Supply Carrier
The idea is simple, new space force needs carriers, but has no carriers. So take the biggest thing, a supply ship, and chop it up into bits, find some engines, bolt them on back, use the cargo containers as ad hoc flight tubes/individual hangars, and weld some shit on the front and hope it looks right. Then bolt some(read: too many) point defense cannons to the hull, and add a "Bridge". Oh, and run electrical and internal supply lines, as well as ammunition and life support through what was previously a mostly depressurized vessel(oh, and reinforce structures to take 1 ATM of pressure), and you're done! One escort carrier for about 150% of the effort of making one from scratch, but, only 20% of the cost.
This current version only holds 6 Kingfisher class fighters, but with modification to the cargo containers each can hold two, and more substantial modification to the structure of the ship, you can hold about 20.
