The ZMS Camille is a Hamilton-class aircraft carrier which served in the Zamastanian Naval Forces from 1961 until her decommissioning in 2006. Her 45-year career in the Zamastanian military was one of the longest of any carrier ship, and Camille saw action in the 1983-91 War and 1999-2005 War in Vulkaria, among several humanitarian, international security, and anti-piracy missions. She is currently scheduled to be scrapped in Anchorhead.
