Seeing as I'm making a game with lots of Cold-War era vehicles in it anyway, I saw this and thought I might as well enter with one of the ships I've already drawn - the RDN Kite. See below for the lore.
The ships are the RDN Kite; a fictional Khan-class aircraft carrier, launched during the mid-40s in my game's universe. During the 70s, it oversaw an extensive modernisation program which gave it an angled deck and 2 catapults. At the time of the game (1995), the Kite, now known as CV-K1, is pretty much obsolete, outclassed by the much larger and more modern Monarch class carriers. The first appearance of the Kite in-game will take place in the second mission of the game, in which you will have to escort the Kite and one of the Monarch class carriers out of port. The Kite will turn up repeatedly throughout the game as your squadron's home carrier, and the flagship of a friendly fleet.
