That's a lot of damage. The gun calibre on mine does vary a little depending on what's good. The CA's for instance, keep switching around from 9-10-8-9 depending on the best mark of gun I have available - I get the impression that a Mk.III 9" is generally more useful than a Mk.II 10", especially as at these ranges there's no incentive not to make the barrels as long as the tech supports, switch to heavy shells and get the heaviest, fastest shell you can... (Seeing as I don't have an economy financed by other people wanting me to build ships for them, I'm going for a lot more refits this time around, but the tech's advancing so fast I'm finding that after, for instance, the CA10k programme, those self-same CA10ks were back in the yard for refits to get them up to date with the tech invented while they were building...)
Must be honest, though, my classes are just called "CA 11k" or "BB 22k5" by this point - I lose track otherwise...
For the sake of logistics I'm done maintaining what amounts to an old cruiser museum, too, two classes, current and one older than current, across the board, current largely East Coast because everybody who wants to take a shot at me seems to want to do so outside New York (seriously, NY harbour must be a menace to navigation by this point) and the somewhat more expendable expeditionary forces operating out of San Francisco for a half-hearted expansion into the Pacific, mostly at the expense of Spain and China
