Question

What is the strangest ship design you have seen or devised?

Short answer

One role-play proposal lengthens an Admiral-class hull, adds a flight deck and flying bridge, and changes its gun arrangement to triples.

Notes

The Black Quartz project is an invented conversion from a role-playing setting. It lengthens an Admiral-class hull and puts a flight deck over the superstructure, with a flying bridge above it. The gun arrangement also changes to triple mountings. The concept draws dismayed reactions from the other participants, without a technical assessment of its stability or aviation capacity.
