In the Paternian Navy, cruisers are distinguished by being surface combatants that can host an admiral's command staff.
Thus, the North Point-class is still a cruiser. The Salem-class (modernized North Point and Honolulu-class ships) have four Phalanx guns (two on each side), three Mk 45 Mod 4 systems (three on centerline), a pair of 8-round Mk 29 Sea Sparrow box launchers, and about 40 HSLAMs in deck-mounted ABL systems.
Thus, the North Point is a cruiser on account of the fact that it is a surface combatant that can host an admiral's command staff.
Oh the Salem’s are fitted with Aegis Combat System and can fire SM-3 anti-ballistic missile missiles that can also hit satellites in LEO. Most use the SM-2 or SM-6 though.
The San Antonio’s can only use the original SM-1s in addition to HSLAM-1 from the Mk 27 and Mk 13 rail launchers. @KerlonceauxIndustries
@KerlonceauxIndustries The San Diego-class is considered by some as a battlecruiser. We don't classify it as such because our designation system doesn't have a designation for battlecruiser. It's simply classified as a guided missile cruiser, although you'd be correct to call it a battlecruiser on account of its size and capabilities.
It’s completely fictional and pertaining to a role play where that in fact happened.
Of course Canada has neither the capability nor indicated any willingness to level Moscow. They’re more than happy to let the UK or US to do that. @StarKnight697
It's not the size of a standard container. And our pilots know what standard containers look like, because we use empty steel 20-foot containers for target practice all the time.
@RocCrafter101 Even if it did work, the performance would be deficient as an aircraft and a submarine.
The requirements for a submarine are pretty much the exact opposite of an airplane, so any design of this sort would be heavily compromised at best. Still, quite an impressive thing if you made it even work.
@RocCrafter101 I see.
I made few, if any, criticisms of the Iridian Navy.
I simply stated that they are a defensive green-water navy.
@Stellarlabs We took it to another RP.
@InternationalAircraftCompany To trigger them.
No problem! @Baldovino
North Point: sees guns on this thing
+1NP: At least I have nuke shells.
@BaconAircraft lol
+1@RailfanEthan Do you mean "Genji?"
+1@InternationalAircraftCompany Eh.
@Adlerkrieg Neat.
Thanks for the heads up! @Texasfam04
@Aeroman77 Thanks!
+1@CRJ900Pilot Thanks!
Sure! @KerlonceauxIndustries

Lovely cruiser you have there.
Thanks! @50Airworks
Thanks! @MadBomber
@MadBomber Holy crap you're alive!
@KerlonceauxIndustries You forget that the ships would not even be in service by the time the Aurora comes along.

@KerlonceauxIndustries Well I would not exactly consider a heavy cruiser an even match against a battleship.
Unless the North Point has either W33 Mod 1 or W79 Mod 2 nuclear shells in her magazines.
In which case the Kronshtadt will probably be obliterated in a blaze of atomic fission.

It was based off the Brooklyn-class designs, with elements from the Cleveland, Baltimore, and New Orleans-classes.
Also by the time orbital bombers try to have its way with it, you’d have to deal with the far more powerful San Diego-class. @KerlonceauxIndustries
+1@Aeroman77 Thanks!
+1Thanks! @AstonMartin145
@BoomBoss17 Thanks!
@Speedhunter The Interceptor is the older sis.
+1@SledDriver lol
@SledDriver What do you mean, "this is not a replica?"
Everyone knows that butterflies have air-to-ground missiles and plasma cannons. ;)
+2Would "analysis of wrecked Kestrels" be under "Federation" section?
Still, looks good anyways. @Dllama4
@Speedhunter She's the older sister.
+1Are the parking brakes intuitive to use? @Dllama4
This isn't World War II.
@Baldovino Neat.
@Tully2001 Noted. I probably should have established the setting more.
Thanks! —pls updoot— @AverroesIndustries
I used the Roleplay tag. @Delphinos
It’s completely fictional and pertaining to a role play where that in fact happened.

@KerlonceauxIndustries Thanks!
But I do like the marked improvement in build quality.
Kudos to you.
+1@RocCrafter101 Nice build, but has one issue.
It's not the size of a standard container. And our pilots know what standard containers look like, because we use empty steel 20-foot containers for target practice all the time.
+1@JoshEraDix2345 Thanks!
@InternationalAircraftCompany lol
@JoshEraDix2345 Sure.
@YuukaNeko I just realized something. All your latest builds have suppressors.
@YuukaNeko Thanks!
@RocCrafter101 On the other hand, this is indeed quite impressive.
+1Thanks! @AverroesIndustries
