The ARSB wishes to announce the development of a carrier, a medium-sized carrier capable of carrying up to 50 aircraft. The carrier will be developed mostly to carry ASW, Anti-ship, and other maritime-mission aircraft, with a slighly different version built for carrying general aircraft.
The maritime mission ship will most likely carry 25 DP-21GL anti-ship aircraft (DP-21G modified for anti-ship roles), 12 DP-21A, 13 HVN-03M ASW helicopters. Also, each ship may carry a single CL-17 airborne radar and warning aircraft. Some variants may have slightly different numbers of aircraft such as an ASW-oriented carrier may carry more HVN-03Ms as well as CL-17AW ASW aircraft.
The general purpose ship will most likely carry a variety of different fighters with at least one CL-17 airborne radar aircraft and at least 6 DP-21A to fill the role of anti-aircraft interceptors and EW.
Rough, preliminary specifications:
3 Lifts
2 Catapaults
Under-deck storage for 38 aircraft
Twin screws (May change to triple)
Nuclear-powered (unless a suitable alternative is located)
*More detailed specifications will be released when the development stage is complete*
(Note: Actual ship will vary slightly from picture above)
