The Yonne-class carriers were a series of aircraft carriers used by the Sieuxerrian Navy. They were built in the later years of the Pan-Septentrion War and commissioned in the years after. They were the first purpose-designed carriers used by the Sieuxerrian Navy, with the previous carriers having been converted from battleships and battlecruisers. Both ships would undergo a number of refits and modernizations over their period of service and while in the same class with a number of similiarities, experiences from one ship influenced the other during such modernizations and refits.
