Biggest possible battleship that can be built?

+0
−0

Disregarding how battleships are really big targets and not really viable in the modern era anymore, I would like to ask how big a battleship can be built before it starts being so large it sinks.

It doesn't have to be practical and I don't mind if sinks from a single torpedo or shelling neither does it matter if it takes a millennia worth of oil just to start moving. I would just like to know what kind of ludicrous size we can build a Battleship to set sail and fire bombardment with.

This question was inspire by the real-life battleship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamato-class_battleship which was kinda useless, so I'm now asking how big of a useless ship can we make to rain death with. (sorry if there's actually an answer for this or there's no actual limit to how big ships can be made)
