Interesting. Don't you have any lighter craft? Or don't you actually have ship-to-ship combat?

OOC: Well, the Navy isn't that advanced yet, so it's mostly a case of big ships with a lot of ordnance to be used as protection for transporting troops and orbital bombardment, so ship-to-ship combat would pretty much be missiles and long-range lasers fired at eachother over considerable distances. There are smaller combat craft onboard the Yorktown Carriers, though. The Navy will get more advanced as time goes by.
