Tigert Class Carrier
With the recent upgrading of Briandom's air fleet, there is a need to add Short Takeoff/Vertical Landing carriers to the navy.
Due to the recent design swaps of the F-15 and F-16 for the new F-35, a new breed of carrier will begin construction within the next few weeks. The first carrier will be completed in about a year.
These carriers are not to replace the current Nimitz class in place now, but instead to be a compliment to them. Some carrier groups will contain a Nimitz and Tigert class carriers, others will have only a Nimitz or Tigert.

Specs:
Length: 1,015 feet
Beam: 250 feet
Displacement: 60,000 tons
Maximum speed: 30+ knots
Propulsion system: Nuclear, 2 Reactors, 4 Shafts
Crew: 1,500
Compliment: 50 planes, 12 helos
Defenses: 4 Sea Sparrow (Mk 29) 8-Tubed Launchers, 4 20MM MK 15 Phalanx (CIWS), 3 Rolling Airframe Missile launchers, 6 MK 137 Chaff Launchers, SLQ-32(V)4 Electronic Warfare Suite, N/ALQ-25 Nixie Torpedo Countermeasure, Towed Torpedo Decoy.
Combat Computer: The combat computer tracks and identifies specific enemy targets. The computer can identify and track up to 500 targets simultaneously.
LASER/Radio Communication: Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Range: 600 miles or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay.
RADAR (3D) ITT SPS-48(E): Long range S-Band pulse Doppler providing detection at all altitudes with an estimated detection radius against a 0 dBsm target out to 185mi. System consists of a electronically scanned phased array antenna mounted on top of the command tower.
RADAR (2D) SPS-49(A): Long range L-Band radar providing two dimensional air surveillance in the presence of severe clutter and jamming environment. The system has an estimated detection radius against a 0 dBsm target out to 185mi .
RADAR (Surface) SPS-67(V)1: Short range X-Band two-dimensional radar providing highly accurate surface and low altitude detection.
RADAR (Navigation) SPS-64(V)9: Short range X-Band two-dimensional radar providing a high degree of target resolution for accurate detection. Maximum detection range of 150 km
RADAR Warning receiver ZTR-2 (RWR): Providing all aspect broadband protection from RF guided missiles
