Airship
About Airships and their classes:
Airships are broken down into various classes and rates based on their layouts, sizes, armor, armament, and disposition. The classes are Dreadnought, Cruiser, Light-Cruiser, Destroyers, and Frigates. There are also special purpose airship’s that fit in one or more category so they get their own class as well, an example is a Battleship, Carrier, or a Heavy Transport. A Battleship is similar to a dreadnought in armor and armament but also has systems to support other ships in comb at through direct action or indirect fire bombardment, it maintains a faster speed than a dreadnought to accomplish this. A Carrier is a heavy ship meant to carry smaller airframes inside it, it has less armor than a dreadnought and closer armored to a Cruiser, with half the weapons, it uses its on-board aircraft as force projection. The Alexander is a carrier class airship.
Another class of airship is the Heavy Transport, designed to ferry its cargo of infantry or other assets to an area where they are most dangerous for an enemy force, the ship is heavily armored like a dreadnought, but armored less than a cruiser, its mission is to protect its cargo and place that cargo where it will inflict maximum damage to enemy forces. Dreadnought is the all-around pinnacle of airship design and power, it’s designed for the sole purpose of generating combat power. It has thick armor that shrugs off most attacks and smaller weapons, and is difficult to penetrate. Its firepower is unmatched by any other class airship; due to its enormous size it is capable of carrying the heaviest and largest of airship weapons. This sort of ship normally serves as the flagship of an entire countries’ fleets. An example of a Dreadnought Class ship is the Leviathan.
Cruiser are heavy ships well suited for combat; they have heavy armor and contain a greater armament than light cruisers. They have many cannons in their arsenal, they are faster than a dreadnought, but slower than a light cruiser. These airships are capable of independent action, however they excel in any grouping of friendly ships. The skyship Ifrit is a Cruiser Class airship.
Light Cruisers are less designed for sustained battles and more of a way to project power quickly, when sending heavier ships would be impossible. While lightly armored and armored, the light cruisers greatest strength is its speed, it can enter and leave engagements like no other class ship can, not capable of independent action, and typically not the flagship of a fleet the light, the light cruiser still can pack a punch in groupings, sending several ships will accomplish many things. Most nation’s air forces use this class as their element they build their force around, except for nation’s with larger more developed air forces, who base their combat projection by the Dreadnought. The airship Carlplace is a light cruiser.
Destroyers ships smaller than a cruiser, not capable of independent action. This element is typically seen in navy’s.
Frigates ships smaller than a Destroyer, not capable of independent action. This element is typically seen in navy’s.
