	Warship Pictorial No.6: Omaha Class Cruiser (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Outdated in appearance even when they were first designed, the ten ships of the Omaha class were the first of the US Navy's 'modern' cruisers to be built in the post-WW1 era.
		They were to serve around the world showing the flag in the interwar years and to give valued service during the Second World War.
		Titles in developement include the Arleigh Burke class as well as other USN types from pre-war to modern times.

		The Omaha derivative with four turrets was proposed, however, as the follow-on to the Omaha class.
		The Navy believed it needed large numbers of scout cruisers (they would not be known as “light cruisers” until 1930) to screen the battle fleet, lead detroyer flotillas, protect lines of communications and, of course, to scout.
		The battle cruiser designs grew out of a requirement to back scouting forces with heavy firepower; where British battle cruisers were enlarged armored cruisers and German ones actually fast battleships, American battle cruisers would have been massively overgrown scout cruisers, with little to no armor.

		Ships of this class were intended to be "scouts" - lightly armed cruisers capable of good speed and long range whose primary mission was to scout ahead of the main battle fleet.
		With their distinctive 4-stack design and casemated 6" guns, Omaha class ships were an aging design that was outdated by World War II.
		Her six battle stars were the most earned by any Omaha class cruiser.

		The cruiser is, per definition, the smallest ocean-going warship capable of independent operations, meaning operations in which the cruiser is the largest capital ship.
		Along with the design of new battleships, or ships-of-the-line, thus came the construction of two types of cruisers: armoured cruisers, which were intended to serve in "real" fleet actions, meaning battles, and light cruisers, that, with their lighter armament and armor could carry more coal and thus go further.
		Those who have stated that the US cruisers were at a disadvantage without them, and that their removement was a great failure, seem not to understand the situation that the US was to find in battle.

		the Omaha, built just after World War II, which were truly light cruisers but their failed design (most guns in casemates) and their age prevented their effective participation to World War II the US anti-aircraft Cruiser, rather failed hybrids between the light and the anti-aircraft cruisers.
		For some classes of ships, the US even went a step further, since the Pensacola were 10% under the authorized displacement (the Japanese were usually 25% higher).
		Those cruisers bore the brunt of the fighting in the Pacific until 1943 and took the heaviest losses (7 out of 10 US cruisers lost during the war).

	"La Galissonniere" Class Operational History
		She was at Toulon on the declaration of war, wearing the flag of the Admiral Commanding 4th Squadron as part of Force Z. She participated in the transport of gold to Canada and in April 1940.
		Postwar, the cruiser made three deployments to Indo-China and was finally placed in reserve on 1 February 1955, being condemned for disposal on 2 January 1958.
		The next operation by the cruiser was the sortie to Libreville in September, after which she returned to Dakar and was present at the time of the attack on the port, when both she and Montcalm opened fire upon the bombarding British ships, obtaining two hits on the cruiser Australia.

		American cruiser design goes into a sort of hybernation from about 1906 until 1918 when the Omaha class is invented.
		American cruisers in WWI were left over ships from the Spanish American war or oddly designed ships, such as the over gunned and over armored USS Pennsylvania and Tennessee class armored cruisers.

		NOTES: The cruiser is the largest ship in the fleet and its role is almost always as a command vessel.
		The size of a space-station, the cruiser is not a fast vessel, and so is rarely used in an offensive role.
		NOTES: A new class of ultra-large transport has been made possible by out-rigger LDS pods, small detached vessels which extend the range of the LDS field making it possible to shift very large volumes of space.

	The biggest, baddest V-Twin Cruisers of 2002 - V-Twin Motorcycle Comparison — Motorcycle Cruiser
		We love that the manufacturers are chasing the performance trend and finally granting cruisers some of the qualities they should've had all along--like lighter chassis, good brakes, decent suspension and more useable power.
		We learned that big-twin cruisers are no longer one class of motorcycle, and that this test would require more than one winner.
		At the most basic level, the two engines are the same, with the same 45-degree V angle, offset crankpins to eliminate vibration, lower-end shafts in the same places, overhead cams operating three valves per cylinder, additional oil supplying some of the cooling, and five speeds with shaft final drives.

	Ambassador Class
		In fact, this class was a primary predecessor to Galaxy, and successor to Excelsior as Starfleet's primary trailblazer.
		But judging by the prototype's registry, it definitely indicates that Ambassador is from the first decade of the 24th century, so I'm forced to place it in the earlier bracket of 2302, and indeed it may even be older than that...
		The listed specifications for ship classes are partly hypothetical, but some data such as ship lengths, weapon stats and crew complements are in some cases canon.
