Clone Navy to build new generation of carriers... one day
With two Cloneworld class aircraft carriers in service (a third is due to enter service in 2119), plans have been made for the next generation of larger carriers. The Clone Navy did have a follow-on class in development though cancelled it due to the Clone Star Empire budget problems in the earlier part of the decade.
Admiral Anderson, the head of the CDF, has announced the launch of a new project for carriers twice the size of the Cloneworld class. The new carriers would have a much larger aircraft complement. However he didn't reveal when these carriers would be built apart from a vague "sometime in the next decade".

NS to return to nautical terms for ship types
The New Sparta Space Fleet is to return to using traditional naval terms for it's different types of spaceship. This is due to confusion and a blurring of the distinctions especially between the heavier combat orientated Fleet Combat Ship and Medium Combat Ship.
The combat fleet will consist of the following types:
Bombers (no change from existing class for strategic attack ships)
Carriers (no change from existing class)
Cruisers (Fleet Combat Ships: Type 35, Mulberry and Solaris)
Destroyers (Medium Combat Ships, Isometric, TS and Corkscrew)
Frigates (Lighter MCS, Rome, Mariner, Protector)
Corvettes (Smaller ships including Falcon)
Patrol Boats (Smallest combat ships)
No date has yet been given for the change though will be rolled out before the end of the year.
