==Overview:==
The McKenna Class battleship was the largest jump-capable craft built
during the Star League and remains perhaps the best-known of all WarShip
classes. Weighing a little under 2 million tons and measuring 1.5 kilometers
in length, the mere presence of a McKenna can make an opponent reconsider
military action. But the McKenna’s fearsome reputation was not built on its
size alone.
An unprecedented number and variety of weapons give the design an arsenal
that remains impressive even by modern standards. Forty-eight Kreuss XX PPCs
mounted in the vessel’s side and stern provide the bulk of its firepower.
Capable of engaging any targets larger than fighter craft within 400
kilometers, these powerful weapons could cripple or destroy most WarShips of
the time with a single volley. However, the McKenna’s massive arsenal also
generates an unprecedented amount of heat, necessitating a multitude of
coolant circuits. The McKenna’s distinctive ventral and dorsal fins form part
of this system and increase the area from which the vessel can radiate heat.
The cooling circuit can be operated at a reduced capacity when the vessel is
not engaged in combat. This reduces the McKenna’s infrared signature, and
consequently the likelihood an enemy will detect it. A complement of eight
aerospace fighter squadrons and six DropShips round out the McKenna’s
offensive capabilities.
The McKenna earned a reputation as an excellent combat vessel shortly
after its introduction in 2652. Indeed, a tour of duty on a McKenna came to be
considered the high point of a naval career. The design’s reputation, however,
made McKennas prime targets during the war to liberate Terra. Although 280
McKennas had been produced in the 130 years before the fall of the Star
League, only 29 survived to see the liberation. Eleven of those vessels were
so badly damaged they had to be scuttled. The remaining vessels left with the
Exodus fleet, but only three have been seen in service with the Clans.
Rumor has it that one such vessel – the McKenna's Pride, flagship of
Aleksandr and later Nicholas Kerensky – maintains a geosynchronous orbit above
Strana Mechty. Reportedly, technicians drawn from all the Clans maintain the
vessel in pristine condition. The vessel is rumored to form the centerpiece of
the Clan Founding Day celebrations, and the story holds that until one Clan
captures Terra and assumes its place as ilClan, the McKenna’s Pride will
remain above Strana Mechty.

The McKenna MKII refit was intiated by the Snow Ravens to bring thier one
McKenna up to modern standards, these changes was reflected in the increase of
the ships I.S. to provide for heaver armor than was possible for the original
design, also the NL/55 compliment and the designs AR-10 Launchers was
increased moderatly to provide needed flexibility. Also the ships fighter and
small craft allotment was increased along with the inclusion of Battle Armor
to the ship.
The main upgrade for the ship other than armor was the allotment of a array
of AA/AD/AM defense weapons, overall the upgrade to the design comes in
roughly at 720 million cbills, well within the Snow Ravens resource reserves,
and at the same time increasing thier ship's capabilities to restore the
McKenna's claim as the most powerfull ship built.
