New Alexandria Class Super Heavy Cruiser

#REDIRECT New Alexandria Class Armored Cruiser
==Summary==
With the falling out of the Valiant class super heavy cruisers, the UNSC needed a new command ship level cruiser to lead into the fights. Thus the New Alexandria class was born, named after one of the largest cities on the Human colony world of Reach. A 2,000 meter long super heavy cruiser, the New Alexandria class was a heavily armored monster within the UNSC. Designed to provide both long range and close range fire, the cruiser was a notable sight in a fleet mostly due to how ugly the ship was. No beauty was added in it's completely armored design, only functionality. The class employed a multi-layer armor scheme along with the honeycomb interior armor that made the Halcyon class durable, this resulted in a heavy frame capable of taking multiple plasma hits and still continue fighting. Due to the large amount of resources needed to complete one of these behemoths of a ship, very few were actually built. These ships were the first UNSC ships to be classified as armored cruisers, so the classification AC-01 was given to the New Alexandria.
==Weaponry==
The class' weaponry was frighteningly powerful for a ship lacking Breakwater coilguns, armed with 12 Spitfires and numerous Ramparts, the New Alexandria could go through hell and keep fighting with the numerous weapon emplacements, hangers, and thick armor it provided. The ship was armed with a Mk. IX and a Mk. V MAC, both powerful weapons in their own right.
==History==
The UNSC New Alexandria was launched on November 4th, 2552 and was immediately deployed from it's berth to the fight at Earth in the ensuing battle. The New Alexandria provided a command ship for the forces as numerous Marathon class cruisers were already destroyed. Given the lack of the ODP battleclusters, the New Alexandria provided long range fire with it's bottom mounted Mk. 5 SMAC, earning it's fair number of kills against Covenant cruisers.

==Armor==
The class utilized several expensive measures to give it as much armor and durability as possible. The ship used multi-layered armor meters thick, ending up being nearly 8 meters in total armor thickness all together. The bottom portion of the armor plate used Titanium-A3 while much of the other pieces used Titanium-A. The class also employed a honeycomb interior armor scheme which meant the ship was extremely durable, and there were also rumors of the class later testing shield hardened armor in addition to what it already had.
