	Cruiser
		For many years cruisers filled a sweet spot between very light craft such as the torpedo boat, and the ships intended to take part in fleet combat, later generally referred to as battleships.
		Cruisers were large enough to fend off attacks from smaller ships and "ad hoc" military craft, but light enough to do so at very long ranges from their home bases.
		In the years since the launch of the Ticonderoga the class has received a number of upgrades that have dramatically improved their capabilities for anti-submarine and land attack (using the Tomahawk missile), and today the name is not mis-applied at all.

	Zara class cruiser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Zara class was an Italian heavy cruiser design from the early 1930s, considered by many to be one of the best cruiser designs of World War II.
		After the Pola was hit by an air-dropped torpedo and stopped, the rest of the 1st Division (at this time the Gorizia was in reserve) ran in to protect her.
		Three RN battleships and a host of additional units were able to sneak up on them at night, the lack of radar on the Zaras making them unaware of their approach, and quickly sank all three and two escorting destroyers in a one-sided gunfight.

	Zara class cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Zara class was an Italian heavy cruiser design of the Regia Marina from the early 1930s, considered by many to be one of the best cruiser designs of World War II.
		Four ships of the class were completed, Zara, Fiume, Pola and Gorizia, all of which saw extensive service during the war.
		The French immediately responded with a new heavy cruiser of her own - Algerie - but were not able to match Zaras design when launched in 1934.

	French Paris class Cruiser
		Cruisers tend to operate from ambushes, and are often described as pirates.
		Indeed, the principles on which pirates and war cruisers operate are virtually identical, and cruisers are the main counter piracy weapon.
		The replacements for the older Marechal class, the Pluton class would be less capable, closer to the Patrie class in terms of sheer power, although learning from the Paris, the cuts would be in areas such as numbers of weapons, and some speed, rather than in stealth.

		In the early months of 1943 the cruiser was primarily occupied with shore bombardments in the New Georgia area.
		Of the three cruisers and four destroyers in the American force, HELENA became the favorite target of aim for Japanese torpedoes because she lacked flashless powder.
