Light Attack Craft

Light Attack Craft (LAC) is a sublight warship class in the Honorverse, a fictional universe which is the setting of the Honor Harrington series of military science fiction novels written by David Weber. Old-style LACs were used for system defense for single-system nations. They often massed around 10,000 tons. Advanced LACs were invented by Admiral Sonja Hemphill, and are much more capable. The size of advanced LACs are in dispute. According to the glossary of War of Honor, LACs usually mass between 40,000 and 60,000 tons. There have also been references to "at least 30,000 tons." In Echoes of Honor, Captain Alice Truman informs the crew of H.M.S. Minotaur that Shrikes are 20,000 tons in mass.
