RE: [GZG] [FT]ModernNaval? [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

A few more examples of the idea:

Missouri-class Battleship
Size 120
Hull (5 x Size 10 sections - Armour 7)
Superstructure (Size 10 - Armour 6) Sensors & bridge etc
Forward Turret #1 (Size 10 - Armour 7) 3 x Size 7 HVC
Forward Turret #2 (Size 10 - Armour 7) 3 x Size 7 HVC
Aft Turret #3 (Size 10 - Armour 7) 3 x Size 7 HVC
2 x Missile Battery (Size 5 - Armour 5) 4 x Heavy missiles
2 x Zone Air Defence (Size 5  - Armour 5) 2 x ZAD
Helicoptor hanger (Size 10 - Armour 6) 2 x Size 3 helicoptors

Aircraft Carrier
Size 150
Hull (6 x Size 10 sections - Armour 6)
Superstructure (Size 10 - Armour 6)
4 x Zone Air Defence (Size 5 - Armour 5) 2 x ZAD
7 x Aircraft hangers (Size 10 - Armour 5) 2 x Size 3 fighters
NB: the hangers are for "ready" aircraft.  Further fighters are in "deep
storage" and take X amount of time to get ready for launch.

Commercial Supertanker
Size 100
Hull (4 x Size 10 sections - Armour 3)
Superstructure (Size 10 - Armour 2)
5 x Cargo (Size 10 cargo - Armour 1)
