The Retribution class aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier in service with the Holy Aegenic Navy developed as a successor to the significantly more limited Apostle-class carrier. It was conceived during a case study undertaken by Naval High Command on the next generation of carrier air groups. The Sea Legion was found to be wanting in terms of capability to use sea lift aircraft such as the Enaksos, which had significant capability in seaborne operations. With threats emerging from Temuair and other nations and to further the Holy Navy's projection capabilities, it was deemed paramount to have greater operational ability than the Apostle class could provide. Thus, a single Hellenic class was approved for construction in 2010. Each vessel was constructed rapidly using the enormous amount of labor available at the Anacom docks in Marvios. The vessel was commissioned in early 2016 at a ceremony in Aenonesos.
