The SCZ Nievisca, formerly known as the ZMS Flynn, is a Hamilton-class aircraft carrier in service with the Zoygarian Navy. Originally launched in 1973, then-ZMS Flynn served in the Zamastanian Naval Forces and saw action in the 1983-1991 War in Vulkaria. Decommissioned in 2003 and scheduled for scrapping in Anchorhead, she was instead sold to the Zoygarian government in 2009, refurbished, and was renamed the Nievisca.
