The Painlevé-class carriers are a series of aircraft carriers used by the Sieuxerrian 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, departments, and regions of Sieuxerr. A modified variant of the Painlevé was built by for the Sylvan Navy and named the Duce-class. The Loire was lost in 1978 following the use of tactical nuclear weapons against it, and the Painlevé would be declared scrap after struck by an anti-shipping missile in 2004. The last ship, Aveyron would be retired in 2003 with the launching of the Lemosin-class carrier Auvernhe. It would be completely scrapped by 2012. The last three ships origionally to be built and comissioned by Sieuxerr were cancelled due to budgetary constraints post-1978.
