Third Clone Navy carrier enters service

The third (and final) Cloneworld class aircraft carrier has entered service with the Clone Navy. R03 Hospital Carnage Squad will begin it's first patrol next year and allow the CN flagship R01 Cloneworld to finally have it's refit.

Hospital Carnage Squad will embark 8 K45K fighters and 4 K85NTK light attack aircraft plus 4 Z26WNS helicopters. Compared to the two earlier carriers it has an upgraded fire control system for it's SA-N-6A SAM system and a larger missile battery.

The Clones are working on a much larger carrier which could enter service sometime in the next decade though as yet nothing has been laid down.
