I am only vaguely sure what caused this insanity. It's a mix of World of Warships Blitz, finding a model of the Arizona in our storage unit, and having not designed anything in Battletech for a while.
No fluff yet, but there is a method to my madness.
Q: Why the Light SCCs? They're more than 3 times as big as a 14"/45 gun.
A: Yeah, I know, but it was either that, or improved heavy gauss rifles. They're bigger, yes, but these also meet the purpose of your main standoff weapon.
Q: But why 24?
A: Because you've got both a top and bottom in space. This way, you can argue that the original top guns are "left", and the new ventral side guns are "right" or something.
Q: That's a lot of SCL/1s.
A: Yes, yes it is.
Q: So, no 5"/51s?
A: Nope. Replaced with SCL/1s in the secondary gun role, serving as both anti-ship and anti-fighter.
Q: Barracudas?
A: Well, they're not 21" torpedo tubes, but...
Q: That's a notable increase in mass.
A: Yeah, KF drives aren't lightweight. Consider we're actually *lighter* than the original Pennsylvania class BBs were once you remove the KF drive.
Q: Only 1/2 thrust?
A: Only 10 knots cruise, and 21 knots max?
Q: So, did they salvage this from Pearl Harbor?
A: YMMV. It's one of the reasons I haven't written up fluff for this.
Q: So, COVID-19 social distancing getting to you, eh?
A: Yes, yes it is.
Q: Did you just edit this and post the PDF?
A: Yes, yes I did.
