Retribution class Battleships about the size of a moon. With guns bigger than the reapers them selves.

Ship scale seems rather "inconsistent". I was happy in thinking that 7km long was a HUGE ship (as I remember the "Vengeful Spirit" being somewhere). Then I read "Know no Fear" and the ship size for capital ships has shot up to about 16km. Getting too big makes it seem a bit OTT IMO, even for 40k. 7km is still HUGE for a ship.

Well the Imperium "finds" many of their ships as old Space Junk and refurbish and rebuild it.

This makes designs somewhat non-standard as well is varying in size.
