Systems 1 x FCS 2 x PDS 2 x Class-2 beam (F,FS,AS) Notes: The Miyazaki/C was an attempt to answer the criticism of the Miyazaki/E, that being a need for a small ship to use in anit-Pirate activity. The Miyazaki/C concentrates its power into a broadside that can be reversed with a simple roll maneuver. The Miyazaki/C matches the power of the NSL Ehrenhold FF without sacrificing speed (it does however not have the armor of the Ehrenhold). However, it could not overcome the political forces that forced a refit of most Miyazaki's to the Minerva specification. It is an interesting side note that the other NAC asymetrical design, the Avalon, started going through refit just after the Minerva conversion of the Miyazaki's.
