Honestly this is the biggest question I have about the entire Eva franchise.

They had one in Terminal Dogma alongside Lilith too.

Well what the fuck is it, faggots? It's not a battleship and it's not a destroyer.
>>134145461
Oh it's far too late for that, son.
>>134145554
That's a Udaloy class frigate.
They used a bigass series of locks, maybe. Or they built it down there.
>>134145554
Because Battleships, Destroyers, and Battlecruisers are the only 3 types of naval ship?
Not to mention that Battlecruisers and Battleships have been obsolete since WW2.
>>134145661
The Udaloy is a destroyer.
>>134145661
>>134145705
Well fuck me! Sorry I didn't know every godamn class of jap ship in existence! It looked vaguely cruiser like so that's what I called it.
>>134145661
The JDSF isn't allowed have anything bigger than a Destroyer. Hence the "Helicopter Destroyers".
>>134145554
It's an Udaloy class anti-submarine destroyer you damn faggot.

Russians don't use the word 'destroyer' it's simply called an anti-submarine boat.
However, NATO classifies it as a destroyer.
Every Japanese battleship is the Yamato.
>>134144945
There's maybe one class of ships left in the world that COULD be described as a Battlecruiser. But that ain't one of them.

Really says a lot about Russian naval doctrine to be honest.
>>134145888
Aye. They fit the loose criteria of Battlecruiser.

My question remains, how did they get the DESTROYER underground, and why the fuck did they need it?

y'all mad shipwaifufags?
>>134145955
In case there were any underground submarines. They got it in via that enormous cargo lift.
>>134145955
Who knows.
It was cool though.
Anyways, whas it a Nimitz class carrier that they fought on in that one episode?

Now can we return to talking about boats?
>>134145955
They brought in down in stages, like how they brought everything down, and assembled it on the lake.
They needed it to provide heavy fire support, in the event something broke down this far. Its not the only asset down their for that purpose either, its just that most of them are on the surface

>>134146057
Which begs the question of why they bothered to put it on a ship in an underground lake instead of mounting such armament ashore.
Whatever. I'm just here for the botes.
>>134146000
Exceedingly.
>>134146116
>Whatever. I'm just here for the botes.
I still can't believe we're getting a second series and a movie.
>>134146116
I imagine that the lake must be pretty big, and that shore based artillery would only have so much accurate range. Bringing a ship down would give it some measure of mobility.
That and the boat probably doubled as a cargo ship or some other transport vessel, so not just heavy fire support.
>>134146036
Yeah. That was basically a hefty chunk of the US fleet signed over to the UN.
>>134145955
Because this is NERV and they want a second radar system that's not connected to the main grid? Or perhaps they wanted access to the whole lake? If they can build EVAs they can pretty much do whatever they want. Reminder that EVA repair costs bankrupt small countries.
>>134146238
>Reminder that EVA repair costs bankrupt small countries.
Which makes one wonder why they would spend money on bringing an entire warship down into the superbunkerspheremoonegg

>>134144945
Did anyone else just realize that everyone in Eva is named after warships? Does Anno have a boat fetish or something?

>>134147350
How... how do they do that?
Why did Module 77 in Valvrave have ships on the waters when there was no possible way of a naval attack? For surface combat?
>>134144945
Because Anno wanted a big thing for Asuka to throw. If you're sprurging that much over it pretend they brought it down piece by piece on the same lifts they use for the Evas.

no, a shipwaifu-mangay only is attracted to things with 16 inch or larger guns (the Yamato had 18.1 inch); shipwaifu-fags can have the rest

The masts fold down. You raise them once the model is in the bottle.
