Subcraft Carriers are vessels designed to carry subcraft, whether small ones designated smallcraft, or larger ones designated bigcraft.

• Carriers and Tenders form the mission category: Subcraft Carriers.
• The most common types are Carriers and Tenders. Carriers carry smallcraft fighters and tenders carry bigcraft battle riders.
• Commercial or civilian tenders tend to be called Ship Transporters among other terms.
• Subcraft Carriers are used to describe paramilitary and military craft. Equivalent civilian or commercial craft are generally called Transports
• The Supraclass designation is also known as Ship Mission, Ship Mission Code, Mission, or Ship Hull Designation.
• It is a starship supraclass.

Description (Specifications)

Subcraft Carriers are important and might one day disrupt the dominance of big gun battleships as they once did in the navies of maritime Terra, reversing the trend again. They transport a variety of smallcraft and bigcraft to the battlefield, where they perform combat support missions attacking skirmisher secondaries, disrupting missile flights, and decreasing the effectiveness of big gun battle wagons. As technology progresses, better miniaturized antishipping weaponry may lead to the fall of those same big gun battle wagons.

• Various battle rider and jump tender strategies have already begun to innovate and experiment with a carrier strong future.
• The "V" classification code is a holdover from pre-spaceflight (and pre-Anglic) Terran naval history. When wet-navy ships were first used as floating bases for aircraft, said ships were classified as "aViation" (from English, with the same meaning as in Anglic) or "Voler" (from French for "to fly") by some of their larger navies at the time.
• Arguably it could now be used for "Vessel" (as in "carries other Vessels") or "Void" (since the system of a carrier and its smallcraft, when deployed, extends through the space between them). However, most naval officers in charge of classification who have expressed an opinion on this have preferred to cite historical precedent as justification.

Strategy & Tactics (Doctrine)

Subcraft Carriers are not intended to enagage in direct ship-to-ship combat with the forward line of warships. rather they deploy their subcraft as combat multipliers meant to help the heavy spinal mount warships deploy in the most advantageous positions and they are meant to disrupt the maneuver of the enemy's fleet combat elements.

Supraclass Archetypal Roles

These vessels typically serve the following archetypal roles:

V-class Subcraft Carrier Supraclass Archetypes
Archetype	Type Code	Exemplar	Remarks
Subcraft Carrier	V (namesake)	Lurenti class Battle Carrier	V-class vessels represent a school of thought using larger vessels to deploy smaller ones, or subcraft. The Subcraft Carrier supraclass includes both carriers and tenders. Carriers carry smallcraft fighters and tenders carry bigcraft battle riders. V = Vehicle Carrier, aViation or voler, etc. Voler is a Terran French word meaning "to fly."
Assault Carrier	VA	Wind class Strike Carrier	Assault Carriers specialize in planetary assault using their fighters to conduct round-the-clock surface bombardment missions and then shuttling down troop transports and armored fighting vehicles. A = Assault, Attack, Strike, etc. VA-14: These Carriers carry assault landers and other craft whose missions are focused on ground assault mission, rather then fighters. These vessels usually carry large numbers of troops. VS-13/-15: The VS-13/-15 series is a new line of carriers designed independent of the VF-11/-12 series.
Battle Carrier	VB	Wind class Strike Carrier	Battle Carrier: Interstellar ship transport intended to carry fighters into combat. Generally a dispersed structure (...of up to one million tons), it transports a squadron of a number of fighters ready for immediate launch upon entry into a system. While the fighters press the attack, the battle carrier stays in reserve for protection. B = Battle, Combat, Far, Fast, Frontier, etc.
Command Carrier	VC	War Child class Command Carrier	Command Carriers perform flagship roles, coordinating large numbers of fighters. courier vessels, scout vessels, and line combatants, as the center of a battle fleet. This role is ordinarily taken by a fleet's premier battleships. C = Command
Defense Carrier	VD	No exemplar yet available.	Defense Carriers are a specialized form of carriers that forward deploy fighters in similar roles to SDBs. The use of defense carriers can strategically deny fleets access to gas giants or other fuel sources and thus deny enemy battle battle fleets strategic mobility and flexibility. D = Defense
Escort Carrier	VE	Hyperion class Escort Carrier	Escort Carriers or Very Light Carriers displace between 100 to 2,499 tons in size. While not very useful for larger fleet formations, they are great in an escort role, putting out a sensor picket, protecting against other fighters, or for strikes against lightly defended targets. They can also be built relatively quickly, staffed quickly, and quickly deploy into action. Many fleets operate escort carriers because of their usefulness within their identified roles. E = Escort, Very Light Carrier, etc.
Fleet Carrier	VF	Antiama class Fleet Carrier	Fleet Carriers are built to operate as part of a fleet, not independently. Their subcraft provide tactical and strategic support to a line a battlefleet a CruRon or a BatRon. Their fighters provide sensor pickets, an expanded sensor net, either in a tactical or strategic sense, provide missile shields intercepting enemy munitions, or provide strike assets damaging enemy capital ships. They are dependent on other capital ships and auxiliary elements such as tankers or combat support ships. F = Fleet, Combat Support, Strategic, etc. VF-11: The massive VF-11 was produced to provide support for the vast numbers of fighters that fleet tactics required. The size and design of the VF-11 call for an independent refueling tanker, the TV-11. VF-12: The technological development of the VF-11 into the VF-12 also called for a similar tanker, but rather than design a new vessel, the TV-11 was used without change.
Heavy Carrier	VH	Midway class Heavy Carrier	A Heavy Carrier is a size-displacement category which includes vessels that weigh between 250,000 to 499,999 tons. Heavies are very large craft, as big as many cruisers and battleships and capable of carrying a large, powerful load of subcraft, enough fighters to seriously threaten most battle fleets. H = Heavy VH-13: Very large carrier designed to serve as a force flagship, carrying a large suite of defensive weaponry. Due to its size, cost, and complexity, they were not considered effective units. The smaller carriers are favored due to cost effectiveness and tactical flexibility.
Light Carrier	VL	Skimkish class Light Carrier	A Light Carrier is a size-displacement category which includes vessels that weigh between 2,500 to 99,999 tons. Light vessels can be impressive craft, just under 100k in tonnage, which is more than large enough to threaten merchant vessels, smaller system defense fleets, and many lesser targets including smaller world-states. L = Light VL-15: The higher-tech trend is to smaller carriers. The VL-15 light carrier
Medium Carrier	VM	Antiama class Fleet Carrier	A Medium Carrier is a size-displacement category which includes vessels that weigh between 100,000 to 199,999 tons. Medium vessels are large vessels, cruiser-sized, and are general considered capital ships, serious combatants. They require serious resources, logistical support, and large crews, but they project power across interstellar distances when used correctly in ways that no escort or destroyer can match. M = Medium
Pocket Carrier	VP	Horror class Strike Carrier	A Pocket Carrier is a size-displacement category which includes vessels that weigh between 200,000 to 249,999 tons. P = Pocket VP-15: Even smaller than the light carriers is the VP-15 pocket carrier continuing the higher-tech trend to smaller, more inexpensive vessels.
Superheavy Carrier	VS	Mordax class Fleet Carrier	A Superheavy Carrier is a size-displacement category which includes vessels that weigh between 500,000 to 999,999 tons. Superheavies are incredibly large vessels, bigger than the resources of the typical pocket empire or world-state can construct. They take years to build, requiring huge costs, massive expenditures of resources, and massive crews. They are rarely available in other than very small runs, but they have massive combat power. S = Superheavy
Tender	VT (Namesake)	World class Battle Tender	Tenders carry bigcraft, which is to say subcraft that are 100 tons or larger in displacement. These subcraft are significantly larger, more powerful, and longer-legged than the smallcraft fighters carried by traditional carriers. This gives significantly more strategic options than a fighter-equipped carrier, but not always better striking power within a fighter's range envelope. The Battle Rider is the prototypical bigcraft carried by Battle Tenders and entire schools of naval strategy have arisen concerning their usage and deployment. T = Tender, Military Ship Transporter, Battle Tender, etc.
Ultraheavy Carrier	VU	Kliqrv class Battle Carrier	A Ultraheavy Carrier is a size-displacement category which includes vessels that weigh 1,000,000 or more tons. Ultraheavies are not for the thrifty... Only the largest of supra-polities can afford them, and they are almost always specialized for very specific roles, typically as flag ships for the largest fleets. U = Ultraheavy
Commercial Tender & Ship Transporter	TV	Mariner class Frame Carrier	Ship Transporters or commercial tenders are similar to carriers and tenders, but instead of military subcraft, they carry civilian subcraft. The concept is similar to the battle rider concept, except in a civilian application. The class also includes various kinds of jump ships or jump trains, specialized to carry variable cargos, or as jump shuttles. T = Transport V = Vehicle Carrier, Subcraft Carrier, Jump ConVeyance, Jump Shuttles, Ship Transporter, etc.
NOTES: There is semantic overlap between many of the classes and codes. Some codes organize by mission or capability, others by size and tonnage, and yet others by other characteristics.

History & Background (Dossier)

Carriers: Carriers are designed to carry large numbers of small combat craft, which in turn attack the enemy’s combatants or world surfaces.

• Carriers remain a strong element of fleet battle groups to this day, deploying subcraft in roles that enhance the effectiveness of the forward line of battle.
