	Cruiser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		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.
		In the years since the launch of USS Ticonderoga in 1981 the class has received a number of upgrades that have dramatically improved their capabilities for anti-submarine and land attack (using the Tomahawk missile), and today the name is not mis-applied at all.

	Origins of the BC - Discussion
		She was still conceived of as a raiding cruiser, but had the secondary duty of operating with the fleet.
		The next class, BAIAN and her sisters, were a "pure" battle fleet type, with relatively short range but very complete armor protection.
		This "mix" seen in the British armored cruisers was carried over to the battlecruisers; but in the Russian navy at least it is clear that the "fleet" type of armored cruiser was the direct ancestor of the the IZMAIL (or BORODINO) class battlecruisers; there was absolutely no element of commerce raiding/protection in their design philosophy.

	HMS Naiad by Steven Backer
		In 1935 the Admiralty decided to rearm and chose two types of cruisers to build, the large Town Class (HMS Sheffield) that was competitive with US and Japanese designs and a significantly smaller ship that could be rapidly built in large numbers to fill the critical numerical shortfall in cruisers.
		In 1940 the class carried quad Vickers MG mounts on each side and at the rear of the forward superstructure.
		This seems to be the same gun that appeared on the Flowers Class corvettes and since IS models that class as well, I feel confident as well that they would provide that part (4” gun and mount) to you, if you needed it.
