The Scanrúil-class was a class of seven aircraft carriers built for Royal Ossorian Navy starting in 1980. The class comprised of the ships Scanrúil, Neamheaglach, Buacach, Dochloíte, Cáiliúil, Treallúsach, and Dochloíte.

Design

General characteristics

The Scanrúil-class ships had an overall length of 333 m, a beam of 41 meters at the waterline and 77 meters at the extremities, and a draught of 11 m. She displaced 106,000 t at standard load. Each of the ship's four sets of geared steam turbines drove one 5-bladed propeller and were powered by a pair of liquid fluoride thorium reactors and were rated at 280,000 shaft horsepower. This gave the Scanrúil-class a speed of in excess of 30 knots.

Flight deck and hangar

The Scanrúil-class ships had an armored flight deck which was 333 m long. The class was fitted with an enclosed hangar, an angled flight deck, arrestor gear, and four compressed steam catapults. Four deck-edge elevators (three portside and one starbord) allowed aircraft to be transferred between the hangar and the flight deck. The ships' aircraft capacity was rated at 90 aircraft, but the typical flight group consisted of no more than 84 aircraft. The ships' crew totaled 5,700 officers and ratings.
