Design on the Nimitz class began in mid 2667 as a large fleet command carrier to finally choke the life out of the Kilrathi war effort and counter their advantage in carriers. When the false peace was signed in 2668, the design plans were scrapped. After hostilities were resumed, construction was to commence on one unit but was cancelled in favor of the cheaper and easier to build Vesuvius class design. The vessel boasts seven launch bays to limit damage to flight capabilities and has forty laser mounts to mount a formidible defense. Its massive length allowed for a large amount of stores to be carried and though rather slow with a top speed of 100 kps, the ship was heavily armoured to repel attack, though its shields only have the equivalent strength of the Lexington class. Its offensive weapons include three AMG turrets and half a dozen torpedo tubes. Details on its statistics can be found in the following attachment. I am modelling the carrier design as we speak and it should be ready by next week.
