- 原文英語は、バトル級・重巡宙艦の名称 "Battle-class " の後に駆逐艦を意味する" destroyer "を記載しているが、艦種の区分が前後で矛盾する上に、映像をみる限り、明らかに バンシー級・駆逐艦【Banshee/SD】や、バンシー級を小改装したグレムリン級・誘導ミサイル駆逐艦 【Gremlin/SDG】 であるので、翻訳者の側で訂正した。
The Southern Cross Aerospace Command determined the need for a vehicle to assist in launching their spacevessels into a low earth orbit for launch to conserve their reaction mass for deep space operations.
An auxiliary requirement was for the vehicle to assist in launching their space vessels when a rapid launch situation required more launch facilities than were available at the major space facilities.
These requirements led to the development of "the Ox space lift tug" that allows naval vessels to be launched vertically into low earth orbit while the vessels using the primary launch facilities would launch in a more conventional angled launch profile.
The Ox consists of mostly engine and reaction mass.
Five Oxen are capable of lifting a fully loaded
Battle-class (Banshee-class or Gremlin-class)destroyer to low earth orbit.
