<datafile acesed.....open>
CB-19 Fortress "Fort" Louisbourg

Design Origins: Project "switchblade" <detials classified RHO clerence or higher)

Sponsership: J.Johnson Mineing and Machenery Texas system Houston Liberty Advanced Warfighting Center New york system Manhattan district 12 Bronx Advanced weapons design and Testing Faculity Bronx Military base, Captian James Patterson (230million credit donation)

Keel laied: Original ship: 795 AS status:Memorial on planet of construction,Houston

Class Original: Nevada "bombardment" Cruiser BCB<see specs "CB-17 Nevada KIA 801 war houston orbit "

Keel Laied: current ship:816 AS
sponsership: Same as above
Faculity of birth: norfolk shipyards(keel and interior and computer systems ,Manhattan starships Faculity 12 Deep Space Enginerring distrect 15 "south"(propulsion system and command Segment)
Legnth:950 meters(as designed)
Legnth(as Deployed):1,350 meters
Beam:215 Meters(as Designed)
Beam(as deployed): due to her unique hull design the fort is equal to two "Ticonderoga class Assault Cruisers in beam
Height: 550 Meters (at top most section)
Class: Fortress-class "command and control " Cruiser
Designations: CB(battlecruiser) CBX(battlecruiser Experemental) CBA(battlecruiser Assault/Attacker/Agressor) CBL(battlecruiser Leader) CB-S(battlecruiser Strike/support/Stealth dependent on moduels installed)
CBR(Recon Battlecruiser note this Designation replaced the Stealth designation of the CBS refits due to confusion amoung fleet deployment ST replaced the "strike" of the "CBS" class ships)
note she carrys her predecessors number of -19 as a memorial when that ship was striken from the Naval Regrestry as a memorial to the Nevada(cb-17)that went down with all hands after the captian ordered his ship on a ramming course with a hostile battleship in houstons orbit in the 801 war she went down with all 2250 personell aboard


Defencive systems:
2x Light morters
2x:Cruiser Grade Missle launchers (both capable of launching ICBMS)
2xBattleship Primary cannons("winglet mounts foreward)
1xCruiser EMP Cannon
remander of her Arsenel are normal Cruiser turrets
Armor: classified due to prior mission role
Propulsion specs: classifed due to prior mission role.
it can be said that she has 3 Reactors,
two primary one Reserve alltho the second primary reactor can be run at full power it is normally only around 25-50 precent due to fuel costs the reserve reactor is able to power all standard systems for a classified amount of time but is normally deactive unless at battlestations inwhich case it shunts power directly to weaponary and sheilding leaveing the main reactors to power the ships engines and Damage control and computer systems along with other ship critical systems it can also be said it is a hybrid Ion fusion Drive system
Sheilding:standard Cruiser Graviton sheilding due to the forts size she has a total of 4 primary generators and 4 auxury generators in event of battledamage she can lose 70 precent of her sheild arrays and stil lmaintain sheilding as esentally her "auxulry" generators are another set of primarys

Hanger systems: can carry 12-14"Grizzly" assault shuttles or 2 strike craft Squadrons)one bomber one fighter) and 2 assault shuttles (with hanger moduel that number increses per number of hanger moduals refitted strike craft ops are diffacult from the fort due to hull dynamics of her so she like her sisterships rarly are used in a "carrier" role

Crew; anywere from 600(minimal due to size and systems complexityl)to 3k(with barracks moduels ) typical Crew is one infantry battallion (with armor support and armorys /vehicle depots dependant on mission ordered) and crew totaling around 1,650 personell

class notes: when the commanders of the respective ground branches needed starships they had allways went to the navy untill the formation of starborn marine expidationary units and army"starforces" mobilized to better defend liberty from her wartime agressors each branch(army marines and lsf)wanted new ships as the navy was upgradeing they took the time to design and eventually build the "fortress" class Battlecruisers amoung other designs which either failed or were cut due to funding or with the new line of gunboats droped due to lack of military effectivness and thusly redesigned and launched as the "springfeild" class gunboats(see respected artiecle).

The fortress class cruisers are a new breed of starships able to either function in "rank and file" fleet formations or like the fort louisbourg herself operate at least semi autonoumsly the key to this flexibilty is the modular design of each ship be it the Bridge or the enginerring houseing it can be replaced within 24-48(wartime conditions if situation demands it) hours with an entirerly new unit be it more armor or a more "recon" heavy "stealthed" one the fort louisbourg was one of originally 4 ships(2 are on indefinate hold and the most imedate ship CB-20 is not yet named and only 20 precent complete).

the problems with the class like all new ships was fundingte end cost would eventually lead to a"signifigant delay" as stated by the Department of Defence of an Assault carrier,a delay that was deemed unaccepctable,but the flagship of the class and testbed for all new systems the Fort louisbourg made it to deployment status.the captian of that vessel along with some of her designers were quoted saying "shes big, shes mean and shes damn versitile we can do allmost any mission a battlecruiser would be suited for and even some you wouldent expect them to be used in"

<end of archive>
jim resumed speaking "as you know my ship was recently given a more active role in the military and alltho shes a mobile base shes stil lable to protect our borders ,you know my mission.

my standing orders are as allways
1.protection of Liberty and her Assets
2.supporting the Primary fleets military efforts with Wartime enemys
3.extended range Search and Rescue and Retreval of lost or damaged vessels civilian or military in origin
4. Serve as a "testbed"for any new tehnology employed for the military
sorry about the archive data it is read only from norfolk youll have to trim it yourself i dont have the ablity too as its a hardline transfer and im sending this from my armpad computer it lacks any advanced editing systems ,as im currently unable to acess a proper terminal

long live liberty
