The first Fury class BattleCarriers are now setting sail from the W.M.D. Arms Manufacturing plants and joining the Ineffable Fleets. Two Furys will be joining each fleet, with the Empire finally having a total active number of twenty, though officials have hinted that more may be constructed for storage until emergencies.
Four Furys have currently been completed and put to sea. The remaining BattleCarriers will be completed within the next two decades.
As you will be aware, the Fury class is a trimaran warship, designed to be as low visibility on radar as something this size can be. The central hull consists of a large hangar, where from aircraft launch from an opening at the prow of the ship. Above this is an open deck, where attack helicopters are stored for increased shore-attack and armour capabilities. The outer two full-length hulls sport four large turrets each, with two 20" gauss cannons in each turret, allowing the Fury to fulfill a battleship role in combat in addition to retaining an aircraft capacity superior to even that of the Hell class Supremacy Carrier.
