The Britannia Cruiser follows the same design philosophy of the Battleship, with torpedoes in three arcs that support in this case, two turrets. A Squadron of Cruisers can lay down quite a strong barrage of shells and torpedoes in all directions, their crews trained to manoeuvre to a position where as many targets are in range as possible. They also have the option of replacing one turret with a Shield Generator, radically improving their defensive capability.
