 Cruiser Introduction
His preliminary cruise in the Sumter showed him the possibilities and the limitations of this species of warfare; and he entered upon the cruise of the Alabama with a well-considered plan of operations.
Cruisers were allotted a duty which, in the Age of Sail, was fulfilled by pirates and privateers —to pursue merchant ships,fall on them by night and sink or seize them, with passengers, crews and cargoes, with the object of cutting the communications and paralysing the trade of the enemy.
There was not one of the US fast cruisers that could profit to any extent by the use of sail power even in strong winds, although their enginery enables them to attain a high rate of speed, with a correspondingly large coal consumption.

 Carrack-class light cruiser - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki
The Carrack-class light cruiser, also known as Carrack-class gunship, was a cruiser first used by the Republic Navy in the closing days of the Clone Wars.
Two weapon configurations were known for this class: one with ten heavy turbolasers, twenty laser cannons designed to defend against starfighters and missiles, and five tractor beam projectors, and an alternative version which replaced the flak lasers with ion cannons.
Luckily for the Oswaft, the Imperial plot was thwarted with the arrival of Lando Calrissian and Vuffi Raa.

Cruiser Squadron in the Mediterranean and served there from September 1925 until 1929, at which time she went in for a refit.
In 1936 a plan was prepared to convert the class into antiaircraft cruisers by removing the six-inch guns and replacing them with four twin 4.5-inch HA gun mounts, a HA control system, two Vickers quadruple.50 machine gun mounts and a quadruple pom-pom.
Along with the numerous earlier members of the C Class, these cruisers were of a moderate size but were short ranged, due to their intended area of operations, the North Sea.

The class saw action during the First and Second Battles of Chin'toka and the final showdown of the conflict, the Battle of Cardassia.
Despite their power, many ships of the class were destroyed by the Dominion, including the flagship, the D'ridthau.
The Warbird that appeared in "Contagion" was referred to as a "battle cruiser", which seems to be an inaccurate classification for a vessel of this size.

 Strike-class medium cruiser - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki
The Strike-class medium cruiser was a medium cruiser designed by the Loronar Corporation during the Galactic Civil War for the Imperial Navy as a general-purpose vessel capable of modular modifications to allow it to fit many missions profiles, yet cheap enough to be produced in large quantities.
A departure from the Navy's trend towards increasingly large warships, the Strike-class cruiser was an admission to diminished ability to defend space superiority against the Rebel Alliance and other forces as the conflict wore on.
At least one Strike-class cruiser, Peregrine, was modified by the Rebel Alliance with two large, bulbous housings for gravity well projectors, which were removed from a captured Imperial Interdictor cruiser.

 Immobiliser-class Interdictor Cruiser
Built upon the Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser, it is a special-purpose vessel, the first warship class of the Imperial Starfleet to incorporate gravity well generators as standard equipment.
Interdictor cruisers were initially developed as a counter to the Rebel Alliance’s hyperdrive-equipped starfighters in particular, and hyperdrive equipped vessels in general.
Interdictor cruiser development appears to have stagnated after this point, the next innovation not coming until during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.

 Indian Chief Springfield - Road Test & Review — Motorcycle Cruiser   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
While we realize most cruisers' weight biases are rearward, we'd personally feel better with more bite up front; for $21,495, we don't think that's at all unreasonable.
Cruiser convention that dictates the exhaust system be opposite the sidestand, on the curb side.
That means the right side of the bike is inevitably the source of any exhaust noise, and Indian designers did not want to take the chance of having two noise sources on the same side when dealing with the EPA sound police.

 SOUTHAMPTON & EDINBURGH class cruiser
The GLOUCESTER class was a slightly heavier sibling to the SOUTHAMPTON class.
The last of the SOUTHAMPTON class, SHEFFIELD, was scrapped in 1967; BELFAST was preserved in 1971 as a museum in London on the Thames.
Although various members of the SOUTHAMPTON class had their X mount removed, BELFAST retained all her main battery, and the aft mounts were actually situated one deck higher than in the SOUTHAMPTON class.

 HAFS Natasha Kurganov class Missile Cruiser
The Kurganov class cruisers served in virtually every military action the C.A.F. ever was involved in.
The Reprisal simply used its long range missile batteries to eliminate the 72 fighters they carry while using the ships cruise missile launchers to overwhelm one of the Smashers cruisers and then once it was destroyed, destroying the other ship in the same way using its next volley of cruise missiles.
For missile weaponry, the ship has four cruise missile batteries (Same as on a Yamato class battleship) and four long range missile batteries but each battery has less launchers than those on a Warshield and each launcher is physically slightly bulkier.

 Galor class - Memory Alpha - A Wikia wiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Galor-class cruisers were the primary type of warship in the Cardassian military during the latter half of the 24th century.
In 2369, Captain Edward Jellico ordered a fleet of Galor class starships to leave the McAllister C-5 Nebula one-by-one, ejecting their primary phaser coils.
It is one third likely that the generic references made in later seasons to Cardassian battle cruisers and Cardassian destroyers were made in reference to the Galor class starship.

In addition, the cruisers were one of the few Imperial starship designs possessing features designed to safeguard the lives of the ship's crew.
Carrack-class cruisers are not featured in any of the six Star Wars films, but the novelization for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith states that these craft were in use during the Battle of Coruscant.
Carrack cruisers were some of the most versatile cruisers available, used in roles as varied as protecting Bakura from the Ssi-Ruuk incursion, to acting as personal transports for important personages like Imperial Moffs, to being outfitted with special cannons to destroy the interstellar plankton of the Oswaft of the interstellar ThonBoka nebula.

On the following day, 10 April 1940, the cruiser was tied up to a Bergen quay when several British "Skua" dive bombers delivered a deadly attack, making five hits and one close near miss that set her afire, holed her hull and killed many crewmen.
The German light cruiser Leipzig is in the center background, and a British "C" class light cruiser is in the upper right.
It depicts the light cruisers Köln and Königsberg landing troops at Bergen, Norway, on 9 April 1940.

 Tou Salaam Class Picket Cruiser
The Tou Salaam Class Picket Cruiser was one of the last ships developed by the Tirolian Mercantile Empire before its collapse.
Rather than securing space superiority, the Tou Salaam class was designed to picket systems in strategic locations and of unusual interest for the Tirolians.
The extremely well stocked holds of these ships made multi-year operations of this type possible, and often the troops and factory equipment was used in the meantime to create a permanent listening post in the system, freeing the cruiser to refit, restock and travel to another system to plant a monitoring station.

 Hyperion Class Cruiser
Even the newer Odysseus class was getting so old that Starfleet decided it was again time to bring out a new frontline exploration cruiser.
The main differences between the Hyperion and the Odysseus classes were that the Hyperion had a larger internal volume, even though it wasn't too much bigger, and it had a bit more advanced warp drive, allowing it to go faster and explore farther reaches of space.
Even once the Constitution class was built, the Hyperion remained a mainstay in the exploration of Federation space for quite some time.

The Antares class scout was created as one of many new ships to supplement the new Constitution class heavy cruiser.
Unlike some of the other scouts built around the time of the Constitution class cruiser, the Antares was fitted with an almost full sized hangar deck, allowing it to carry almost as many shuttles as the Constitution class.
In addition to its military uses as a scout, the Antares class was also built for other more civil support roles, such as transports, where the large shuttlebay came into its own.
