The Hellenic class aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier in service with the Imperial Sea Legion developed as a successor to the significantly more limited Apostle-class carrier. It was conceived during a case study undertaken by Naval High Command on the next generation of carrier air groups. The Sea Legion was found to be wanting in terms of capability to use sea lift aircraft such as the Belfrasian C-2 Greyhound, which had significant capability in seaborne operations. With the position of key EPTC being increasingly threatened by nations such as Kadaria and Marad, it was deemed paramount to have greater operational ability than the Apostle class could provide. Thus, a single Hellenic class was approved for construction in 2010 along with decommissioning of the St. Peter in order to redirect naval funding. A four year long construction program and the decommissioning and scrapping of various older corvettes cut costs and permitted the navy to spread the cost of construction out over a greater period of time. Significant amounts of parts and design elements were borrowed from the earlier Apostle class as well in order to reduce design, construction, and maintenance costs. The vessel was commissioned in early 2016 at a ceremony in Aenonesos.

Deployment History

Operation Tranquility

The Hellenic class has seen one deployment in its time in service. In 2017, it conducted anti-piracy operations off of the coast of Staroslava and deployed air groups against various pirate holdouts on the coast.
