The Churchill-class destroyer is a dedicated patrol vessel, capable of
high-speed intercept at both STL and FTL ranges. Able to engage at both long
and short ranges, the Churchill can provide a threat to even larger armoured
opponents.
Crew
The standards of the New Britian navy enlisted and command are high, and only
qualified trainees are accepted to our academies. Conscription is a matter
for the New Britain Army, and marines - if necessary.
6-man crew - handles tasks at: Easy-14, Average-13, Hard-12, Very Hard-11
Computer System
The Churchill possesses an advanced, state-of-the-art Dedicated Tactical AI
to assist the crew. In a pinch, this computer system can be ordered to take
over one or more ship functons with some expectation of success - provided
the situation is easy enough to grasp, and fairly routine.
IQ-14 Dedicated Tactical AI - handles routine combat tasks at: Easy-15, Average-14, Hard-13, Very Hard-12
Armament
The Churchill carries 300 100-kiloton proximity-detonated nuclear missiles in
a forward launcher for long-ranged intercept profiles; 3 300-megajoule
particle beam turrets on its central hull; and 30 3-megajoule UV laser very
rapid-fire turrets, also on its central hull, for point-defence fire.
Armour
The Churchill is armoured with twelve hundred tons of carbon-nanotube
reinforced polymor nanocomposite, with the greater bulk on its front and
central hull sections, while not neglecting its rear armour.
Operations
With a light crew compliment and few cells, the Churchill may be assisted by
a small marine troopship for prisoner capture and transport.
Absent such a vessel, dangerous prisoners may have their life pods secured to
the hull with doors facing into space, for immediate transport to the nearest
friendly starbase.
