Design
The Aurora class was designed along the lines of a Battlecruiser, but was instead tasked with a primary role of shore bombardment. It was armed with that task in mind, and ship to ship combat taking a secondary role. With that said, its heavy armament does make it more than capable, assuming the cannons are within range; however, its light armor means it cannot take the type of beating that it can put out.
