The Los Angeles-class heavy cruisers were some of the best ships of their time. Built just before The War began, they were to be a revolution in military technology that would vault America into a new position of dominance. In actuality, they came into service just in time to help keep America from falling to the Shang attacks. They still see service today in many roles, but it was during The War that they truly shone. They stood between Earth and the Shang and held the line.
