The ZMS Bellete is a Hamilton-class aircraft carrier which served in the Zamastanian Naval Forces from 1961 until her decommissioning in 2011. Her 50-year career in the Zamastanian military was the longest of any carrier ship, and with the decommissioning of the ZMS Perigrin in 2007 she became the navy's second-longest active status vessel, after the sailing ship ZMS Hapson. Bellete saw action in the 1983-91 War and 1999-2005 War in Vulkaria, among several humanitarian, international security, and anti-piracy missions. She was the last conventionally-powered aircraft carrier in the Zamastanian Navy, with her decommissioning signalling the sole use of the Talon-class nuclear aircraft carriers. She is scheduled to be scrapped in Anchorhead.
