So Many Cruisers! (2019)
What is a cruiser? Good question.
The general consensus is that a cruiser is mid to high-level combatant somewhere in this spectrum:
Escort → Destroyer → Cruiser → Battleship / Dreadnought
But after those base assumptions, it really begins to break down.
The Keith Brothers designed the vast majority of their ships in the 100 to 100,000 ton range. And I mean everything from the smallest scout vessel to the largest battleships. There are exceptions of course, but most of their material kept within those tonnage bounds.
By the time of Template:Ct Supplement 9 in 1981, the OTU was really beginning to come together, and the Tigress class Dreadnought came out with a weigh-in of half a million tons (500,000 tons).
