And you used < pre>! Thank you. It's much easier to read that way.
Well, if I ever need lots of artillery in one spot, I know where to go.
The ship seems rather like my super heavies, in that it's fun and good at what it does, but too expensive to be practical.
The trailer is also gets the job done, and with close in defenses to boot. It's expensive (for a trailer), but not so much so as to make it completely unbuyable. Although I'm still wondering what you could use to pull the trailer...

the trailer sort of remind me of the WWII German "Railgun" which is literally a cannon mounted on a train track and pulled by a huge train.
This would work for defence but no no for offense.
The blue water ship is too expensive to be practical but the trailer design is interesting... At least it isnt too costly.

Interesting idea, but it would need constant ammo supply (if it fires all guns at once it will last for 10 rounds with Super Destroyer ship) if there will be any enemies, when ammo runs dry. Concentrating so many artillery guns to one platform also means that if something breaks down, your unit looses large portion of its artillery. Crossing difficult terrain would be risky at best, because most bridges aren't constructed to support even single heavy battlemech and fording river with something like this seems quite dangerous.

Thats the whole point. Sure, they cant carry a lot of ammo on board, but ideally these come with a couple of ammo boats in tow.
And heres what would tow it....
