Galactic Command: Carrier Designs

As for the carriers, I figured I'd use the most common design in use as of 2515, the Python class Heavy Carrier.

I was using the USS Nimitz [CVN-68] as sort of an inspiration from my DVD cover for "The Final Countdown," so the COMCON tower may reflect that (starboard aft of the ship). I'm planning on using the BSG idea of launch tubes for sending the fighters out, but the landing will be on topside, which explains the windows I've placed in the COMCON tower. The pic I have here will be updated once I've come anywhere close to completing the design.

The ship I'll be using as an example will be the lead of the Fifth Marauder Fleet, G.C.N.V. Iowa [CVH-105771].

The text on the ship will NOT be added until texturing is completed.
