GENERAL NOTES

Command cruisers are advanced starships used by those in charge of fleets of ships. While a flagship will command the fleet it is assigned too, each flagship will report to the command cruiser to the admiral in charge. In the past these have been some of the largest ships commissioned by starfleet, only being dwarfed in size by battleships and carriers. In modern times however, Starfleet chose a smaller design to serve as its new generation of Command Cruiser. Charleston was designed for this purpose.
