     Tech: B
Equipment:

Field Kitchen = 144t (2 kitchens, 46 resupplies; 6 month supply)
Helipad = 500t (x1)
Lifeboat = 18t (x18)
MASH = 3.5t (x1)
Search Light, Mounted = 3t (x6)
Cargo, Standard = 235,716t

Notes:
The legal rules limit even the largest Naval unit to 100,000, so I modified, adapted, and expanded the rules to allow for this ship. It is a monster!

The field kitchen are only crewed up to two kitchens but their are supplies to allow for 6 months of operation. Another rule modification.

The Helipad is on the aft most space and has no bay or lift. Any VTOL landing is exposed and considered external cargo as per the rules for units on the flight deck.

If this bad boy runs aground it will suffer 6,500pts of damage utterly destroying it. This boy will easily break up on the rocks so to speak.

The fuel range is calculated on the distance from San Fransisco to Tokyo. I figured most ocean bodies will be well judge by that distance.

That is one serious cargo ship. One question though. How many body guard destroyers would you deploy with this monster? With only 100 armor per side this is vulnerable to serious air attacks.

As it isn't a military ship it has as much armor and weapons as a modern supertanker! Wink
