Anyone who does not read a sticky should be purged from the board! They're important. NI!

Damn. I was gone from the board for a few weeks, just now returned. I take it no one noticed my absence. :( Anyway, are people who were purged allowed to rejoin?

The HAB, in 100 words or less.

People who like real-life military hardware.
People who like talking about real-life military hardware.
As a result of their knowledge of real-life military hardware, they think mechs are stupid.

And they have cool sig banners.

Estimated overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Relative margin of stability: 1.14
Shellfire needed to sink: 46,239,020 lbs / 20,973,670 Kg = 5.9 x 250.0 " / 6,350 mm shells
(Approx weight of penetrating shell hits needed to sink ship excluding critical hits)
Torpedoes needed to sink: 48,172.6
(Approx number of typical torpedo hits needed to sink ship)
Relative steadiness as gun platform: 100 %
(Average = 50 %)
How many of these will it take then?
