Do you have any idea how much power is contained in a 425mm antimatter slug fired out of railgun? |

I'm not one of those "Mericuh! F**k yeah!" kind of Americans.... but recognize that this nation of mutts I call home, built the single most destructive conventional weapon in the history of mankind.... :)

Bismarck got sunk by a British battlecruiser.
The Bizzy's pilot prolly just didn't train up his support skills before he got in it, though :p
As for the Yamato... the two could have gone toe-to-toe, during WWII, but when the Mo got her refit in the 80's, it was (and still is) the single most powerful ship in history.
An astute would rip her in half in a single shot. |

The Bismarck wasn't sunk by a battlecruiser. It was maimed by a very lucky torpedo bomber, and then finished off by a battlecruiser while it could barely even turn.
It was finished off by two battleships, two heavy cruisers and a few destroyers, one of which was Polish. |

Considering these old BS have actual crews and ours have just one, who does the looking out of the many thousands of empty windows...
We do have crew |

250 mile range, hypersonic projectiles that travel so fast they turn the air around them into a plasma. Due to be fitted onto the next gen destroyers.
Antimatter. 250 grams of antimatter is as powerful as a 10 MT hydrogen bomb. A 425mm slug is along the lines of a railway sleeper.
My megathron could literally glass Americas 7 largest cities once every 4-5 seconds. Hell, I might be able to glass entire counties in a single volly... |

Who said I'm from the US? Besides that is this like a new revelation you are trying to share with the world because you might be surprised to know that every army is in fact funded by tax's. In fact it is common knowledge. 
Thats debatable for the uk at times |

Honestly, if you want an example of a top-of-the-line real-world battleship, you name the Yamato, Musashi or Bismarck.
Orly? How come all of those are on the bottom of the ocean then?  Because they are so awesome they are also Submarines.
One of them also decided to fly. |

You missed a Large part of the point.
nice hack job too.
point was a ship the size of a Coercer carried far more armaments than our super sized Eve warships.
the simple fact that even one eve gun (and its more than one lol ) are similar in size to WW2 components tells me our ships are WAY under gunned.
The fact that Auto cannons and arty are huge doesn't really change anything. facts are these ships are weaker than they should be.
800mm existed. it was german arty on a train =p do we even need to figure out how small a train car is ....I think not
That train car was the size of a frigate...
Our battleships are far from under gunned. |
