USAN CBG Chicago

Designed to operate unaided deep in enemy territory, the Admiralty’s latest innovation comes in the form of the Chicago Class Large Cruiser. Designed to be survivable, maneuverable, and extremely lethal, the Chicago is able to do all this and more! Carrying dozens of Hawkeye Cruise Missiles, 3 Hawkeye Type 45 Naval Guns, 4 Hawkeye Battleship Cannons, and a battalion’s worth of Venture Cluster Missile Launchers allow the Chicago to punch with the weight of a Battleship! While she may seem like it, the Chicago is not a true battleship, nor is she a battlecruiser, rather, she is a Large Cruiser. She carries this designation versus that of BB and BC due to her unique design. Her extreme length rivals and exceeds that of most warships, but she is very narrow across the beam. This minimization of overall width means that comprehensive protection can be achieved using only a single row of shielding amidships, meaning that Chicago is able to possess a shielded endurance rivaling that of larger ships despite their own larger energy capacity. Able to cruise more than 90 feet above any terrain, she is also quite maneuverable. Reaching speeds of nearly 80 mph means this heavy hitter can respond to new threats in a moment’s notice. Often underestimated, the turning ability of Chicago is also quite good, possessing a dedicated steering drive towards the bow. Her flank endurance is also higher than that of most battleships due to her generous fuel reserves, meaning she’ll stay on course and on target with the utmost urgency! Costing $4. 1M BB means she doesn’t have the price tag of a battleship either, allowing for significant allocation of resources to other parts of your fleet, or a great endgame flagship if you just can’t be bothered to wait for pricier vessels! The Chicago is a great choice for deep interdiction, fleet support, or spearheading attacks, and can now lead at the forefront of your own global conquest as you feed your war machine with the latest and greatest that th
