Bougainville Submersible Carrier
« on: 15 September 2013, 14:02:01 »
This here is the Bougainville Submersible Escort Carrier.  It's really a Block III rebuild of the Bon
Homme escort carrier, but I felt the differences between the two were enough to warrant a new
class name.  It has the speed and armor of the Bon Homme II, but has only half the fuel and
carrying capacity for planes.  Recommended aircraft complement is about 23, if you are using
25-ton fighters, or 20 for 30-ton fighters.  Armament is different in that it consists of 18 heavy
rifles and 24 machine guns.

Making this submersible means it is more expensive than the previous models, but there are some arguments in favor of that, so there you go.

No fish? I want Sushi-rolls* for those underwater crits! A sub has to have torpedos to defend underwater.
