So basically, I've decided that once I complete and upload Sovereign of the Seas (my latest project), I will build a Kirov-esque heavy guided missile cruiser / guided missile battlecruiser to act as a significantly more practical and economical option to the ludicrously expensive and horrendously impractical battleship. CVN-XZ and an LHD will be completed afterwards. I'll probably start planning it out very soon, though I intend to start building it only after I've finished Sovereign.

The battlecruiser will be given the designation Project 69000 (B)CGN. It'll definitely have two pairs of 155mm L70 guns in two low-Radar Cross-Section turrets inspired by the AK130 turrets of the Kirov. Main armament will consist of a large number of anti-ship missiles in VLS launchers. For air defense, a large number of dedicated VLS will load Surface-to-Air Missiles, ranging from missiles similar to the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile to Aster 30-type missiles to SM-6 type missiles. A large number of CIWS and LaWS would complement these.

I intend to finish Sovereign of the Seas in the coming weeks, though I could be busy with IRL stuff.
