SBY 2199 UNCF Kirishima BBS-555 Kongo Class Battleship

Description
The Big Father Battleship of the Cosmo Navy in the Early Years of the Gamilon War of Space Combat, The Kongo Battleship.

Built in the Gamilon War, these Big Ship were the Tanks of the Battle, able to take on some Damage before Getting Destroyed, as the Earths Toughest ship they could make, the Kongo Battleship were the Main Command Ships of there fleet and can fire Dozens of Torpedoes on an Enemy, and like its Murasame Son, can Fire a Spinal Shock Cannon from its Nose, the Downside to these Battleships is, like earths Sea Battleship are Slow as hell, allowing for the more Nimble and Faster destroyer ships of the Gamilons to get around them and Avoid there shots, and with there thicker Armour to resist, at best a few shots from the Gamilon Weapons, making them slower to speed up.

(this ship does hold a small place in my heart, as I myself built this ship from being Inspired by LupineDawn's Murasame ship he made a while back, while its not as Clean as he would have done it with his two other Ships he did, i was super glad when he said he would use my Shell i did and turn it into a proper Battleship with a full Interior and such, i was happy, also made me learnt of the Contribution thing on Steam here, so thanks LupineDraw for both the Inspiration to build the Kongo Class and offer to be the Contribution to finishing the Full Fleet of the Cosmo Early Navy Fleet... oh also Changed Turrets and Painted ship in 2199 colour's)

The other tip is that in the series, the bridge was mounted on one of the gun turrets (this construction is total nonsense in my opinion) but as a replica, you could turn it around and mount the gun turret on top of the bridge, which would have to be redesigned for this, but it could work. You could also swap some of the hydro-thrusters for Ribera's anti-gravity thrusters...

What I never understood about the entire design of this ship in the series is why the fins were built directly in front of the first gun at the top and bottom, so that the guns are partially blocked at the front...

I already mentioned in Ribera's Discord that I found a few of the old UNCF ships in the workshop...

Well, I like the ships.
In that respect, I respect the replica.

I just have one question, about the stern with the thruster, wasn't it possible to design the stern a little better?
In the series, they have good lines and taper towards the thruster, so a typical cigar shape. In this replica, it is very much in the stepped principle, although the rest of the ship was implemented well. It worked well with the Murasame class as a comparison.
