The USS George W. Bush was the weaponized spaceship of the United States of America. It was named after the 43rd President of the United States. The design seems to incorporate artificial gravity on her bridge.


The USS George W. Bush is armed with two Gauss cannons as its main armament, which was used to destroy several Walkyrs and damage some Siegfried-Class Warships. These Gauss cannons use ferromagnets to create an electromagnetic charge capable of accelerating high mass projectiles at very high velocities - reaching several hundred kilometers a second. While they can penetrate most targets with ease, they lack raw destructive power and are best known for their precision and range.

Its secondary weapon are several sets of missile batteries, which were fired from its sides and used to destroy several Siegfrieds. Each side of the vessel mounted eleven batteries, each of which houses up to eight launch tubes. These batteries could fire a variety of warheads, such as nuclear and conventional missiles.

The USS George W. Bush is armed with 22 CIWS turrets for defensive purposes, with each of the two wing having 8 turrets attached to it. An additional two smaller wings mounts on the ventral hull near the aft of the ship mounts 3 turrets each. It was seen firing at Walkyrs and destroying missiles that were fired towards the USS George W. Bush by the Walkyrs and Siegfrieds.

The ship is propelled by a large nuclear pulse engine, which uses miniature and shaped nuclear explosions as a form of propulsion. This method of acceleration in space originated in the Cold War, codenamed as Project Orion.

It carries a huge amount of nuclear warheads that were used to destroy the Nazi headquarters, and later used to damage the Götterdämmerung after it was activated, although these caused little damage to the Götterdämmerung. After the Nazi battleship used it's main cannon to destroy a chunk of the Moon, the USS George W. Bush was hit by the rocks ejected by the explosion. Apart from losing its left cannon however, the ship sustained little damage from the debris.

In the battle after the Helium-3 stockpiles on the Moon were discovered, the USS George W. Bush was seen attacked by missles from the Dundee Bombers and eventually destroyed.
