Sylvester
Vice Admiral
Independence Class Light Carrier
Designation: Light Fleet Carrier (CVL)
Manufacturer: Trojan IV Shipyards
Service Entry: 2692
Length: 660 Meters
Beam: 124 Meters
Draft: 95 Meters
Mass: 61,400 Tonnes
Velocity Cruise/Max: 190/250 kps
Y/P/R: 6/6/6
Acceleration: 81 kps/s
Hull Armor: 1,500 cm
Bridge Armor: 2,000 cm
Engine Armor: 1,750 cm
Launcher Armor: 1,500 cm
Hangar Armor: 1,450 cm
Core Strength: 24,690 cm
Armament: 12 Dual Laser Turrets, 6 Dual Mass Driver Turrets, 4 Anti Torpedo Turrets, 2 Dual Im-Rec Missile Turrets
Fighters: 60
Designed to do raiding in much the same way as ships like the Tarawa, she is rather well armed for her size but lacks armor to make up for speed. Her small fighter bays inhibit the use of very large bombers such as the Devastator. She would usually travel with a Plunkett and a few Murphy's for escort.
I designed this in response to comments that we really don't have a light/escort carrier in the post WCP era except the Eagle, which would be a 30 year old design at the time this is built. Comments?
