The massive fleet carrier VF-11 was produced to provide support for the vast numbers of fighters that fleet tactics require. The size and design of the VF-11 call for an independent refueling tanker, the TV-11. The technological development of the VF-1 l into the VF-12 also called for a similar tanker, but rather than design a new vessel, the TV-11 was used without change.

The VS-13/-15 series is a new line of carriers designed independent of the VF-11 /-I 2 series.

The higher-tech trend is to smaller carriers. The VL-15 light carrier and the even smaller VP-15 pocket carrier are examples of this trend.
