Notes |
The Queen Naomi class is a ship class of two Landing Helicopter Dock/Aircraft Carrier Ships with arresting wires to give it a carrier Capability, built for the Royal Kuthern Navy. With a new climate for growing Kuthernburg Navy spending, a desire existed for forward defense capability for landing and supporting troops on overseas territory. The Kuthern design was selected in 2007, with Pitchmouth responsible for construction of the ships from the keel to the flight deck, and kAE Systems handling the fabrication of the superstructure and fitting out.
Construction of the first ship, RKS Queen Naomi , commenced in late 2008, with the hull launched in early 2011, and sea trials in early 2014. Queen Naomi was commissioned in November 2014. Work on the second vessel, RKS Queen Naomi II, started in early 2010. Queen Naomi II was commissioned in December 2015.
The ships are home-ported at Fleet Base East in Luthernburg and will regularly operate out of Kuthern Gronmund Port , the location of Kavarack Barracks, home of the Kuthern Army's 3rd Brigade.
