Medium Carrier

An image of the one the earlier proposed designs of the Reprisal-class.

The Reprisal-class aircraft carriers were class of medium sized aircraft carriers replacing the remaining three People's Republic-class carriers in service in the American People's Navy in the early 1980s. Two were also constructed for the Mexican Navy in the mid-1990s as well. The Korean Navy is currently building a heavily modernized variant of the Reprisal-class named after the three kingdoms of Korea.

The Reprisal-class is obviously a highly modified version of the Medium Carrier design proposed in the 1970s as a cheaper alternative to the Nimitz-class in OTL. Here it serves as replacement for the few remaining medium fleet carriers in the APN.
