	Cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cruisers were large enough to fend off attacks from smaller surface ships and self-sufficient enough to roam far from their home bases.
		Cruisers were also attached to the main battlefleet and used for reconnaissance, sweeping ahead of the fleet looking for the enemy.
		Light cruisers were defined to be armed with 6.1 in (155 mm) guns or smaller and heavy cruisers to be armed with larger calibers, 8 in (203 mm) being particularly common.

	Hyperion class Heavy Cruiser: Babylon 5 Tech-Manual.
		The Heavy Cruiser is often the first ship sent into a hazardous situation, as it can deliver a massive weapons payload and has proven time and again its resiliency in battle.
		Many of the cruisers used during the Earth-Minbari war are still in use today, such as the EAS Hyperion and the famous EAS Lexington which, under the command of Lieutenant Commander John J. Sheridan, achieved the Earth Alliances first and only major victory of the Earth/Minbari war.
		It should be noted however that Heavy Cruisers are still far less powerful than the new Omega class Destroyers as illustrated when the EAS Alexander destroyed the Heavy Cruiser Clark's Town with one shot from her aft particle/laser.

	Heavy cruiser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The largest heavy cruisers build were the German Hipper class and the American Baltimore classe, both reaching over 14,000 tons (as Germany was not a signatory of the treaties and the Baltimores were build in World War II).
		This lead to the construction of 10,000 light cruisers with twelve to fifteen 6 inch (152 mm) guns that were otherwise identical to the heavy cruisers.
		The last heavy cruisers were built during World War II, and ultimately resulted in the Alaska class of "large cruiser" which were often referred to as battlecruisers because of their size and armament fulfill the battlecruiser-definition as well.

	Seydlitz History
		The heavy cruisers of the Kriegsmarine were a result of the Washington Fleet Treaty of 1921, so called "Washington Cruisers".
		Their displacement was not to exceed 10.000 tons and their main artillery was limited to 8" (20,3 cm) guns, but in reality they were up to 60% bigger than allowed.
		Between 1935 and 1937 the keels of five of this ships were laid down which belonged to two slightly different classes of ships: The Admiral Hipper and her sister Ship Blücher, the improved second batch consisting of the Prinz Eugen, Seydlitz and Lützow.

	Heavy Cruisers of WW II (Part 1)
		The last British heavy cruiser to be built was the famous Exeter, which battled the German "pocket battleship" Graf Spee in the South Atlantic, and was later sunk by Japanese cruisers and destroyers in the Java Sea.
		Her light AA battery was inferior to the German cruiser, not only in numbers but also in quality: the French 37mm gun was inferior in performance to the German equivalent (the improved Mod 33 was still being tested when France fell).
		The heavy cruisers were designed to be individually superior to those of Britain and France, in an attempt to at least partially offset their numerical inferiority.

		The London Treaty defined a Light Cruiser as having guns of 6.1 inches or less, and a Heavy Cruiser as a ship with 6.2 inch to 8 inch guns.

	Heavy Cruiser Admiral Scheer, Page I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Originally designated as Armored Ship, Admiral Scheer was taken to a dry dock after the Spanish Civil war to refit her as a Heavy Cruiser.
		The refitting didn't went without troubles and the ship was plagued with engine problems initially and didn't leave from the dock until in November 1940.
		This action is shown in the book and while the Jarvis Bay takes the punishment, you can actually see the merchant ships speeding away in the background of the picture.

	Y-CLASS HEAVY CRUISER
		An average Canis Heavy Cruiser is 460 meters long; twice as long as the KDY Nebulon B-Class Escort Frigates, but shorter than other cruisers like the Dreadnaught Heavy Cruisers and MC-80 Class Mon Calamari Star Cruisers.
		Two are located in the front of the vessel that; when aided by the more powerful turbolasers, allow the cruiser's fighters to return safely to the hanger.
		Other Y-Class Cruisers have had the interior decks and most of the armament removed for the purpose of turning it into a flying hanger, capable of carrying up to 150 fighters.

		The heavy torpedo tubes were also forward, firing from the groove between the dorsal and ventral main hull.
		In action, the Thuverl Salan cruisers proved to be quite effective, completely outclassing any smaller ship such as the Tou Redir, and having the upper hand when going against older Zentraedi designs such as were used by the Disciples of Zor.
		Further combat in the solar system saw the destruction of nine other Thuverl Salan ships, though it must be noted that the Zentraedi were not trying to destroy the SDF-1, but to capture it relatively intact.

	Heavy Cruiser
		Armored cruisers were among the earliest new ships built for the "steel navy" of the later 1880s and the 1890s.
		Consequently, at the beginning of July 1931, the eight Pensacola class ships were redesignated as "heavy cruisers" (CA), based on warship classifications established by the London Naval Treaty of 1930, but their hull numbers were not changed.
		However these were simply a continuation of the same ships' previous light cruiser numbers and were not part of the earlier "ACR"/CA series, which became extinct with the scuttling of the old USS Rochester (CA-2) on Christmas Eve 1941, soon after the outbreak of the Pacific War.

		The Avatar class Heavy cruiser is the most powerful vessel constructed since the Mothership.
		Of course, while the Avatar is powerful and very heavily armored, it is not invulnerable--with every enemy gun trained on it, the Avatar's tactical priority is as much to draw fire from more vulnerable ships as it is to destroy enemy vessels.
		As a result, the repair systems aboard a Heavy Cruiser are the most sophisticated to be found in the fleet.

		This ship, while having a better missile battery than a old Everest class heavy cruiser, carries a powerful heavy energy battery and is designed to engage other ships with beam weaponry more frequently than a Warshield class.
		Unlike the heavy G-Cannon turrets on the Warshield Cruiser and Protector Battleship, the cannon fires a single large projectile.
		Six (6) 20 cm Heavy Mass Drivers: This weapon replaced the heavy G-Cannon turrets because the G-Cannons did not inflict enough damage on targets and when ships are against other ships that had the spell impervious to energy, the problem was a severe handicap.

		Some sources have suggested that the Battle cruiser is the Dominion equivalent of the Starfleet Explorer type, their large size allowing them to carry out an almost unlimited number of roles.
		However, given the nature of the Dominion it seems more likely that these vessels are indeed warships, used in the diplomatic arena as an implied threat rather than because of their suitability to host extended negotiations.
		Naturally the Dominion is not forthcoming concerning the Battle cruisers capabilities; they commonly run with sensor jamming equipment active to prevent detailed information being obtained.

		A thorough investigation by the heavy cruiser Potemkin (CH 1711) turned up no sign on the Federation side of the border, though the Patrick’s and Tuttle’s warp trail did appear to cross in to Cardassian space.
		Not unlike the Constitution class heavy cruisers, the Truman's were designed to operate independently or as a part of an exploration task force, able to operate on their own with out supporting vessels.

		So since there were four times as many barrels I consider each to be one fourth the strength.
