Designed originally for use by shipping corporations to recover stranded merchant vessels, the ''Cortez''-class has since found its way into government and private use. The [[Imperial Navy]] purchased an undisclosed number to recover some of its lighter non-combat ships, the [[IISS|Scout Service]] operates several as part of its repair fleet, and many others have been put to use at [[Class A Starport|Class A]] and [[Class B Starport|Class B]] starports as recovery vessels.

The ships of the Cortez class have the capability to repair most disabled ships, and can carry any ship up to 800 tons in displacement and still maintain Jump-1.

=== General Description & Deck Plans ===
 +
The ship has three and a half decks, each roughly 190 ft. (57.8 m) long and 60 ft. (18.2 m) wide. The full decks are 10 ft. (3 m) high, the half deck 5 ft. (1.5 m) high.
 +
 
 +
The top deck carries the bridge and eight staterooms (six single occupancy, two double occupancy), as well as the sickbays, low berths, and a 0.5-dton ship’s locker. Immediately aft is a 75-dton cargo bay and one of the 50- dton-capacity space docks (holding one 40-ton fuel skimmer and one 10-ton launch in most cases). One sandcaster turret is on either side of the bridge and an airlock is adjacent to the bridge.
 +
 
 +
The second deck houses 14 staterooms (all double occupancy), another 75-dton cargo bay and the other 50-dtoncapacity space dock. Next is the half deck, which holds all of the ship’s fuel
 +
and the fuel processor.
 +
 
 +
The last deck holds the labs (one of which is almost always devoted to metallurgy), all logistics modules, two staterooms (for the engineers and lab techs), a 25-dton cargo hold (normally full of spare parts) and all the drives.
  
−
=== Basic Ship Characteristics ===
+
The external cradle machinery is located on the bottom of the deck. Both laser turrets (port and starboard) are accessed from engineering. One airlock is in engineering and another is adjacent to the logistics modules

Following the [[Imperial Navy]] and [[IISS]] [[Universal Ship Profile]] and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The [[small craft]] factor indicates the number of squadrons (of ten [[subcraft]]) carried on the [[ship]]. [[Ton]]nage on the [[universal ship profile]] is shown in [[kiloton]]s (thousands of [[ton]]s) where necessary. {{Page cite|name= Fighting Ships |page= 10 |version= Classic Traveller}}

The Cortez class Salvage Ship is a TL–10 specialized Salvage Ship.

Description[edit]

Designed originally for use by shipping corporations to recover stranded merchant vessels, the Cortez-class has since found its way into government and private use. The Imperial Navy purchased an undisclosed number to recover some of its lighter non-combat ships, the Scout Service operates several as part of its repair fleet, and many others have been put to use at Class A and Class B starports as recovery vessels.

The ships of the Cortez class have the capability to repair most disabled ships, and can carry any ship up to 800 tons in displacement and still maintain Jump-1.

General Description & Deck Plans[edit]

The ship has three and a half decks, each roughly 190 ft. (57.8 m) long and 60 ft. (18.2 m) wide. The full decks are 10 ft. (3 m) high, the half deck 5 ft. (1.5 m) high.

The top deck carries the bridge and eight staterooms (six single occupancy, two double occupancy), as well as the sickbays, low berths, and a 0.5-dton ship’s locker. Immediately aft is a 75-dton cargo bay and one of the 50- dton-capacity space docks (holding one 40-ton fuel skimmer and one 10-ton launch in most cases). One sandcaster turret is on either side of the bridge and an airlock is adjacent to the bridge.

The second deck houses 14 staterooms (all double occupancy), another 75-dton cargo bay and the other 50-dtoncapacity space dock. Next is the half deck, which holds all of the ship’s fuel and the fuel processor.

The last deck holds the labs (one of which is almost always devoted to metallurgy), all logistics modules, two staterooms (for the engineers and lab techs), a 25-dton cargo hold (normally full of spare parts) and all the drives.

The external cradle machinery is located on the bottom of the deck. Both laser turrets (port and starboard) are accessed from engineering. One airlock is in engineering and another is adjacent to the logistics modules

Class Naming Practice[edit]
