It has no weaponry of any kind to speak of, and is quite fragile, so is kept away from combat engagements as much as possible. It is equipped with three fire control systems, enabling it to perform a scan of three targets simultaneously.

-A formidable vessel, the Erzherzog class of SDN is equipped for a mix of roles.

It's pulse torpedoes have an extended range which can cause devastating damage beyond the reach of most beam weapons. However, this comes at a cost of limited short to medium range firepower. If caught in close combat with equivalently sized vessels, it has to rely on its great strength to survive. Earlier designs carried two fighter groups, but one of these was recently swapped out for a 50% increase in pulse torpedo tubes. The fighters are now regulated to a scouting or light combat role, or in supporting fighters from dedicated carriers.

 Carrying only four flights of fighters, the Neu Salzburg doesn't compare well to similar sized carriers of other navies. However, it is well armed and very well defended, and pilots can be sure that their base will still be there at the end of an engagement. The Neu Salzburg is even able to defend nearby vessels with its area defence systems, so is often paired with a BDN or SDN. Carrying only four flights of fighters, the Neu Salzburg doesn't compare well to similar sized carriers of other navies.
