Warship concept, Noriyoshi Ohrai

This artist is one of my favorite SciFi artists, and I don't think the absurdity of this vessel could have been lost on him. I read this as satirical cultural commentary.

Do we have enough guns?!? We need a lot of guns! Maybe you could make it a little bigger so that there will be more room for guns? Are those guns big enough?! We need a lot of BIG GUNS. I want guns on the guns!!

etc.

an outer space scene with a massive ship taking center stage, the ship is covered with gun batteries on all sides, top, bottom, front and back, at least fifty individual long cannon barrels are visible.  There is a superstructure covered with somewhat absurdly long and complicated antenna and some open bays with smaller ships coming out of them

Today is a SPECIAL BIG DAY!

What a week - TFG wants to transform Gaza to the Riviera of the Middle East - which is very impressive - because he at the same time wants to transform USA to the Middle East!
