The Painlevé-class fleet carriers are a series of aircraft carriers used by the Sieuxrrian Navy and Sylvan Navy. They are the first large "fleet" carriers used by Sieuxerr and Sylva. The class of ships was named after Edward Painlevé, who was Consul of the National Senate during the Pan-Septentrion War, going against the long-tradition of naming capital ships after former or current provinces and departments of Sieuxerr. A modified variant of the Painlevé was built by for the Sylvan Navy and named the Duce-class.
