Devastation

A ship that embodies all the ideas of the British shipbuilding school of the 1940s concerning battleships unconstrained by the limits of the Washington Naval Treaty. The general structure layout is close to battleship Vanguard, and the power plant is similar to the one used on the Audacious-class aircraft carriers.
