HCSN reveal future carrier plans

With the second aircraft carrier CSS Clone Empire expected to enter service alongside CSS Cloneworld next year the HCS Navy have been revealing their plans for the follow-on class of carrier which will be much bigger.

Still known as "Future CV" these 50,000 ton carriers are expected to enter service from 2118. The existing Cloneworld class will then become support carriers. The HCSN confirmed that typically the future carriers will carry a mix of F-45K and A-85NTK aircraft. Usually 20 of each though more could be carried should the need arise. At least 12 SH-26 helicopters will also be carried.
