Super-Dreadnoughts are huge maritime surface warships, usually serving as fleet flagships or major surface combatants for Modern/Post Modern Tech navies.
Contents
Design
The basic design of most super-dreadnoughts is that of an enlarged battleship or battlecarrier, with a high number of large mono-calibre main guns, heavy armour, powerful self-defence systems and command/control capabilities.

Real Life Comparison
There is no real RL parallel to these vessels, as they require large amounts of manpower and monetary investment to build and operate, often beyond the capabilities of any RL Nation. In turn, many of the factors which dictated Battleship combat in Real Life has a reduced or negated effect in NS, with such considerations as the Golden Fish syndrome playing much less of a role in NationStates naval combat. This changing of emphasis has a number of causes, including the
