Oh shit son

 

[MurderDeathKill]

Now all we have to do is get giant bipedal robots invented and we'll have Metal Gears!

 

[marius]

there actually was talk of bringing back the battleship expressly to have something big enough to carry the power plant and a railgun........... or 8

 

[Slyen]

Yes let us redraw the Montana...

Besides... I'm a fan of Battleships. Sorry but I'm not a huge fan of the Jeune École and never have been. It's proven in the past to be a failure of a doctrine.

 

[Seiji]

Fuck your battleships.

DREADNOUGHTS.

 

[Darkness]

YOU GUYS DO REALIZE WE'RE GONNA BE LIVING IN THE MGS UNIVERSE SOON ENOUGH, DON'T YOU?

THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT GOOD IF YOU'RE A CIVILIAN.

 

[Vay]

DREADNOUGHTS.

You do realize that was a type of battleship pioneered by the H.M.S. Dreadnought? And I quote her captain....

"Remarkable vessel, everything she can't outgun she can outrun."

[Vay]

Safer and more compact than steam!

 

[Karsikan the Berzerker]

What you really need marius is a way to improve the landing on an aircraft carrier, not the takeoff.

 

[marius]

[Asmodeus]

and as for making landing easier, there have been some articles i read a while back on NKO about them making a super carrier bigger than the new ones.
