This ship idea is based on one of Michael McCollums Antares Novels. The Attack Carroer. An Attack Carrier isn'T a carrier for fighters, but for a far more deadlier payload. It is a large refitted Transport ship loaded flat with missiles and Nuclear Warheads. The Purpose of an Attack Carrier is to overwhelm the computers of PDF systems, simply by the mere number of projectiles fired. Since a missile is small, its range is limited.
I based the ship on the Carrack class, but gave it a reinforced structure so it can mount some armor. Transport capacity was reduced to mount a total of 108 White Shark Missile Launchers which can also fire the Santa Ana Nuclear Missile. A Backup with some Naval Lasers, some Anti Fighter and AMS guns are also included.
I let you guys decide how you would use such a ship ;)
