- As I recall, (correct meif I'm wrong here) the Enterprise is somewhat
- the equivalent of a Navy heavy cruiser. [At least the original one was]
-
- While there might be some Marines abord a cruiser, its function is
- *not* to carry "several thousand troops" from system to system.
- You would need a troop carrier for that.
