The Vengeance-class is the newest fleet carrier design of the Commonwealth Navy. It is replacing the older and smaller Icarus-class fleet carrier, which has served since the mid-70s. They are some of the largest and most powerful conventional-powered aircraft carriers in the world.
The Vengeance is known for its idiosyncratic propulsion scheme, being one of the first Arthuristan surface warships to incorporate integrated electric propulsion. Whilst a relatively new form of maritime propulsion technology, this propulsion scheme allows for the generation of electric power to operate the ship's EMALS catapults which will be integrated in the future, purchased from Belfras.
Vessels of the class are projected to have service lives of up to 50 years and were engineered to be capable of integrating new upgrades in a straightforward fashion throughout the period.
Typical air group
- 32 x UFC Tempest or UFC F-29 Hurricane
- 4 x Arthuristan Dynamics Mercury ECR
- 3 x Aigios Seiren
- 11 x AW.101 Merlin
