Notes:
These were an answer for a cheap, stand-off, hard-hitting small ship. The NAC
Naval Command wanted something that was fast enough to get in close, deliver a
potentially devastating blow to an enemy capital ship, and get the Hell out of
Dodge again. BuShips modified a TICONDEROGA for demonstration purposes, and
came up with the CHAMPION. Satisfied observers from the NAC Naval Command
placed an order for 12 of these ships. One Class-2 battery had to be dropped,
as well as the two Class-1 batteries, in order to mount the two CSK-12
Sundance Missiles. The remaining Class-2 battery was rotated 60 degrees in
order to give it anti-ship coverage in the forward 180. Support ships would be
necessary to protect the flanks. These ships are to usually be assigned as
replacements for TICONDEROGAs in the Destroyer Squadrons, and would prove
especially effective when paired with HORNET-class CVMs.
