Description Remake version of this one: www.deviantart.com/vnpilot12l4…

In 1906, Empire of Albion made the world trembled. In one afternoon, all existing battleships became obsolete because of one single vessel: The HMS Juggernaut, "destruction". Built to the latest technologies of that time Albion can offer, incorporated lessons learnt from both Great Gaian War and War of Kuroshio Strait, as well as new technologies developed in the last years. As such, the ship was armed with an all-big-gun main armament, a hull built to withstand point blank (and even internal) nuclear blasts, a nuclear jet engine and a new system of anti-gravity that didn't take up to 80% of the vessel's internnal volume, leaving a lot more room for more armor, compartments, guns, analog computers and other devices. It also has radars, a new invention created in the Great Gaian War first as an attempt to kill enemies via radio waves, then as a device to navigate and pick up signals. By connecting radars to the gun fire control computers, Albionians created the world's first "modern" fire control system ever, which was far better than either rice-powered or bread-powered systems before (aka aeronauts with rangefinders and doing maths by hands).

Name: HMS Juggernaut.

Class: Juggernaut-class battleship.

Size:
- Length: 470 m.
- Width: 60 m (main hull), 80 m (between bulges).

Armaments:
- Main guns: 10 x 2 BL 510 mm/40 Mk IV.
- Secondary guns: 20 x 2 BL 127 mm/50 Mk XXI.

4 layers of shields, each can tank direct hits from several salvos of 50 kt shaped charge nuclear shells. And this is standard. The Juggernaut set a new bar for later battleships, leadinng to an era named after itself and only a very few classes can be considered "super-Juggernauts", as in, completely overshadow the Juggernaut in stats, techs and actual performance.
