Ship of the Week: U.S.S. Canberra
The San Diego-Class Cruisers are very powerful ships and are primarily used as fleet escorts to larger ships such as Battleships, Carriers or Dreadnoughts, however Cruisers themselves are often used as command ships of much smaller ship groups.
The Canberra took part in the invasion of Hoyle in 2297, where she was a fleet escort as apart of the 10th Cruiser Squadron.
The Canberra was chosen in 2299 to lead the Reinager Invasion Group, and as it became the group’s flagship – Commodore Arthur Greene was transferred aboard.

The design kind of reminds me of a cap ship in the Wing Commander universe. It looks good Lew.
