The Luiz Serrano class (or just Serrano class) is a new generation of aircraft carriers that have been designed to replace the aging NMC Endeavor (CVN-73) and Aelan-class carriers in the Cartadanian Navy's fleet. The need for these new carriers was identified as part of the Navy's efforts to modernize its capabilities and maintain its status as a global naval power. The Luiz Serrano class carriers will be built with state-of-the-art technology and advanced engineering, which will make them more efficient, powerful and cost-effective than their predecessors. These ships will be equipped with advanced systems such as the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System, which will allow for faster and more efficient take-offs of aircraft, reducing fuel consumption and increasing operational efficiency. Moreover, the design of the Luiz Serrano class carriers will incorporate features that will minimize the size of their crew, improving overall efficiency and reducing the risk of errors. The hulls of these ships will be based on the Aelan-class carriers, but with significant improvements and modernization to make them more agile, durable and effective in a variety of operational environments. It is also the first ship initially designed around the GAIA platform.

The Luiz Serrano class carriers are expected to be deployed around the world, protecting Cartadanian interests and projecting the nation's military power in strategic locations. With a total of ten ships planned, these new carriers will provide the Cartadanian Navy with the capabilities it needs to maintain its status as a world-class naval force and to protect the nation's security and interests for decades ahead.
