	''If the Leviathan were to be compared to a real-world warship in terms of class and purpose, a useful analogue could be a coastal defense monitor. At least by the time of The Second Shivan Incursion if not before. It simply lacks the speed to pursue normal fleet engagements. However, its long service life and production cycle brings costs down. By choosing Leviathans, Command can pay less for a decent array of weaponry on a stable, tough platform. A remarkable amount of durability has been achieved in a cruiser that certainly costs less than an Aeolus. Simply put, it's a cost effective defense vessel.}}		''If the Leviathan were to be compared to a real-world warship in terms of class and purpose, a useful analogue could be a coastal defense monitor.

			''As mentioned by a commenter on the Aeolus page, anti-fighter beams are functionally more effective at eliminating enemy fighters and providing point-defense against warheads than flak guns are. The positioning of the Leviathan's anti-fighter beams, particularly considering higher difficulties, makes them for all intents and purposes a deathtrap to incoming fighters and bombers - and aside from accuracy, they don't have to pierce through shields first in order to damage enemy fighters' armor, effectively halving the effectiveness of enemy ships' defenses.''}}

	''The worst mistakes I've ever made are to forget the difference between blue and red. Attacking a Leviathan as if it were a [[Fenris]] is a very bad idea. Your first thought is, wow is this Fenris only paying attention to me? The next second you're torn apart by beams and being angry at yourself for not noticing this ship is blue.''

	''With its four AAA beams and its thick hull plating the Leviathan could be a very good escort cruiser, but with just 10 mp/s it's much too slowly for that job. Even destroyers are faster! Anyway the Leviathan is quite useful in fighting enemy bombers at long range. In my opinion, the best location for this ships is near installations, depots or planets, where speed is secondary. If you have to attack a Leviathan, attack it from the front, where the [[SGreen]] is, that's the only place the AAA beams can not hit you.''
