The Victor Sarissita-class was the first class of purpose-built aircraft carriers for the Cacertian Royal Navy in response to the develoopment of carrier vessels by other navies of Tyran. During the advent of the age of flight, the class was originally constructed with two flight decks that accommodated the short take-offs and landings of biplane aircraft. All three ships were later converted into a single, large dual-purpose deck capable of handling the larger and heavier aircraft that began entering service in early 1930s.
