Doctrine

The Battleship is the fleet heavy hitter. While it lacks the strike range of the carrier, it is very durable and requires a lot of concentrated firepower to defeat. Battleships showed their worth in the Exterminator War, being the only vessels able to stand up to the massive firepower of an Exterminator Super Battleship.
The battleship, whilst powerful is slow, and so it is not best suited to anti-pirate or colonial protection duties.
