Carriers - Earn some Erb, Name and Strength contest

[Austi_Scot]

Timeline for aircraft carrier service.
The Anunia Convention list the following as the standard strength Carrier.

Carrier = 1,000 - (non-nuclear powered AC capable of carrying 85 aircraft (NOT ALL ARE COMBAT)
Here is a list of Carriers, without the possible Anunia Strength.

I am announcing a contest to give each class a Shirerothian name and possible Anunia strength. Enter by suggesting a name and strength here for as many classes of Carriers as you like. There will be one winner for each class, paid 10 Erb per class. Once a name and stength is suggested others may vote for one of them for each class of Carriers.

Carriers and some information about each.
