Notes:
A specialized heavy/attack destroyer, the TUFFLEYs were designed to operate in
packs, much like wolves Their tactics evolved to the point where they acted
like extra-huge fighter squadrons, and to this end they are extremely
maneuverable, able to bring their guns to bear over a wide area. They
generally require support ships, though, in most situations. They do not
function well in independent operations. Against fighters and missiles they
have limited defenses. Two dozen of these craft were sold to the UN.
The UN liked the idea of a mass-attack destroyer so purchased two dozen of
the TUFFLEY DDHs from the NAC for use in their fleet. A half dozen of these
were 'upgraded' with the new hull tech advancements for better survivability.
