| Notes | The Broadsword-E class
Escort Heavy Cruiser was created by modifying existing
Broadsword class CAs for the anti-missile role in escort service
with squadrons of the wall and LAC Carriers. Unlike those ships of the original
class which continue to fulfill their original function, this subclass does
not carry Flag/Marine Command accommodations. The mass freed up by removal
of the Flag Suite is used for upgraded fire control gear, plus additional
anti-missile electronic counter-measures and an increased allowance of EW
drones and missile decoys. The volume made available by removing the Marine Command Suite, being adjacent to the original Sick Bay, has been used to expand the ship's medical facilities. SAR-configured Command Pinnaces are also carried in place of the standard Command Pinnaces carried by the Broadsword class for Flag/HQ personnel. Additional core crew personnel (50 more than the base class) are assigned to staff these craft and assist the Medical Department. The normal load-out for this class is 75 Mk4 Countermissile Cannisters and 25 Mk38ser Shipkillers per broadside missile launcher, and 50 each of the Mk4 CC and Mk38ser ASM per chase missile launcher, in addition to the normal countermissile load-out for the dedicated launchers. Ship CO rank is Captain Junior Grade/Captain of the List. Marine Complement CO rank is Major (RMMC). |
