It might be a disadvantage: Replying to: Not sure what real benefits a semi-submersible would have over a non-submersible -- Canis Majoris Post ReplyForum -Corsair- 06/04/2017, 15:15:36 Author Profile | Edit The ballast system would increase cost and complexity for such a large vessel, unless it were only intended for the ship to "squat down" for a (temporarily) lower profile instead of being a true semi-submersible in the manner of a drug smuggling sub. I can't imagine a big expensive warship without even minimal self-defence capability, and giving it that would make it more of a battlecruiser (which might not be that bad for PLAN).
