LNS-Utah

[rayne]

Captain Andrew Hunt was in the mess hall on the Missouri awaiting confirmation of his new command to come through from Admiral David Hale. Hunt was told a new Assault Battle Cruiser had just been commissioned for the fight against Rheinland, the LNS Utah.

The senior crew members had been picked by Hunt and he also had a senior member of the LSF as his Executive Officer and Intelligence advisor, Secretary Julia Wolfe. She wasn't always on board as she had her own gunboat to command along with her fighter.

The captain was thrilled to be given his own ship after many years as an XO on a Siege Cruiser. He was experienced and very well respected amongst his subordinates. Hunt always thrived to get the best out a ship and her crew as well as trying to improve himself in the process.

The ship was fully armed with twin Anti-Matter Light Mortar Artillery Batteries, a Cruiser class Anti-Matter Battle Razor, a Long Range Cruise Ballistic Missile Launcher, 6 Cruiser Point Defence Batteries and 2 Battleship Primary Turrets. The weapons array was still in the experiential phase and was subject to change once primary tests had been completed.

Due to construction deadlines, the Utah was fitted with a basic reinforced ablative steel alloy armour strengthened with a steel mesh underlay, this made the ship slightly massive and slow but, the weapons more than compensated for this. Captain Hunt had order the construction of a Titanium Armour but that would take some time. He wanted the Utah to go through her shakedown runs to iron out any "aches and pains" in her construction....
