History

Developed as part of Project Anzio, these LACs lacked all offensive energy armament to provide maximum hull volume for missile magazines and a powerful electronic warfare suite.

Doctrine called for them to be used in support roles. Against light units and merchantmen, they could be used from outside the attack range of a Shrike-B. Against heavy units, they provided close-in ECM support for Shrike-Bs. (HH9)
