David Taylor class

The David Taylor class was a type of military support vessel used by the Royal Manticoran Navy in the 1920s PD.
It constituted a departure in design from traditional support ships. Massing around three million tons, it was only about twenty percent bigger than a Nike-class battlecruiser. It was designed as "fast combat support vessels", combining substantial repair capability and a modest capacity to carry ammunition/stores, while being fast enough to stay with a detached force of battlecruisers. It also contained armaments heavier than most light cruisers and eight launch bays for LACs. ()
The time needed for a David Taylor class vessel to translate into hyperspace from Readiness was 118.8 seconds. ()
