I see well maybe I needed a little more clarification at the time but I still meant over 3000 each.
I remember 3 carriers combined had 10,000 crew, 600 pilots, 500 fighters made up a third of the carrier fleet, which had been lost in about two months, but it has been a LONG time since I read ER.
From the way I remember, the novel refered to the Concordia as a fleet carrier or heavy carrier, no real distiction made, but what class was the Medium Carrier refered to?
Perhaps the Waterloo cruiser?
