Liberty-class Simple

The APNS Red March (CVN-14)

The Liberty-class is a class of nuclear-powered supercarriers in service in the American People's Navy. Almost the length of the British Illustrious-class supercarriers, the Liberty-class ships form the core of the UAPR's fleet and provide much of the APN's power projection.

The Liberty-class ships have a displacement of about 97,000 tons and carry an air wing composed of 88 fixed wing aircraft and helicopters.
