Originally proposed as an aircraft carrier, the Vivantia Class Logistic Support Vessel (LSV), is a proposed design entering service with the Shirerithian Support Services as an auxiliary vessel capable of carrying passengers and cargo or of ferrying up to 28 light aircraft or helicopters.
Navy refusal
In 1639 the directors of the ESB owned Boat Yards of Amity, concerned that no new orders had been placed by the Imperial Navy since the completion of the Poltroon Class Submarine programme, approached the Ministry of Military Affairs with a proposal that proposed building a fleet of 50 small carriers in less than two years.
The proposal was forwarded to the Board of Admiralty for evaluation. Although the proposal was judged to be technically feasible - the slow speed, short flight deck and second rate armaments package outlined in the design resulted in the proposal being rejected outright.
Undeterred, the directors turned to the Chairman of the ESB, Thorgils Tarjeisson, who was also the Minister of Military Affairs and lobbied for a second chance. Sufficiently mindful, as MoMA, of the perils of fobbing himself off with inferior pieces of equipment, Thorgils did however envisage the need for a platform capable of delivering supplies into a hostile or underdeveloped environment. Accordingly, after prevailing upon the directors to pay for a months worth of hospitality for his retinue and camp followers encamped before Azeroth, Thorgils authorised the commencement of a programme to give the Shirerithian Supplies Service an auxiliary fleet.
