The Sukarno-class aircraft carrier is a light aircraft carrier used by the Qolaysian Navy and the Gladysynthian Navy. The three ships in its class, QNI Sukarno, QNI Sanaky, and GHS Marsden were built and supplied by UCSS Beleroskov in 1982, 1984, and 1991 respectively. The ships are the smallest functioning aircraft carriers in the world. The aircraft carrier was designed to operate an air group of fighter aircraft and helicopters, and is fitted with an aircraft ski-jump. Both of the Qolaysian ships have been deployed on several disaster relief operations, including in the aftermath of the 2021 Temebok earthquake and tsunami, and they've seen limited combat in the Togana War.
