If he hadn’t named it after himself nobody on this board outside a couple of Navy geeks like me would care.

Perhaps. But I think many (like albaby admitted) were envisioning an Iowa class vessel, which is obsolete before you even lay the keel. Because the Felon called it a "battleship". That's what normal people see in their minds. That's what I envisioned. If he had said "battle cruiser", which is more accurate, at least people wouldn't have been jumping to the conclusion that it's obsolete technology. Though mostly geeks like us would have dug into what it actually was.

It clearly is existing in the design stage since one doesn't put out specs (like on wikipedia) in a few days. It takes months to work stuff like that out.
