Konstantinos VI is the flagship of the Romaian Navy. The ship, commissioned in 2002, is the TBD Romaian aircraft carrier, the first Romaian nuclear-powered surface vessel. She is named after Romaian emperor Konstantinos VI.
The ship carries a complement of Typhonas and TBD AWACS, TBD helicopters for combat search and rescue, as well as modern electronics and TBD missiles. She is a CATOBAR-type carrier that uses two 75 m C13‑3 steam catapults, one catapult at the bow and one across the front of the landing area.
