BE Strinsick Class Battleship

Description

The Strinsick class battleship was designed not only as a deterant on the high seas, but for coastal bombardment. Her main guns can rain explosive steel up to 20.7 miles away from the ship.
Her secondary guns are meant for defense, to take out torpedo boats and destroyers.
And of course the AA emplacements ring the ship to protect it from bombing.

Knowing a battleship's deck is the most vulnerable, both from plunging fire and from bombings, the Strinsick was designed with 4 foot thick deck armor, as well as 2 foot thick armor bands around the hull.

She's not the fastest ship on the waters at a max speed of 20 knots, but her guns can reach out far enough where it's not too important.

Armament:
6 Main turrets with triple 14in barrels each. (That's 18 14in guns)
8 Secondary turrets with quad 8in barrels each. (32 8in guns)
40 AA turrets with quad 35mm barrels each. (160 35mm guns)

Created in PMG 0.7 for The Great War on Flickr.
Yes I realize the AA turrets on the bow realistically wouldn't be place as such.
