Anyways, here it is:<br /><br />This class was inspired by the Al-Burak class carrier, a non-canon ship. <a href="http://www.starfleet-museum.org/alburak.htm" target="_blank">http://www.starfleet-museum.org/alburak.htm</a><br /><br />Class: Nimitz<br />Type: Carrier<br />Number of nacelles: Two<br />Size: Large<br />Weapons: Type IX or X phasers with two torpedo launchers<br />Defense: Regenerative hull hugging shields and once again, batmobile armor. It's logical that at some point, all Feddie ships would have batmobile armor.<br />Warp:<br />Cruising - 7.8<br />Max - 9.8 for twelve hours<br /><br />Backstory: Starfleet realized during the Dominion War that Akira's were inadequate carriers for fighter wings. So, they looked into the possiblity of either refitting an existing class to carriers or building a brand new class. Designers tried modifying the designs of Ambassadors, Constellations, Niagras and Mirandas. None of these worked too well, as the variants would be very expensive to refit. So, designers, after several months came up with a design for a ship.<br /><br />The Nimitz, named in honor of the famous 20th century carriers, is about 600+ meters, with a thick Constellation style saucer section. The saucer holds the launch bays for the fighters. The ship also contains a pod, similar to the New Orleans or Nebula that hangs from the bottom. This pod contains quarters and other things. No idea how many Peregrines it can hold.<br /><br />Names:<br />Doolittle<br />Yorktown<br />Nimitz<br />MacArthur<br />Essex<br />Hornet<br /><br />My comment: Akiras apparently are supposed to be carriers, besides being torpedo ships of doom. I figured that Starfleet would, at some point, want a ship class dedicated completely to being a carrier. I also had a nice mental image of refitted Soyuz's flying close to the Nimitz, acting as escorts. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />If someone would create a drawing or a render in their free time, that would be great.
