performance was this ships downfall, but they had her repaired and upgraded, making her more modernised. While her main gun remained unchanged her hull and other weapons received a much needed upgrade. She did though meet her end two years later during the second world war, during the battle of Brisk (1943), a larger ship let loose a full salvo at the Österáls, one lucky shot hit a weakened section of armor and detonating it her main ammunition hold.
The GSS Österáls was designed with coastal defence and strength in mind. It was made to hit hard and take hard hits, it is not on the other hand fast, more often than not lagging behind many other battleships. the GSS Österáls was the first and only ship of her class. Her 20 inch cannon, an experimental gun is powerful and deadly, although it has a slow turn speed makes it a nightmare the track and hit fast moving targets. The 10 and 12 inch guns tend to be reliable but slow moving and the 5 inch guns are both reliable and have a fairly quick turning speed but lack much bang for their buck. Her lack of AA equipment also makes her extremely vulnerable to air attacks.

Her fault for using the accent on him. While it is true for some of his kind, Most Parcians tend to speak a more classical Roman-esq tone.

As for him, he was laid down in Anglia (UK) As such, his accent his heavily British.

Personnel file - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name: HMBS Legate
Type: Aircraft Carrier
Class: (as built) King George V-class dreadnought battleship, (as converted) Legate-class fleet carrier
Role: Heavily Armored Fleet Carrier
Nation of origin: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland/Dominion of Bermuda
Year commissioned: 1911 (as HMS Centurion), 1939 (as HMBS Legate)
Image or description of the ship girl/boy: It's shit but 'tis the best I can do.
Gender: Female
Character: Legate is first and foremost refined and "proper", while perhaps not the perfect example of the British upper class at least a good representation of the upper class' sense of style, even holding the rather silly belief that women should wear dresses. However, she maintains an optimistic, friendly attitude, never quite belittling anybody that hasn't done something really bad without a tone somewhere between vague bemusement and feigned disappointment. Vaguely motherly. She hasn't quite adjusted to the whole "not being a dreadnought battleship" thing yet. And don't bring up her time as a target ship. Just don't.
Special abilities: She's a fairly short, very armored carrier. She carries 20 of the greatest aircraft of all time, the FAIREY SWORDFISH! That's... about it. Might add more if I think of it.
Technical Description of the vessel: HMBS Legate started her life as HMS Centurion, a British-made King George V-class dreadnought battleship commissioned in 1911. Centurion served in the Great War to a limited extent, mostly patrolling the North Sea. She did, however, participate in the massive Battle of Jutland, taking formation in the main line of battle. She fired a few volleys before the fellow battleship HMS Orion blocked her line of fire. After Jutland, she returned to patrolling the North Sea. She became the flagship of the Reserve Fleet after the end of the War, before being converted into an unarmed radio-controlled target ship in 1924 to comply with the Washington Naval Treaty.

By 1935, the situation had changed. Nazi Germany, under Adolf Hitler, revealed itself to be re-arming at a worrying rate. Despite the Anglo-German Naval Agreement, the British were still worried about a revived German Kriegsmarine. With the Kriegsmarine in mind, somebody came up with a brilliant plan. The Dominion of Bermuda was the newest Dominion in the Commonwealth, only created earlier that year. As such, the Washington Naval Treaty which still haunted the Royal Navy didn't apply to it. They sold the old Centurion to the Dominion of Bermuda and ordered them to convert it into a manned aircraft carrier. It took 4 years. However, the re-construction of the Centurion did employ many Bermudians, and, when Legate was finally completed, she stood as a symbol of pride for the small new Dominion. HMBS Legate would go on to participate in World War II's Atlantic Theater, primarily in the Mediterranean against the Italian Regina Marina. However, her aircraft provided close air support to Bermudian forces storming Sword Beach during Operation Overlord, and she provided close air support in several battles in harbor towns as the war progressed. For her actions she earned the nickname "Landlubber". After the war she remained the flagship of the Bermudian Navy even into the Revolution of 1950, where she was struck by a torpedo from a British submarine. Her commander ran her aground, saving the lives of her crew. In 1951 she was restored and converted into a museum ship for her historical value. She was undamaged in the 1955 Civil War. Technically, she remains commissioned in the Fascist Bermudan Navy to the modern day, even though she remains aground.

So this is what physics is called.
Your displacement doesn't match your armament- it would be more like 500,000 tons with such an armament.
Your size is nowhere near your weight. With a 710 foot long ship, you would be more like 35,000 tons in such a case. Also, 30 inch guns in 1912? They would take literal ages to reload. 16 inch guns in 1920 take as long as a 20 inch gun in 1941 to fire. So, that's my reasoning. Your ship can't float, And radar hasn't even been invented in 1912.

Also, you have the same naval acronym as Catherine.

If you want a ship of this size, you could carry 18" and 6" guns if you're extremely generous. And, you'd be around 40,000 tons with that.
If you want perspective on how much armor you should have- Yamato, the most heavily armored battleship, had only 16 inches on the belt.

He's talking about Rustyal's Caty and, I would guess, MC's Oss. Btw, NA, you aren't the first one to call Caty the PT-version of the Longsword.
And Caty was accepted under a lot of restrictions, which will be observed and which would actually make her the ideal candidate for Flagship.

As for Oss:

I have seen the WiP-tag and I must agree with Rustyal here on several things, namely, that this thing is with 1912-technology simply impossible. Not to mention, that radar hadn't been invented by that time. The present version's powerplant does sound interesting, especially the four-cylinder-arrangement, but the armament and weight are simply beyond anything.
Please go over it, and the OOC-section (RP-sample), once more.

However, she maintains an optimistic, friendly attitude, never quite belittling anybody that hasn't done something really bad without a tone somewhere between vague bemusement and feigned disappointment. Vaguely motherly. She hasn't quite adjusted to the whole "not being a dreadnought battleship" thing yet. And don't bring up her time as a target ship. Just don't.
Special abilities: She's a fairly short, very armored carrier. She carries 20 of the greatest aircraft of all time, the FAIREY SWORDFISH! That's... about it. Might add more if I think of it.
Technical Description of the vessel: HMBS Legate started her life as HMS Centurion, a British-made King George V-class dreadnought battleship commissioned in 1911. Centurion served in the Great War to a limited extent, mostly patrolling the North Sea. She did, however, participate in the massive Battle of Jutland, taking formation in the main line of battle. She fired a few volleys before the fellow battleship HMS Orion blocked her line of fire. After Jutland, she returned to patrolling the North Sea. She became the flagship of the Reserve Fleet after the end of the War, before being converted into an unarmed radio-controlled target ship in 1924 to comply with the Washington Naval Treaty.

By 1935, the situation had changed. Nazi Germany, under Adolf Hitler, revealed itself to be re-arming at a worrying rate. Despite the Anglo-German Naval Agreement, the British were still worried about a revived German Kriegsmarine. With the Kriegsmarine in mind, somebody came up with a brilliant plan. The Dominion of Bermuda was the newest Dominion in the Commonwealth, only created earlier that year. As such, the Washington Naval Treaty which still haunted the Royal Navy didn't apply to it. They sold the old Centurion to the Dominion of Bermuda and ordered them to convert it into a manned aircraft carrier. It took 4 years. However, the re-construction of the Centurion did employ many Bermudians, and, when Legate was finally completed, she stood as a symbol of pride for the small new Dominion. HMBS Legate would go on to participate in World War II's Atlantic Theater, primarily in the Mediterranean against the Italian Regina Marina. However, her aircraft provided close air support to Bermudian forces storming Sword Beach during Operation Overlord, and she provided close air support in several battles in harbor towns as the war progressed. For her actions she earned the nickname "Landlubber". After the war she remained the flagship of the Bermudian Navy even into the Revolution of 1950, where she was struck by a torpedo from a British submarine. Her commander ran her aground, saving the lives of her crew. In 1951 she was restored and converted into a museum ship for her historical value. She was undamaged in the 1955 Civil War. Technically, she remains commissioned in the Fascist Bermudan Navy to the modern day, even though she remains aground.

Novaya's Shinosaki and Shiroiyuki. The two of them made their debut here and since then have caused problems first for the Abyssals, then for the base as not knowing them (or knowing, why they are close to their previous ships) apparently translates to Novayan Fairies to making a ruckus without sense and neglecting their duties.

Cool. I look forward to them!

A quick note, the piece of air combat between Kraicia's D-11s and the Abyssals, which Kokai is now joining, is set before the conference, at the time of Novaya's other two ships arriving. We should have made that clear sooner.
