	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.
		MINOTAUR was approximately 50 meters long and carried a hybrid warp drive system consisting of 10 M/AM power modules and a fusion reactor.
		Most MINOTAURs were of the original Mark I type, but 59 were of the Mark II type, whose command hull was lengthened 6 m to accept the improved Python warp missile.

	HMS Blake (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The cruiser was host to the Westland Wessex HAS MK3 helicopters of 820 Naval Air Squadron from 1969 until withdrawn from service in 1979, when the ship became the last ship in the Royal Navy to fire a six inch gun.
		Due to the number of crew and the increasing obsolescence of guns, she was withdrawn into reserve in 1963.
		HMS Blake was the first British ship to be defeated by the United States Navy, when the USS Ranger attacked her during the American War of Independence.

		The Seraph Class is one of the strangest vessels in the LeuthCorp Navy.
		The Seeker Class Light Cruiser is more of an "AWACS" unit than anything else, although fully capable of running and defending on their own, they have almost no offense capabilities, but do not count as a non-combatant due to being there in the midst of the fighting.
		Minotaur class was given because of the extended foreward hammerhead, which gives this class a rather lopsided look and feel to it.

		Cruiser Warfare, the most recent game in our Great War at Sea series, is built around the attempt by the German East Asia Cruiser Squadron to steam from its isolated base at Tsingtao in northern China around the world to Germany.
		Minotaur, the new flagship of the China Station, was the equal of the German ships on paper, but in an even fight the edge would probably have gone to the crack German crews.
		The German cruisers also were much smaller than their British counterparts, coming in at 3,800 tons (4,200 for Emden) compared to 4,800 for Newcastle and 5,200 for Yarmouth.

		Fitted with up to date weapons, engines, and two squadrons of fighters and a compliment of shuttle craft, the Minotaur was meant to be the new fast dreadnought of the fleet, but the cost to build the ship made the previous DNF more sensible.
		Essentially, a new heavy cruiser is a light cruiser hull armed with the firepower of a heavy cruiser and in the case of the Miranda, perhaps even more.
		Upgrades to the Miranda class began in the early 2360's but were quickly haulted in favor of newer ships that were coming on line.

		Germany would build a new class of large armored cruiser, and to make up for the lost battleship construction she would build six of the new type.
		Minotaur carried four 9.2-inch guns in turrets fore and aft, and ten 7.5-inch guns in single turrets along either broadside.
		The German building pattern since 1900 had been to order four or five battleships and two big cruisers in every other fiscal year; as these new cruisers were larger than the last class of battleships there would be no less of a need for steel or labor.

	ACTD: ASDB Excelsior-Class Starship Specifications v1.0
		The Excelsior Class has transcended generations and, while no longer the glory posting it once was, still represents the backbone of Starfleet and one of her most enduring symbols.
		With the Miranda class supplanting the Oberth as a surveyor and deep-space scientific platform, the Constitution class was the true ship-of-the-line for the Starfleet.
		The Excelsior was escorted by two Miranda class starships, the USS Archangelisk and the USS Sevastapol on her maiden voyage to protect and to record the proceedings to verify the speed and efficiency of the new drives.

	The Grand Fleet
		The cruisers, with one destroyer to each cruiser, were stationed 16 miles ahead of the Battle Fleet, spread six miles apart on a line of direction N. and S. ;the cruisers being eight miles apart and their positions being in the order from cast to west :
		The attached cruisers, the Active, Boadicea, Blanche, and Bellona, were on the flanks of the Battle Fleet, and the 3rd Battle Cruiser Squadron, with the light cruisers Chester and Canterbury, about 20 miles ahead, the whole steering S. 50 E., and zigzagging, the speed of advance being 14 knots.
		This slower squadron was some distance astern of the battle cruisers and, by reason partly of the smoke of the ships ahead of the enemy vessels and partly of the light to the eastward having become less favourable, difficulty was experienced in seeing the targets, not more than two ships being visible at a time.

	Star Trek Minutiae » History of the Earth-Romulan War » Archer Class and Curran Class Patrol Cruisers
		Minotaurs were usually carried internally at warp speeds by Yorktown-class carriers and released deep within enemy territory.
		However, if a Minotaur were unable to rendezvous with the carrier or if the carrier were destroyed, the Minotaur could return to UE space at low warp speeds using its onboard fusion reactor.
		Although Curran was a more powerful attack ship than either Minotaur or Archer, it did not achieve the fame of either of these earlier ships because by the time it was introduced the tide of the war had turned in the UE's favor.

	Monmouth Class Armoured Cruiser
		Cruisers in the class were HMS Monmouth, HMS Bedford, HMS Berwick, HMS Cornwall, HMS Cumberland, HMS Donegal, HMS Essex, HMS Kent, HMS Lancaster and HMS Suffolk.
		In response to the number of amoured cruisers being built by Germany, France and The United States, The Royal navy ordered the 10 cruisers of the Monmouth class, over the naval programmes of 1898 / 1899 and 1900.
		These ships were planned to have the same speed as th4e Drake Class, but be smaller and so be cheaper to Build, they also had the same armour arrangement as the Cressy class but the armour was of a reduced thickness.

	HMS Hindustan (1905)
		The 9.2" rifle (right) was the standard armored-cruiser weapon in the British Navy at the time (the 1909 Minotaur class and better carried four in twin turrets) and was a better armor-piercing weapon than the 7.5" gun originally considered.
		However, the necessity of carrying a different calibre shell (making 5 sizes of ammo in all, counting the anti-torpedo boat weapons) was inconvenient; this was the sort of overcomplication that led to the great simplification of the all-big-gun dreadnoughts only a few years later.
		She was torpedoed in the North Atlantic only two days before the Armistice and sank Nov. 9, 1918, with the loss of 50 killed and 80 injured, mostly in a cordite fire in one of the 9.2" magazines.

	The Starfleet Museum - Romulan Ships during the Earth-Romulan War
		CABBAGE cruisers had an observed maximum speed of warp 2.5 and a cruising speed of warp 2.1, which were slightly better than those of the UESN's fusion-powered AMARILLO-class cruiser.
		CABBAGE class cruiser were most famously involved in the Romulan invasion attempt of 2157 which was halted by UE forces at the Battle of Hell's Gate.
		All 27 Romulan CABBAGE cruisers involved in the invasion (as well as a score of support ships) were destroyed, and an estimated 30,000 Romulan sailors and soldiers lost their lives.

		Essentially a light cruiser, this is a modified DD hull with a frigate engine attached to the upper hull and dropped the photon in favor of an additional phaser and drone G-rack to save power.
		One of the Fast Cruisers was extensively refit to fill this design, sacrificing phaser firepower in addition to its already weakened photon armament in order to mount a pair of special sensors.
		The introduction of their X cruisers caused the project to be cancelled before any ships of this design could be built.

		Envisioned as a sort of "super armored cruiser", the type was designed to scout for the battlefleet without fear from enemy cruisers, yet was fast enough to escape an enemy battleship.
		They were to be capable of running down any existing cruiser and destroying it, thus protecting British supply lines to her overseas empire.
		They were the first large cruisers to steam at 25 knots, they had the highest horsepower of any vessels yet built, and they had the highest freeboard of any existing warships.

		New to this class was an early type of ultraphased pulse laser cannon, two of which were mounted in the chin of the primary hull.
		Although a series of KRECHET cruisers on station along the mission route might be used to protect the carrier by turns, such a strategy would clearly increase the cost and complexity of the mission as well as the risk of detection.
		The alternative of launching MINOTAUR cruisers to fend off attackers would require the ship to drop out of warp and was not seriously considered.

		HMS Minotaur, a 14,600-ton armored cruiser built by the Devonport Dockyard, was commissioned in March 1908.
		The lead ship of a class of three, she represented the last British armored cruiser design, as the type was superceeded by the considerably more powerful (and expensive) battle cruiser.
		Minotaur initially served with the Home Fleet and, in 1910, deployed to the China Station as flagship.

		The Minotaur-II guns mounted on the vessel have at least twice the yield of the smaller Minotaur-I cannons mounted on Tempest class cruisers, and a full salvo is capable of completely gutting a medium-sized capital ship instantly, to speak nothing of a small SSN that makes up the bulk of UEO taskforces.
		Of all the world's powers, only the UEO and Macronesia truly capitalized on this idea; each side producing their own classes of "cruiser" submarines designed to fill the role of capital warship and long-range carrier.
		The third vessel of the class; Archangel; was destroyed when the Island was subducted in a subsequent attack orchestrated by Section Seven.

		The class also carried a nose mounted plasma cannon, although this was of lower power than that of the U-22.
		They proved to be vulnerable themselves, as the lighter structure that gave the U-24s their speed made them vulnerable to attack from nimble Minotaur class fighters and Powhatan class Cruisers.
		U-24s managed to destroy 5 Yorktown class carriers, and 19 other capital ships of various types, but that was at enormous cost, of the 112 U-24s deployed during the war, ships destroyed or listed as missing totalled 82.
