Looks diseased.

This is pretty epic if I don't say so myself.

never throw your models in a microwave kids.

Anyone else notice the fuselage of an aircraft jutting from the bottom of the conning tower?
Kinda completes the look of you ask me, like a true warship from hell...

Well, it's a nanovirus "disease" that causes inanimate objects like cars, boats, and planes to come alive in ratbat's universe. This one definitely appears to have gotten a heavy infestation of them, though. It's like there's more nanites than it can support.

Actually, considering the nanites are supposed to repair them to form... I wonder if this guy was a wreck when the nanites got to him?

If i am right, this is something that is on the nobunagun anime or something, the battleship that the aliens infested.

Looks like a crocodile mixed with a shark and the badass look completes it

The ship's form is obsolete without a crew.

Looks epic.

The big turrets are essentially stuck in place now. Weapons on the starboard side have been completely overgrown.

It's not just the crew.

Given the plane sticking out of him. Perhaps the crew of the ship shot down an infected plane and it crashed into the ship and infected it?

Maybe the canon’s different in universe; I’m not incredibly caught up, but I guess it’s worth mentioning that:
BB-61, the USS Iowa, was one of the lucky WWII era ships to survive through to and past her decommissioning, and is now a museum in Texas.
The hull says BB-66, the unfinished USS Kentucky.

How do you tell its a girl ship? Lol

The way these things are written, they're not actually tuck in place. There's essentially a big set of muscles wrapped around the turret base that let it spin and internal muscles that feed and elevate the guns. The Bradley comic by this author has a good example of how this growth works.

That's not the problem. There's physical obstructions in the way of them turning.
