Notes:
The cruiser-version of the CHAMPION DDG. While the ALBION-VANDENBURG/Ms
weren't intended for stand-up fights, and usually had to have support ships
with them to draw off the heat so they could deliver their 'presents', they
retained most of the defensive protection of the VANDENBURG cruisers, so had
a better chance of getting in closer to the enemy before taking unacceptable
damage. The only defensive sacrifice that was made was in the overall drive
rating in order to fit in the SML and magazine, but this puts it on par
speedwise with the VANDENBURG/T class ships as well as most other cruisers of
this size. Typically the magazine is loaded with Extended-Range Salvoes, just
to keep the opposition honest.
