The Leviathan Class Aircraft Carrier
http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/cvf/images/CVF_11.jpg

Specs
-60,000t
-air group of 50 aircraft
-crew of 600
-two configurations -> V/STOL & STOVL with ski-ramp
-> CTOL with steam catapult

The carrier will support up to 150 aircraft sorties per day with an air group of up to 50 aircraft in a time of crisis. Normally the carrier will have 40 aircraft, comprising typically 30 multi-role F-35 STOVL fighter aircraft, six helicopters and four airborne and early warning (AEW) platforms.

SNI has chosen not to use nuclear based propulsion for these carriers as the costs are to high, instead the carrier's propulsion system will be Integrated Full Electric Propulsion (IFEP) based on four gas turbines. The optimum location for the position of the main propulsion system is being examined, with maximising the hangar space below decks a major consideration. The range of the carrier will be 10,000nm.

Cost - 1.8 billion (SD)
