Aircraft carrier (Generals)

Aircraft Carriers were used chiefly by the United States during the GLA War. These mighty vessels serve as a mobile seagoing airfields for Raptor fighter-bombers. Because Carriers lack the firepower of other warships, they are escorted by a number of other ships to provide protection and additional offensive capabilities.

History
Aircraft Carriers and navies in general did not play an important role in the first stages of the War as almost all engagements with the GLA occur inland. However, as the GLA expands their influence around the globe, the American Navy inevitably got involved. A Carrier Battle Group was present during the Battle of Mogadishu to provide vital air and bombardment support against GLA positions in the city and on nearby hills.

While the GLA lack a navy except for a few boats, it avenged its defeats by capturing a Particle Cannon and used it to sink the USS Ronald Reagan in the Battle of Crete.

Game Unit
The Aircraft Carrier cannot be build in the original un-modded game. The player can only control it in the second mission of the Generals expansion pack Zero Hour.
