The Albatross Naval Striker carries sea-skimming anti-ship missiles with long range and enormous damage against ships. It cannot attack land or air targets.
How to use
A flight of Albatrosses is the fastest way to answer an enemy fleet: they cross the map in seconds and a few volleys sink a destroyer or cripple a battleship. Scout for Frigates first, the one ship that can shoot back, and either overwhelm them or strike where they are not. Against submarines it is blind and useless.
Anecdotes
The missile that made navies nervous was the French Exocet — the name means flying fish, for the way it skims a metre or two above the waves and stays out of a ship's radar until it is already too close.
