Flying Battleship ? Uh, Made of Plaster and Lathe ? :
It might be noted that : the 13 inch guns of the USS Illinois ( the ship modeled AT the REAL 1893 Exposition ) could have fired to 'reach up to' Columbia's maximum possible altitude and proceeded to blast it to shreds. A real world Fact like this would precludes any 'regular' flights over the US by the Seceded Columbia, once it had been stolen from the US Government. 
Consider : that [] map's path criss-crossed numerous Railroads. That web, when combined with all the existing Railway Artillery, was a serious threat. So in reality ( contrary to much Columbian propaganda ), Columbia had to do alot of hiding/dodging from all those destructive US Government capabilities.

After Columbia Became a Technological Backwater the Rest of the World Was Doing This :

So Infinite BS had OTHER Stupid Shit Like This

So Columbia's a "Flying Battleship" ?? Really ? :
Well those things are expensive ( building them could bankrupt a country, let alone a pack of crazy cultists ).
A Battleship ( example- USS Texas ) cost $11 million in 1911 dollars - near $280 million today ( and even better convert that to the weird overpricing shit you saw in Infinite BS ).
Oh, but now it is not exactly a Battleship ?? Well, to FUNCTION like one, it is required to have MORE THAN A FEW of the many mechanisms to do all that. Remember this flying thing, is supposed to overwhelming attack America at some later time, and had allegedly attacked a bunch of Chinamen in the Boxer Rebellion. 
(( "But But But That's In The Future !!!" - But But But, someone still has to pay for it ... AND HAVE THE KNOWHOW FOR IT ))
The Luteces are killed by Comstock really early in the Timeline, so no help from them any longer. Columbia is mostly left with what it was built with in 1893. Meanwhile, the Rest of the World advances.
We are never told how Columbia guides/moves itself, or stabilizes itself ( and all its many floaty pieces ), or powers itself, or supplies itself. All the likely ways are just not seen, so it must all simply be Magic ( You know -- quantumz power pulled out of Elizabeth's ass by that Siphon thingee or somesuch - That aspect of it also is NOT explained ). The Game Candyland has more rational explanation built into it. The same lack goes Ditto for Science, Ditto History, Ditto Religion ...

"Infunate" ??? ( New word I just created to refer to the Bullshit stench of Infinite BS ). F U - F*ck *p ????

Battleships Had Become Obsolete :
These (V2 variants) existed after WW2, which means the USA had things beyond artillery/airplanes to deliver tons of explosives to easily blow Columbia out of the air. That is not even mentioning nuclear warheads delivered at 3500 mph, via missiles like this one - which could vaporize the flying pesthole.
