Sirindhorn Class Aircraft Carrier
I apologize for how dark this came out; I accidentally changed the radiosity setting. I'm rendering another, fixed image that will be up later tonight which is linked in the first comment below! :D
After a lot of pondering, and a slight konk on the head, the usual Kentese engineers were commissioned by the War Ministry of the Royal Court to create an escort carrier to supplement the Kingdom's need for more naval aircraft. Unfortunately, many of them were unaware that almost all of the top engineers had already taken on the secret task of working on a "Project Naga," something only three people in all of Terra are known tof know the details of. So instead, a different set of engineers were contracted.
Now, you may be wondering why the Sirindhorn is so big if its only an escort carrier. Well, the Ministry wondered the same thing. So the preliminary design was reclassified as a regular carrier and was sent back for revision and further improvisation optimization.
The Sirindhorn sports two large hydraulic lifts, twenty AA guns mounted throughout, a port side light ship-ship gun, two radar domes totally not ripped from the Chulalongkorn, nope, two front mounted torpedo things for 'anti crossing-the-t maneuvers,' AKA, 'if this ship is going down, all of you guys are going down with it,' a giant wok for cooking Pad Thai, and five side mounted smoke stacks. It is of note, however, that the AA gun mounted behind the superstructure would be replaced with a hydraulic crane for lifting float planes out of the water.
