Modern missile cruiser design. Proven very effective at space and system control. Pwr system extremely efficient allowing the
vessel to rely exclusively upon partical beams for close in defence. The removal of railguns from the platforms concept has
significantly reduced mass allowing for fast interplanetary speeds. These virtues coupled with a robust power plant has provided
the marines with a maneuverable, long range strike platform. Although primarily used in an anti shipping role the Kennedy retains
a modest nuclear arsenal for planetary assault.
