“Rasch?”
“Yes?”
“Why are there mountain-sized floating cannons!?”
“Well, how else are we supposed to deter you people?”
“Mountain-sized, floating cannons!”
“Well, how else are we supposed to move them?”
“Bu– But why do they…the chunk of earth, why?”
“Well, how else are they supposed to float?
“Wh-what?”
“Ah, don’t bother your little head with that”

Mokri nation in the southlands have always been keen on thunderstorms. Those pesky water rats love megastructures like launching heavy cruisers from superconducting railgun drydocks, but they don't bother with fusion reactors and cumbersome supercapacitors. Instead, they build an array of Orgone energy accumulators around drydock launchers, then position their cruiser ships and wait for a thunderstorm to form. Lightning strikes hit the superconducting coils on the drydock, and the ship is launched forward with thousands of Gs acceleration.
Of course, the ship is launched without crew. Otherwise, the water rats would be turned to pepperoni pizza. The solution is simple. After launch, the crew takes off in regular planes, and catches the ballistic cruiser by accelerating at pleasant 2G. Docking procedure can be tricky, with 5% failure rate. Then again, if the docking fails, or crew's plane gets hit, the cruiser can act as a "dumb" bomb.
Oh yes, it's all a matter of how big stuff you wanna launch. Southland rats launch a 300-ton ship, while dragons launch a 5-ton artillery shell from a floating cannon to intercept it. :3

Indefinitely... Well, at least until they ran out of fuel, or someone shoots them down.
Think of waiting for a storm like... refueling. You set up the equipment, and just wait. It's like Tesla's superchargers: 45 minutes is enough to take a shower, change clothes, have a coffee, and voila, it iz full of ze enegy. :D
