Today in Sea Power, we put a fictional hybrid warship to the ultimate test. This insane Steam Workshop ship combines the roles of an aircraft carrier, battleship, missile cruiser, nuclear strike platform, and anti-submarine frigate into one all-in-one warship.
We create a single mission designed to push this ultimate warship to its limits, taking on a wide range of naval warfare tasks:
Shore bombardment with naval guns
Fast jet reconnaissance
AWACS and airborne early warning
Anti-submarine warfare (ASW)
Can one ship really perform every major naval role? And if this sounds like such a great idea, why has a warship like this never existed in real life?
Using Sea Power's naval warfare simulation and a fictional Steam Workshop creation, we explore the strengths, weaknesses, compromises, and practical problems behind the concept of the ultimate all-in-one warship.
