unfurtunatly, the carrier offered by Isselmere-Nieland is two large for our purposes. check the thread for an order though.

We'll make you a special offer - we'll sell you a couple of our new Celerity-Class Carriers (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2835017&highlight=#2835017) at a lower cost... But in return, we'd like to establish a trade agreement.

We have limited supplies - if you are interested, please contact us privately, and work something out.

The RSYIN also offers the Lord Sunderby-class LHD, which can be converted into a light anti-submarine carrier or sea control ship. We could also convert one of our cruiser designs into a carrier.
