		Lexingtons are armed with 6 Long Range Missile Bays, 4 Heavy Laser Cannons, 14 Medium Strength Rapid Fire Laser turrets, and an experimental EBC-30 "Yamato" Heavy Laser Cannon, 1/4 the power of an Ikarzuchis Mega Laser.

		However, the lighter Garfish class cruisers, with their large turret, were as or more capable against the Invid as the Battle class, and proposals to refit the still existing vessels and reopen Battle production were turned down, although one ship was refitted as a prototype development.
		The Battle class was represented in the EF with thirty-four vessels, ten of which were sent back to Earth with the Marcus Antonius, or later with the first REF counterattack against the Invid.

		The Apollo class is a starship design from the beginning of the 24th century, according to the known registries.
		While further ships of this class have been built in the meantime, the USS Defiant probably remained the only one with a Romulan cloaking device and was still in experimental status at the time of its destruction.
		In the battle scene of DS9: "The Emissary", this number can briefly be seen on the saucer hull before it is blown up, although it seems to be way too high for the aged Excelsior-class design.

		The ship seemed small compared to the bulk of the exploration cruiser as she emerged from behind the planet than had so far obscured her, but something about the lines of the ship said that she was not to be taken lightly.
		Small blood near her skin burst with effort and the master of the Lexington literally sweated blood with the exertion even as the tiger, Hank, snuggled close to lend his reassuring presence and his loyalty to the effort, knowing that the end was near.
		The heavy cruiser shuddered with the impact and then erupted in a brilliant blaze of light as her forward fusion bottle shattered, releasing huge amount of energy inside the ship, cutting her in two and instant before the cruiser became a ball of expanding gas and fire.

	The Starfleet Museum - Yorktown Class and Minotaur Class
		In June 2158, the M/AM/fusion-powered MINOTAUR fighter (P/A-33) and the M/AM-powered YORKTOWN carrier (CVM-5) were introduced in an attempt to overcome the operational limitations of early M/AM ships by combining the speed and range M/AM-powered warp flight with the maneuverability of high-impulse fighters.
		YORKTOWN was based on the PIONEER-class cruiser, which had entered service in 2154 and had itself been developed from the BISON-class transport.
		Both ships were at least twice as fast as the fastest Romulan cruisers and fighters and were also able to evade or outrun most enemy missiles until late in the war.

Federation Independence-class Heavy Cruiser: After the RTN Dampning System became active, Star Fleet became concerned that the only ships that were capable of exploration were either too large to risk being off by themselves during a time of war, or too small to adequately defend themslves and hold an area of space.
		The Cruiser was well armed with quantum torpedoes and a large phaser array and had excellent lab concentration as well.

	The Battleship Kongo
		The consensus of opinion seems to be that the "battle cruiser" was misconceived -- neither fish nor fowl: too much of a battleship to be relegated to cruiser tasks, but too little of a battleship to be hazarded in the line-of-battle.
		These cruisers all began to look like miniature battleships and, indeed, it was they that had the speed and range to form lines of battle in most of the significant surface engagements of the Pacific War.
		The class of 1910, when the Kongô and Hiei were planned, survives today in the battleship Texas, as strange to modern eyes as a dinosaur, on public view at the San Jacinto Battlefield, outside Houston, Texas.
