Light Cruisers
Light cruisers tend to be fast and well-armed, but cannot absorb as much damage as a heavy cruiser or battleship. A light cruiser is as fast as a destroyer with the range of a heavy cruiser. They are not intended to last on the line of battle versus heavier ships. They are used to escort carriers, troop transports, tankers and logistical ships. They are also used to lead groups of destroyers. They scout ahead of main fleet elements and protect the flanks of large fleets.
