	Battlecruiser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Battlecruisers were large naval gunships of the early 20th Century, larger than a cruiser and of comparable size to a battleship.
		The idea was that the big guns would allow it to take out destroyers and smaller cruisers before the battlecruiser ever got into range of their guns or torpedoes, while their speed would enable them to escape enemy battleships, or to swoop on crippled enemy battleships during a fleet action.
		The original battlecruiser concept proved successful at the Battle of the Falkland Islands during World War I when the British battlecruisers HMS Inflexible and HMS Invincible did precisely the job they were intended for when they annihilated a German cruiser squadron commanded by Admiral Maximilian Graf Von Spee in the South Atlantic Ocean.

	HMS Courageous (50) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Built as a "large light cruiser" during World War I, Courageous, her sister HMS Glorious, and half-sister HMS Furious, were the brainchildren of Admiral Lord Fisher, and were designed to be "light cruiser destroyers".
		The design was for a light battlecruiser; while having 15-inch guns, she was actually classed by the British Navy as a light cruiser because of her light armor protection.
		Courageous could be distinguished from her sister Glorious by a shorter round-down on her flight deck at the stern, by a different type of mast, and the addition of a charthouse on the island.

	Glorious class aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HMS Glorious and HMS Courageous were originally built as 'large light cruisers', which is a cross between 'a light cruiser with 15-inch guns' and 'a battlecruiser with almost no armor'.
		The final legend design for Glorious and Courageous was submitted to the Admiralty for approval on 28 January 1915, and was approved with a few changes on 14 March.
		In terms of visual recognitional differences: Courageous had a tripod mast while Glorious had a pole mast; Glorious had a lengthened flight deck at the stern with a more pronounced round-down; Glorious had her quarterdeck 1 deck higher; Courageous had an additional chart house on the island.

	Battlecruiser
		A battlecruiser is a large gunship, larger than a cruiser and of comparable size to a battleship.
		The original battlecruiser concept proved successful at the Battle of the Falkland Islands during World War I when the British battlecruisers HMS Inflexible and HMS Invincible annihilated a German cruiser squadron commanded by Admiral Maximilian Graf Von Spee.
		At the Battle of Jutland two years later, however, the British battlecruisers were employed as fleet units and engaged German battlecruisers and battleships before the arrival of the battleships of the British Grand Fleet.

		Battlecruisers were of comparable size to a battleship and had the guns of a battleship but substantially thinner armor, the weight saving allowing more powerful engines to be fitted to give it greater speed.
		The original battlecruiser concept proved successful at the Battle of the Falkland Islands during World War I when the British battlecruisers HMS Inflexible and Invincible did precisely the job they were intended for when they annihilated a German cruiser squadron commanded by Admiral Maximilian Graf Von Spee in the South Atlantic Ocean.
		Battlecruisers are defined as distinct due to their mounting armament equivalent to that of the battleship and having insufficient protection against such armament.

		Tucked away somewhere I have the early stages of a Shrike class LAC that I haven't been able to finish as the details are out of my league.
		According to the Nefarious Ship List, a Minstrel Class would have a single laser and two missile tube chase armaments, three lasers and four missles to a broadside, and six PD laser clusters to each broadside and two fore and aft.
		If you have good eye sight, you'll notice the Courageous has a different dorsal grav array than the Nike, though the bow and stern grav arrays are the same, just smaller.

		The secondary armament was mainly a new triple 4 inch mount that although in theory had a high rate of fire was actually disappointing in service owing to being complicated to operate.
		The class used turrets ordered for cancelled battleships of the 1914 programme built rather than use them on a conventional battlecruiser they were used on these Large Light Cruisers - necessary to get around a ban by the British cabinet on the construction of new capital ships.
		HMS Courageous saw action in 1917 in an inconclusive raid on German patrols.

	No Washington Treaty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The two Courageous class large light cruisers are converted to aircraft carriers.
		Congressional opposition to defence spending dissipates after the failure of the Washington Conference to contain Japanese expansion, and it is believed that Naval Superiority could be achieved by completing the 1916 programme, in tandem with a modernisation programme for existing battleships to extend the range of their main armament, and convert them to oil fuel.
		The battleships and battlecruisers of the 1916 programme were followed in the shipyards by a building programme of cruisers to address this key deficiency in the US fleet, and a modernisation programme for a number of existing battleships completed between 1916 and 1923.

	Battlecruisers
		The battlecruisers, brainchild of Admiral Sir John Fisher, combined heavy guns and high speed in the largest hulls of their era.
		This book traces the development of Fisher's original idea into the first battlecruiser Invincible of 1908, through the "Splendid Cats" of the Lion class, to HMS Hood in 1918 -- the largest warship in the world for the next twenty years.
		The origins of the unusual "light battlecruisers" Courageous, Glorious, and Furious, which later found fame as aircraft carriers, are also covered.

		I'm going to have it fill the place as the Alliance battlecruiser, and I'll probably rename it the Warrior-class.
		Well, four torp tubes is actually two less than the Courageous.
		I was intending to arm it with 8 torp tubesand 8 phalanx turrets, but that would probbaly be quite a bit of overkill.
