The Normandie-class anti-aerospace battlecruisers have received a new, more powerful nuclear reactor. This upgrade now allow them to operate an all-railgun secondary armament, replacing the 2 46cm Vertical Gun Systems (VGS), which take up a lot of hull space with 4 46cm railguns. Although the new guns cannot fire gun-launched missiles, they can hurl guided projectiles to approximately the same range, thus giving the battlecruisers a significant increase in firepower. The Mk 8 240cm main gun of each are now enclosed in a new, low-silhouette armored turret. They have also received "pagoda"-style composite masts with more extensive command & control facilities, allowing them to function as task force flagships.
