Have you seen the version done by
Mongoose? It’s in their version of the *Fighting
Ships*
supplement.
Bother. And other really rude words. I'd
completely forgotten about that. Shame on me for not
mentioning it.
Printed out at 15 mm scale, it would
be H-U-G-E!!
But at the scale in the book, I have to say it wrecks
my eyes trying to work out what's what!
But yes, 52 decks presented across 32 pages (plus
two pages of stats and a small illo).
I like the line "a single Tigress class
dreadnought is capable of defeating an entire enemy
fleet". I presume that's assuming the enemy fleet
doesn't also have a Tigress or equivalent!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And yet, at least according to CT's 'Fighting Ships', the class is no longer in production.
I don't recall any info wrt production totals but other 'large' classes such as the 'Azhanti...' class did have only limited numbers produced...
