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 Automagfreek in the Kraven War.
The warship, when completed, will be significantly larger than a Doujin or Freekish Sentinel. However, due to the size, only one is planned, though others may in the distant future be produced for sale to allies. However, it is more for intimidation and sheer size and power than combat usefulness, as Kahanistan naval doctrine does not emphasize overly large warships.
