Ship class information
The Alaska-class were six large cruisers ordered before World War II for the United States Navy (USN), of which only two were completed and saw service late in the war. The USN designation for the ships of this class was 'large cruiser' (CB), a designation unique to the Alaska-class, and the majority of leading reference works consider them as such. However, various other works have alternately described these ships as battlecruisers despite the USN having never classified them as such, and having actively discouraged the use of the term in describing the class. The Alaskas were all named after territories or insular areas of the United States, signifying their intermediate status between larger battleships (which were mostly named after states) and smaller heavy and light cruisers (which were named after cities).
My reasoning behind this suggestion:
I think that there aren't a lot of cruiser ships in Aeronautica, even if there is, only 1 being in works (like the admiral class cruiser). The Alaska-class cruiser is also one of the less talked about ships in my opinion, as it gets overshadowed by a bigger kind of a similar role, which is the battleship, with famous ships such as the Iowa, and the Yamato.
If this is already in development that I did no know of, I am sorry to suggest.
