We need 2 carriers, I have 2 modified nimitz class which hold 116 aircraft. We need 2 more to equal or surpass them, i have 2 regular nimitz and 2 fast escort carriers so i dont want anything like that, we are looking for a carrier to match up with the 2 super nimitzes. Post your offers to build, or your already designed carriers here. (*note* the modified nimitz class carriers were built from the keel up based around the nimitz loosley following on some proposals for the "CVX" carrier. [the supplier has ceased to exist....])

If you provide me with more detailed specifications we could produce a pair of these for you, with minor improvements. We expect to be given full production rights and sales rights in return, of course.
