Norad Class Super Battleship (SBBN-1)
The Norad class Super Battleship is almost a LHD/carrier with all of its capabilities but it still preforms the role of Battleship better than all else. With its coilguns and cruise missiles it can pose a threat to any nation with a coastline. With its V/STOL aircraft support it can provide air cover for your fleets without committing an actual aircraft carrier. The Norad class can hold a full marine force with vehicles and landing craft. It can dock 1 submarine in lieu of the amphibious force and preform sub-tending duties.
There are several landing pads, 2 elevators and a pair of ski jump runways. It can accommodate up to 4,000 men max.
Propulsion:
(4) TOPAZ AC-PDX-4 Nuclear Reactors
(6) Diesel Electric Generators
(2) Hydrogen Fuel Cells and Batteries powering bow thrusters
Armament
(2) 8 inch rapid fire cannons mounted in 2 Single turrets
(15) 20 inch coilguns; mounted in 5 Triple turrets(option of 16 or 18inch cannons, conventional or ETC dependent on tech level)

(2) 25mm or 30mm manually targeted chaingun cannons
(7) 20mm vulcan CIWS Phalanx guns
(7) FIM-92X Stinger quad launchers (28 total) mounted on the 7 20mm CIWS
(36) cell MK 87 Vertical Launching Systems (14 Cells each) (SM-2/SA-101 SAMs, Harpoons, Exocets, or Tomahawks)
(2) ABM Launchers (Anti-Ballistic missile)
(4) THEL (Tactical High Energy Laser) Anti cruise missile systems.
(8) 40mm Bofors Anti-Aircraft gun with fragmenting shells mounted in 4 Dual Turrets. (also anti-missile) (can have 56mm single turrets instead)
