TULSA is a KRONSHTADT-class CVE. | TULSA is a KRONSHTADT-class CVE. KRONSHTADT is the first starship in the Federation to carry a new generation of combat shuttles. The shuttles themselves are a radical departure from conventional subspace propulsion concepts in the Federation. And the ship has been build to accommodate these new crafts. | ||
KRONSHTADT shares many features with both of the other standard Federation carriers, BOGUE and STARFALL. She has down-swept nacelles allowing for a dorsally mounted sensor pod that contains electronics specialized for the command and control of multiple small craft. Like all carriers, she is intended to stand off from any conflict and control her combat shuttles in patrol operations and actions in the atmosphere or against multiple small targets in space rather than directly confront other starships. As such, she carriers armament comparable to a destroyer. However, since she could potentially come into conflict with a pulverizer-missile armed Dalriadan warship with the huge standoff range of these missiles, she has been outfitted with the latest generation of point defense weaponry. This weaponry has the additional advantage of being able to efficiently engage opposing small craft that might penetrate to the carrier. | |||
KRONSHTADT's specifications make her in many ways similar to the other escort carrier in service, BOGUE. However, unlike the BOGUE which was a design converted from existing military transport command fast freighter, she is a purpose-built vessel. This means that her internal layout is much more efficient than the BOGUE and all of her internal fittings are dedicated to the role of carrier. In this way, she is much more like a STARFALL-class fleet carrier writ small. This, however, actually allows KRONSHTADT to be efficient to deploy in much greater numbers than the massive, and massively expensive, fleet carriers. | |||
