Cruisers are a type of naval vessel, typically larger than a destroyer and smaller than a battleship. They are typically armed with a variety of weapons, including torpedoes, guns, and missiles. Cruisers are designed to provide a wide range of capabilities, including anti-aircraft defense, anti-submarine warfare, and surface warfare. They are also used for reconnaissance and escort missions. Cruisers are often used as flagships for a fleet, and can be used to provide command and control capabilities. Cruisers have been in use since the late 19th century, and have evolved over time to meet the changing needs of navies. Today, cruisers are used by many navies around the world, including the United States Navy, the Royal Navy, the Russian Navy, and the Chinese Navy.
