Uraga Class: Escort Battle Carriers (CV/CVS)
Contents
Program
- Government: United Nations, New United Nations
- Ship Type: Carriers, Two-deck-type Space/Water Dual-purpose carrier (NUN)
The Uraga class is the new stealth carrier class after the recent generation of ARMD carriers. It has weaponry, armor, and maneuverability comparable to a cruiser. It has been assigned as the flagship of small fleets. Few have been stationed in each colonization fleet due to their high costs compared to the ARMD carriers, but the replacement of ARMD carriers is proceeding one by one. Several are in active service as defensive stations docked to unarmed core ships such as the Riviera and Hollywood.
The Uraga-class aircraft carrier is a 500m-class Two-deck space/water, dual-purpose, aircraft carrier of a higher grade than the Guantanamo class. It has the operating ability far exceeding the Maizuru. Besides space, in atmosphere, operation on water surfaces is possible. With such comprehensive high performance, they would serve as the flagship of a small fleet at one time, but the deployment remained small.
