The '''''Hamilton''-class aircraft carriers''' were an incremental improvement on the [[Upham-class aircraft carrier|''Upham''-class]] vessels. All 16 were built and designed for the [[Zamastanian Naval Forces]] between 1959-1974 to supplement the ships lost or damaged in the [[World War (Iearth)|World War]]. While none of the ''Hamilton''-vessels remain in service in the [[Zamastanian Armed Forces|Zamastanian military]] and 12 have been decommissioned, scrapped, or repurposed as museum ships, 5 of the ships were sold to nations friendly with Zamastan.
