The ENS Ouderlig, formerly known as the ZMS Huffman, is a Hamilton-class aircraft carrier in service with the New Elkland Navy. Originally launched in 1965, then-ZMS Huffman served in the Zamastanian Naval Forces and saw action in the Tariel War and the 1982-1999 War in Vulkaria. Decommissioned in 2000 and scheduled for scrapping in Anchorhead, she was instead sold to the Elkland government in 2004, refurbished, and was renamed the Ouderlig. She continues service in the Albarine Sea, largely for anti-pirate and humanitarian missions.
