The F22 in the image is about 7 diagonal pixels long, that is √2⋅7 pixels length. The ship in the picture is 1727 pixels long, which equates to an actual length of almost exactly 3300m.
As a bonus this allows us to calculate the barrel-diameter: At 14 pixels width, this indicates a 27m diameter or a barrel-strength of a bit over 12m. Not sure if that is enough to contain the nuclear explosion that is mean to be fired inside it…

The image is clearly a red herring to distract from the real use of the uranium. They use nuclear pumped lasers to accelerate a conventionally fired tungsten rod in the air. That's why there are four barrels, two guns and two lasers

2000mm caliber means each of those barrels are at least 2.2m (≈7ft3in) outer diameter. probably more. just for reference.
-
They have to have a lot more barrel strength though: If you look closely, the propellant charge is literally a nuke.
-
only a tiny one

How much is a "tiny little bit" of uranium? Asking for one of the Phosphene Girls. Is it enough to rest comfortably on a ruffled potato chip?
-
Needs more AAA flac guns.
-
Who is this going to rescue/liberate us from?
-
Unemployed shipyard workers
-
goat herders with AKs.
-
It can be a liberatory force in any possible conflicts, except a border skirmish between China and Kazakhstan.
-
Have you not seeing the helicopter blades in the schematics? This is obviously a hovering frigate

A navy f22? I’m all in! Just don’t let the kid hear about this, and don’t let him talk to Franklin. If the kid hears that a whole ass dump truck full of trash is boutta pull up he might get suspicious.

The runway is almost long enough to land a space shuttle, you don't need a naval version of any plane to use it.
-
But I want a naval F22 😤😭
