All three Fhainnin ''Respoblachd'' class carriers (''Respoblachd'', ''Cananach'', and ''[[Vandarch Sea|Bacain]]'') were constructed by [[Sae Breach Lahan]]'s facilities in [[Rihsport]], [[Gleathan|Gleathan Province]]. During trials, it was discovered several positions on the ships, including pilots in the forward catapult slot and crew aboard the forward port support deck, were particularly undesirable for crew, while the catapult arrangement made simultaneous launches and recoveries difficult. These concerns were discussed and considered acceptable on the ''Respoblachd'', although ''Cananach'' and ''Bacain'' both had their bow ramp angles reduced by several degrees. Recovery during launches could be performed safely only if the 2 and 3 positions were empty during landing, but Fhainnin naval doctrine already emphasized massive, simultaneous strikes in both the anti-ship and fire support roles expected of a carrier group supporting the Army. | All three Fhainnin ''Respoblachd'' class carriers (''Respoblachd'', ''Cananach'', and ''[[Vandarch Sea|Bacain]]'') were constructed by [[Sae Breach Lahan]]'s facilities in [[Rihsport]], [[Gleathan|Gleathan Province]].

''Respoblachd'' conducted a round-the-world tour after its shakedown cruise in 1996 before being based in Rihsport as part of the Kilikas defense squadrons, while ''Cananach'' was based in [[Eilada]] until the [[Final War of the Deluge]], during which it served in combat operations before returning to Faneria for a refit. ''Bacain'' is the only one of the three in Fhainnin service to have not yet received its midlife refit, which is planned for 2035; its service has consisted of joint practice deployments with [[The Cape|Capetian]], [[Caphiria|Caphirian]], [[ | ''Respoblachd'' conducted a round-the-world tour after its shakedown cruise in 1996 before being based in Rihsport as part of the Kilikas defense squadrons, while ''Cananach'' was based in [[Eilada]] until the [[Final War of the Deluge]], during which it served in combat operations before returning to Faneria for a refit.
