The Galileo setting sail
Statistics:
Displacement: 595,000 tons
Length: 625.76 meters overall, 531.7 meters waterline
Beam: 136.8 meters extreme, 96 meters waterline
Draught: 20 meters maximum, 19 meters limit
Propulsion: 6x A4W reactor; 720,000 shp
Speed: 30 knots
Range: Essentially unlimited
Endurance: Limited only by supplies on board
Complement: 7,200 officers and men, 3,500 men for jet command and aircraft crews
Armament:
35 SAM
30 ASM
16 RAM Launchers
Countermeasures:
Infra-red Decoys
Aircraft carried: 200 air superiority craft/ fighter jets/ medium sized support craft
Unit Price: 20 Billion
DPR: Currently unavailable
Description:
The Faxanavian navy has always faced the problem of finding a better supercarrier. With such a reliance on aircraft within it's doctrine, Faxanavian forces needed a bigger aircraft carrier. And, so, the Galileo Class Supercarrier was born.
The Galileo is a floating fortress. It comes armored with 16 RAM Launchers, and launchers enough to fire 35 SAMs and 30 ASMs. For protection, it utulizes infra-red decoys. The Galileo utulizes a double hull for maximal defense.
The Galileo is capable of accepting any and all small to medium sized aircraft, such as the F-14 Tomcat , the UH-60 Black Hawk, or the EA-6 Prowler. In total, the Galileo can accept upwards of 200 air superiority, fighters, and support, and refuel and launch them at a moments notice.
The Galileo utulizes a FCFFIS to gather and process its data. The galileo will correspond with almost all registered satelites, and can utulize satelite or GPS tracking in its targeting systems.
The Galileo requires massive energy to move it, being such a vast ship, but this task is handled by the 6 A4W nuclear reactors, capable of pumping out 720,000 SHP (Shaft Horse Power), or achieving about 30 knots.
The Galileo can support up to 10,800 on board crew, officers, aircraft command, etc. These forces are all capable of living on board for as long as rations can be supplied from the Galileo's vast hull.
The ship is outfitted with one tower control island. Control is generally in the main tower, but can be split to smaller, more localized control centers in emergency.
The main deck is outfitted with multiple lifts which can support short range VTOL or regular take off, depending on the plane launching from them. The Galileo utulizes 20 catapaults, spaced at intervals along the main deck, as well as 15 elevators, spaced near the center, to optimize launch time.
The Galileo first came into conceptualization when the Faxanavian armed forces discovered a lack of ships capable of launching large numbers of Faxanavian airforce planes from relatively close quarters. The major problem was the carry capacity of the majorly used Gerald R. Ford, Which was not large enough for Faxanavian needs. Therefore, they designed the Galileo Class, with the intent of creating a ship with a vast carry capacity so that air based assaults were much larger.
Nations under which the Galilieo is currently in service:
Faxanavia (4 ships currently in service: HPS Galileo, HPS Vitruvian, HPS Solomon, and HPS Freescott)
SaintB (2 Ships currently in service: KSB Benard the First, and KSB Pride of the Fleet)
Zaheran (1 Ship currently in service: HMS Oceanus)
