Yorktown Class Carrier (D8)

The Yorktown Class Carrier is a secondary warship of Colonial Fleet.

History
Built in response to President Adar downsizing the Fleet, the Yorktown Class Carrier was built to help replace the loss of air wings before construction started on the Titan Class Super Heavy Battlestar. While the Yorktown could not engage in ship to ship combat it could bring in massive numbers of Vipers.

Design
The Yorktown Class Carrier has only defensive railguns, missiles, and limited armor. It carries a massive air wing of 400 Vipers and 100 Raptors. It was designed to launch its air wings and then retreat to the edge of the battlezone while under the protection of its escorts. Unlike most ships, the Yorktown is designed to launch its entire air wings all at once. Some voice issues with leaving the ship without any extra vipers while totally depending on its escorts for protection; but this was seen as not an issue.
