As of 2667.175 there are supposed to be only 7 fleet carriers. First of all, does that number include only operational carriers, or is the Austerlitz included in that figure?
Fleet carriers that entered service before that date and are known to have been operational after it: Ark Royal, Austerlitz, Concordia, Liberty, Winterrowd*
Fleet carriers present for the Battle of Terra: Lexington, Leyte Gulf, Moskva, Saratoga, Verdun
Fleet carriers in Priv/WC3: Armageddon*, Hermes, Invincible, Kennedy*, Liberty, Lincoln*, Valiant*
The ships I have marked with * are indicated by some sources (Encyclopedia/Fleet Tactics) to be fleet carriers but, as far as I can recall, could be any type of warship. The encyclopedia notes the Winterrowd, Armageddon, Kennedy, and Lincoln as Concordia class but I was wondering what the basis for this is. Could not the Armageddon, Kennedy, and Lincoln be Gilgameshes like the Centurion? Also, how was the Valiant classified to be a destroyer (is dialog for all the Priv conversations online somewhere)? It would be helpful to have cited sources for each encyclopedia listing along with noting any speculation and associated rationale if applicable.
DISCLAIMER: My WC books are currently multiple states away, so I've been relying solely on online sources.
