>What's up with that funky Viking flag on the other side?

It is Odin's raven banner, and Odin had one eye. I guess they tried to say that their lasers are good in blinding the opponents.

But actually, Minnesota (submarine also called USS Minnesota) has pretty large share of people with Scandinavian descent, and even some hand-soccer team called "Vikings". So maybe it is some kind of local influences.

>I guess one with cutting capabilities has too high electricity requirement

There are plenty of problems for "damaging" lasers that couldn't be solved, maybe never. For example, atmosphere is pretty bad thing for long laser beams, they dissipate quickly, so energy requirement for laser is very high. It is much easier to use kinetic projectile, and even if you have such amount of energy, it is better to use it to speed up projectile (i.e. railgun is just better). That is why such type of lasers have specific fields of use, like high-atmosphere interception (where beam speed is the main goal, and air is thin) or very close range cutting.
