The Huginn is the latest in a long line of solid USN battleships. Initially designed as a heavy support vessel, the Huginn sports amazing firepower in the form of its four railcannons, which form the core of its impressive firepower. The Huginn's biggest weakness is its reliance on chaingun for the bulk of its short-range combat ability. Despite carrying three capital class ion beam cannons in its frontal array, the Huginn is often at a disadvantage when battling more maneuverable vessels, specifically frigates. Huginn squadrons are often deployed as shock units, forcing a breakthrough in enemy formations which can be exploited by the rest of a battlegroup.

Defensively, Huginns suffer at long range. While their 4 LR-torpedo tubes and four rail turrets do give them significant striking power, their dorsal and anterior point-defense coverage is lacking. As a result, the ships turrets and hull-mounted equipment are vulnerable. Still, with a proper escort, Huginns are among the most dangerous ships in the USN arsenal.

Massive damage sync and massive damage dealer but as all battle ships go pretty slow. Its recommended to have anti bomber escort at all times. Bombers and artillery are its only weakness.
