So, by your definition, a slow-turning battleship in WWI or WWII would have been useless and should have been refitted as a freighter?

I agree so far as this ship won't be first choice in one-on-one-PVP. But in wing with 3 fast and manouverable smaller ships hunting solo players, it will prevent the opponent from low-wake due it's huge mass lock factor - even most of the bigger ship types would need to high wake to escape. And with it's heavy armament, it is a thread for nearly any other ship. Manouvrability? To shoot the back of a fleeing target you won't need a good turning rate. More important for this role is the high speed of this ship - to get the target into weapon range and to maintain the mass lock.
