I mentioned the TR Fleet Carriers in the "Hand of God" series, but since they were not involved in the Arak 4 Incident, nothing more was added about them until now. Pictured are the 'Andrews' and the 'Newvinksi' leaving space dock to join their task forces. The Halsey-class Fleet Carrier is approximately twice the size of the present US Navy Nimitiz-class supercarriers. It has a crew of 8,000, carries 150 fighters, bombers, and miscellaneous support craft, mounts four batteries of eight-inch guided projectile weapons as main guns as well as another 20 five-inch batteries and 10 high speed gatling batteries, and four torpedo/missile tubes (two fore and two aft). The Halseys can transport up to four Havoc-class destroyers or similar-sized transport vessels on her main deck using docking hardpoints, but can not carry any escorts internally. The Halsey is a design based on old seafaring technology that was translated to space ops when humanity went to the stars. I'm (literally) working on a render that does a size comparison between the Hand of God- and Halsey-class vessels. I'll post it tomorrow. Thx for looking and commenting! Side note: After almost four months, the job drought is temporarily over for me. I landed a two month contracting gig helping a company (and their existing Tech Pubs group) get through a product release (we'll see if it turns into anything longer). So no more sleeping into noon for the next couple of months--yeah, right, like I was... ;')
