Aircraft carriers of your country

Postby Hippostania » Sun May 13, 2012 4:34 am

Does your country's navy operate aircraft carriers? If you do, how many, and what are they like?

Hippostanian Navy operates 20 aircraft carriers and 20 amphibious assault ships that are sometimes classified as aircraft carriers, though they can only be used by VTOL aircraft. All Hippostanian aircraft carriers are named after female names ending in A.

Image
The Merina class aircraft carrier is currently the only ''real'' aircraft carrier operated by the Hippostanian Navy. It is roughly equivalent to the US Nimitz-class, though there are some differences.

Image
The Amanda class amphibious assault ship is considered to be a light aircraft carrier, as it can launch helicopters, F35's and Harriers. It serves as a combination of transport for Hippostanian Marines, landing platform dock and helicopter carrier/escort carrier.

The Radiatian Federal Sea Force currently operates three CVN aircraft carriers - the RFS Eisbrecher, the RFS Rosenrot and the RFS Rammleid.

Formerly we operated 5 aircraft carriers, but two were sold in the early 90s following the collapse of communism.

Fatatatutti currently has five aircraft carriers with several more building. Each has an air wing of about 100 attack and multi-purpose aircraft. Their role is to extend the reach of the Air Corps in destroying any invasion force that approaches our shores. They are not intended to take the war to the enemy. Thus, they have relatively shorter range and fewer repair facilities than the heavy carriers of most nations.

The only carrier operated by us is the Dmitri Zakarov, which was sold to us, along with part of its air wing, by India and was then converted to an amphibious assault ship before entering service with our Navy. It can be seen here in early service with our Navy.
Image

The Harriers sold with it were retrofitted with Russian avionics and weapons to improve compatibility with existing weapon stocks and remain in service, while the helicopters it was sold with have been relegated to the National Guard and replaced with the Ka-60.

Overall, the Saurisian Navy employs two classes of Aircraft Carriers currently. First, three ships of the Explorer-class currently remain in use:

Then, there are the ships of the Horridus-class, which are the mainstays of the Saurisian Carrier Forces:

In addition to several vessels of the Horridus class that remain in service there are the four ships of the Ronald R. Meyer class:

Then there's the Tenga-class assault ship. <OOC: but I'm not posting a pic or link about it because I'm currently redoing it as the old design was created before I knew anything about ships>

So your little nation has more fleet aircraft carriers than every RL navy has ever had, all together, since the end of WW1 until today? :roll:
