Escort carrier is what I had in mind. Definitely not a dominant, fleet leading craft. Thanks!

At 15k displacement, she's not going to carry a huge number of fighters. Actually sounds like something akin to the escort carriers of WW II, so 50 subordinate craft sounds about right.

Hey guys,

I'm designing a light carrier with modest performance (15,000 tons, TL-12, J-2, 1G). What's a reasonable expectation for sub-craft capacity? I started with 50 medium fighters (20 tons), but comparing it to those listed in a book and BARD, I'm thinking that I'm low-balling it.

What do you guys think?
