Khitai Ying Dzao Carrier

The Khitai Principality's Ying Dzao carrier, designed alongside the Bai Ying cruiser to be a dedicated fighter-carrier for the small nation's fleet. Each of the large 'shoulder' structures holds hangar bays and maintenance facilities for a full squadron of twelve Cây Giùi (Stiletto) fighters. Four launch tubes per hangar allow for the squadrons to be deployed quickly, while the after recovery decks can each handle two fighters at a time. 

The Ying Dzao does not carry heavy anti-shipping weapons, the fusion blasters entirely deleted in favor of additional graser and point-defense turrets. Typically the carrier would also be escorted by a pair of destroyers, or a destroyer and a pair of frigates, and hang back from the main battle line while the remaining cruisers and destroyers engage the enemy directly.
