Estia-class carrier: Difference between revisions

Line 68:

Coming out of the [[Second Great War]], the [[Navy of Burgundie]] sought to reduce the response time to conflicts in its various trade islands, especially after the humiliating lose of [[Ayermer]] to [[Daxia]]. At one point or another almost all of the islands of the [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy]] have come under threat, attack, or invasion. While [[Urcea]] had supported [[Burgundie]] in repelling these attacks it was deemed inappropriate to rely so heavily on allies for the maintenance of the [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy|thalattocracy]]. A new requirement for a class of 10 light, fast carriers was submitted to the ship building industry. [[Lansing Lines]] and [[O’Shea Container Shipping]] both submitted designs. [[O’Shea Container Shipping|O'Shea]] won the contract and began work in [[1959]].

The first 5 carrier were developed based on the initial specifications, eventually dubbed Flight I. Bases on lessons being learned in [[Operation ~~Kiplings~~]] upgrades to the design were made in the late 60s and early 70s to develop Flight II which included a 12° ski jump to allow aircraft to launch in all conditions, updates were made to the powerplant to make it more powerful, and new radars were added.

After the delivery of the third Flight II, the Flight I carriers began to be retrofitted to the Flight II specifications in the mid to late 70s.
