Heavy Cruiser

Heavy Cruisers are meant to get in close and slug it out. They carry massive defenses and close-medium range offensive punch. They are rare in modern times because they lack the speed to serve as many other cruisers can and do not have the firepower to stand up to actual capital ships.
