My nation of Inkana is almost landlocked. But it does have coast acess. I'm not quite worried with attack from the sea, but I would like a mini carrier or two so i can get attack aircraft to a troubled area fast, without need of runways. I would like to buy one for sure, but depending on price i might buy another.

bump, come on people this is your chance to make a few billion!

I suggest you check out the Athios-class made by Hybalt:

This is a type of ship I should really add to Imperial Praetonian Shipyards...

I'm thinking of creating a Trimarian-hulled light carrier...

The Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland builds and sells the Walmsley-class light carriers as well.

Can any of those carriers house up to 35-40 aircraft? because that's the number i'm looking for.

The Athios-class houses 25 and the Walmsley-class carries 20. I think IDF sells a Charles de Gaulle-class or its equivalent (that class has the number you're looking for).

You may be able to contact the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland about converting one of their other classes into an aircraft carrier to carry the number you seek. The Trimarian-hulled carrier that I'm considering designing would be based somewhat loosely on the Charles de Gaulle.

Thank you, I'll take a look at IDF's light carriers

OOC: Wow, thanks Greenmanbry. :)

The Athios Class Light Carrier can deploy and retrieve up to 25 aircraft and helicopters. While the exact number of aircraft carried is less thatn the amount you are looking for, we feel this might be an advantage in your case. Since you are looking for a light carrier or two to protect your coastline, it would be to your nation's benefit to distribute the aircraft among 2 carriers. This way, if one is placed out of action, another is still able to function, and you can deploy them to 2 separate conflicts or missions. The Athios Class features a stealthy design that helps increase survivability, vital with smaller vessels.

[OOC: I just added the Nelson-class light carrier designed to carry the number of aircraft you seek. If it meets with your approval, click this link to order: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=345001. The price of the Nelson-class is $1.85 billion and it carries 40 aircraft.

*bump* for Inkana.

Did you get the carriers you were looking for?
