The Tiffany Bergersen-class aircraft carrier was a projected class of nuclear powered warship to enter service with the Imperial Castarcian Navy and would have served as the largest ship in the ICN (bar the conceptual Emperor Connor-class battleship), at almost half a kilometre long and weighing in at over 600,000 tonnes, if plans had gone through to see the class produced. The idea was proposed in early 2011 as a plan for the Imperial Castarcian Armed Forces to "dominate the seas" and improve the power projection capabilities of the Empire. The design was rejected by Castarcian High Command on the grounds that it was "impractical, hugely costly and simply not needed."

The initial proposal would have seen two ships of the class enter service by 2017. The class was so named for Castarcian war hero Tiffany Bergersen, whose actions earned her the Legend of the Castarcian Empire award during the Castarcian war of 2009/2010. The two ships of the class were to be named Tiffany Bergersen and Rachel Hill respectively, and with the rejection of the aircraft carrier design, both the planned CVN-4 and CVN-5 of the Conquest-class aircraft carrier took the names. However, CVN-4 and CVN-5 were cancelled recently and as such there are no current plnas to use the ship names.
