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]]. | 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]].

The first 5 carrier were developed based on the initial specifications, eventually dubbed Flight I. Bases on lessons being learned in [[Operation Kipling]] 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 Montrau I, the Flight I carriers began to be retrofitted to the Flight II specifications in the mid 70s. By the completion of the final ship of the class, the Boniface I, in [[1974]], all of the ships of the class were up to spec. After that they underwent smaller equipment and armament upgrades, but never a full-scale retrofit. | |||
