The Chuck Norris-class Super Dreadnaught is the proposed design for what will be Kahanistan's largest warship. It is slated to enter production in late December 2005 or early to mid January 2006.
Named for Chuck Norris, a semi-legendary figure whose exploits are widely discussed on the General forum, the first ship of the Chuck Norris-class, the RKS Chuck Norris, is intended to restore the military capacity of the Kahanistan Republic Navy after its disastrous defeat by AMF in the Kraven War.
The warship, when completed, will be significantly larger than a Doujin-class or Sentinel-class super dreadnaught. However, due to the size, only one is planned, though others may in the distant future be produced for sale or as aid to allies. However, it is more for intimidation and sheer size and power than combat usefulness, as Kahanistan naval doctrine does not generally emphasize overly large warships.
Originally intended to be fifteen kilometers long, a quarter of a billion tons, and capable of decimating Gholgoth fleets single-handedly, the design for what would have been the largest warship ever constructed by a modern nation was drastically scaled down to a still freakishly huge 1.5 km design due to budget constraints (the original would have taken Kahanistan years to build, even spending the entire defense budget for the next ten years on the warship to be affectionately nicknamed "Chucky.")
