I did not realize that FACs could load troops from my Liberty ships directly. If I don't need troop transport bays, I don't need the Chatham at all. My hive class FAC carriers can carry 12 FACs and they are faster with good defenses.
Anyway, I took your advice and came up with this as a close analog to your shuttle.
Chatham class Assault Ship 5,700 tons 53 Crew 854 BP TCS 114 TH 400 EM 300
3508 km/s Armour 6-28 Shields 10-240 Sensors 1/1/0/0 Damage Control Rating 1 PPV 0
Maint Life 0.47 Years MSP 94 AFR 259% IFR 3.6% 1YR 199 5YR 2990 Max Repair 200 MSP
Intended Deployment Time: 6 months Spare Berths 2
Drop Capacity: 5 Battalions
400 EP Internal Fusion Drive (1) Power 400 Fuel Use 48% Signature 400 Exp 10%
Fuel Capacity 500,000 Litres Range 32.9 billion km (108 days at full power)
Gamma R240/288 Shields (5) Total Fuel Cost 60 Litres per hour (1,440 per day)
PhalanxCIWS-200 (1x6) Range 1000 km TS: 20000 km/s ROF 5 Base 50% To Hit
This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes
