Combat cruiser was a term applied to certain battle-oriented cruiser-type starships.
Two types of 22nd century Vulcan cruisers, the D'kyr-type and Suurok-class, were sometimes referred to as combat cruisers, although they were sometimes used for non-combat roles as well. (ENT: "Fallen Hero", "Future Tense")
The Majalan colonists of Prospect VII were capable of fielding combat cruisers in 2259, although theirs were vastly inferior to Starfleet's Constitution-class heavy cruisers. (SNW: "Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach")
This term may be comparable to the more common heavy cruiser or battle cruiser classifications.
