Not a double hull. It's just got layered armor. The difference being that a hull helps support the super structure. Armor is more or less attached to the hull.

Are you still pro-BB? Well just to give my opinion, the Iowa's won't work. Too old, gutting them and rebuilding them would cost a lot of money. The best way is to design a totally modern high tech battleship from scratch. Listen, I understand the engineering aspect behind building the gun systems I talked about and what not. I would like to help. I can design a ship with the basics. Don't know what else I can do here.

Really it comes down to the simple question, will the Navy favor a bigger ship? I'm looking at this in a serious light. A serious proposal. Anyone who wants to post feel free.
