The Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers are a trio of supercarriers that served in the American People's Navy from the early 1960s to the early 2010s. They were an incremental improvement on the Grear-class aircraft carriers. Three vessels were built, all in the 1960s, APNS Kitty Hawk (1961-2004), APNS New England (1961-2009), and APNS Saratoga (1962-2012). All are now decommissioned.

The Kitty Hawk-class is a stretched version of the Kitty Hawk class of OTL.
