The '''Lange-class railgun battleship''' is a class of [[Drambenburg]]ian warships in service with the [[Kreigsmarine]], unique for being the only active warships in the world with a state-of-the-art {{wp|Railgun|railgun}} system. The Lange-class battleships are equipped with two state-of-art railgun turrets, with three railguns each, which fire kinetic projectiles precisely with ranges over 110 nautical miles. In addition to the railguns, the Lange-class has 12 88mm flak guns and several 40mm, 20mm, 12.5mm and .30 cal AA guns for air defense. Due the novelty, bulkiness, high energy demand, and complexity of the pulsed power supplies that are needed for electromagnetic launcher systems, as well as the extremely high cost to produce such weapons, the eight Lange-class ships in service are the only planned for the Drambenburgian military, after [[Chancellor of Drambernburg|Chancellor]] [[Walde Herzog]] canceled further construction.
