- Command Class Aircraft Carrier -

# Ship version
(No more ideas for marks, sorry)

As the Crown class battleships of the Monarch Empire were being built, with the two first ships of the class already finished, the Imperial Monarch Navy noticed the need of focusing more on the aircraft capabilities of their military force and to do so, two of the Crown class battleships were converted into carriers and also the research for a class of aircraft carriers started... The result was the Command class of aircraft carriers, with only one ship ever built, the Command, which was designated to operate from the mainland of the Monarch Empire.

The armaments of the developed class of the Monarch Empire consisted of 14 twin mounts of 13 cm dual-purpose guns places seven on each side, four quadruple mounts of prototype "Flaker" 65 mm AA guns and 18 triple mounts of 50 mm AA auto-guns. The aircraft capabilities were noticeably good, with 205 aircraft, usually being 90 Avalance-X bombers, similar Avro Vulcan, but with smaller wings, better engines and lighter armor, carrying large amounts of bombs while having a top speed of 967 km/h; 67 Knightwing mark F. jets, similar to the FGA.6 but with swept-back wings, four 20 mm guns on the wings and powerful engines, allowing to carry 790 kg of weapon reach top speeds of 1035 km/h, the only problem being the fuel capacity for only one hour even with added fuel tanks; 40 Cutlasses 4, torpedo bombers based on the Blackburn Firebrand, but with the maximum speed of 498 km/h when loaded and very poor protection, allowing it to have two 15 mm guns, four 20 mm guns and either a 533 mm torpedo or two 250 kg bombs; and eight Tribal VII experimental jets similar in design to the Blackburn Buccaneer, having 970 km/h when loaded with 3000 kg of payload, also having very good armor and 50 mm guns, but the bad turning doesn't allow the aircraft to attack others effectively. The class also has an armored deck of 55 mm and a hull protected by 148 -210 mm thick armor. Even with all this weight in armor, aircraft and weapons, the class was capable of reaching top speeds of 29 knots.

The Imperial Monarch Navy thought this could be their largest carrier built during the war, so they asked Amanda Hayes to give a unique appearance scheme, so the ship would receive it after the war and be registered forever in the Imperial Monarch Navy history. Looking over it, Amanda proposed that the superstructure of the ship was changed to look more similar to the architecture of the Westminster palace, adding behind the conning tower what seemed to be a clock tower with the Monarch Empire flag on a mast locate on the top of it. She suggested that, meanwhile, the sides of the flight deck had a railing and some light poles, similar to the ones in the bridge near Big Ben. The freeboard of the ship would be painted with an optical illusion, that makes you believe you can pass under it with a small boat and also makes the ship looks literally like the bridge near Big Ben. On each collum of the bridge painted on the freeboard and on each light pole, a Monarch Empire flag would be hanged as well. She also suggested a lion statue to be placed in the bridge, so people close to the ship could see the lion guiding the ship to victory.

# Human version

Command is a rather tall shipboy of the Monarch Empire, losing only for the contingency ships, more specifically, he's around 2.3 meters tall. His short hair is in a messy hairstyle and has the color of sky blue, accompanied by his pair of eyes that have the color sea-blue while his body in conquered by very pale skin with multiple scars that are usually hidden under the military uniform of vice-admiral of the Imperial Monarch Navy, but with gold and silver trimming accompanying it and a few medals on the chest. He also wears a pair of boots.

Out on the seas, the Command has his flight deck divided into two halves, each one attached to robotic arms that can move and use the flight decks as shields to protect him from damages. He uses a rifle to send his planes on the sky and some of his AA guns are attached to it while his dual-purpose guns are scattered on the upper part of his body, the area from the shoulders to his waist more specifically. Lastly, his 65 mm gun are placed on his arms while the rest of the AA guns are placed on his abdomen and chest. 

Once he was built he was taken to talk directly with the emperor of the Monarch Empire, almost immediately and this little visit would influence way too much on his personality. Many people would say he acts and looks like a military commander, but when you get to know him, he's actually a shipboy who shows to be calm, relaxed and kind in his free time. Another influence of the emperor was his hate against the Rome Empire, which only got stronger when heard about the submarine attacks to the convoys of the Eagle Empire coming to resupply the Monarch Empire and he shows his hate by showing no mercy when fighting but don't be fooled, he cares about the others of the Monarch Empire and would sacrifice to save their lives. Indeed, he already saved Crown and almost died that day defending the Monarch Empire. This also justifies the many scars he has on his body.
