	Lion class battlecruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lion class were a three-ship class of battlecruisers of the Royal Navy.
		The design of the Lion class was an attempt to solve the problems of the Indefatigable-class - their predecessor - which suffered from poor armoured protection.
		To attain their high speed of 27 knots (50 km/h), the Lions, too, had to do away with much of their armour protection; it was a risky decision as their length was over two hundred feet longer than their predecessor.

		The Penobscot-class Battlecruiser is a warship of the new school: large for a battlecruiser, swift enough to justify the name--and surely armed and armored enough for the name--the Penobscot puts many old battleships to shame.
		She is rather squat for her length (960m, with a maximum width of 394m in both dimensions), but her performance brings to mind a leaner, more predatory image.
		She is capable of far more acceleration than many larger warships--she can, in fact, match acceleration with the Star League's corvettes, because her four 10.5-giganewton class thrusters combine to give the Penobscot a peak acceleration of 3Gs.
