The Li Shan-Class Aircraft Carrier is a class of nine nuclear-powered aircraft carriers built in Zhenia aimed for service in the Greater Eastern Union Navy. Intended to serve as the de facto flagships of each Zhenian fleet and carry out over-the-horizon aerial cover for its strike group, it is the largest nuclear-powered combat vessel ever to be in service with the Greater Eastern Union Navy.
