5th|LNS-Enterprise
Class: Yorktown
Type: Fleet Carrier
Construction time: 822 - 824 A.S
CO: Captain Matthias Gardner
XO: Commander Keshawn Martin
Ship's Motto: Crown of the Fleet

Liberty Naval Ship LCV-6 "Enterprise" (ACY-02) is a Liberty Navy staple and the eighth Liberty Warship to be named such, and the seventh carrier-class vessel to bear the name. After the decommissioning of the seventh Enterprise (LAC-87), the order was given to construct a newer, more advanced warship based on the framework of the highly ambitious 'Yorktown'-class fleet carrier. Launched in late 824 A.S., LCV-6 began her career with the Liberty Navy's Third Fleet under the direct command of the fleet's admiralty. However, with the transfer of the fleet's status into a passive role, the Enterprise was reassigned to the Liberty Navy's Fifth Fleet, where she began passive modernization into a more active mobile fleet carrier acting on the front line.
The second of three 'Yorktown'-class carriers, Enterprise is the lighter of the three, her configuration focusing on fleet support and strikecraft deployment as opposed to raw firepower. While this does not mean she is incapable of defending herself, she is far more support focused than most other warships of her class.

5th|LNS-Hornet
Class: Yorktown
Type: Assault Carrier
Construction time: 824 - 825 A.S
CO: Fleet Admiral Sophia Cleveland
XO: --
Ship's motto: Victoria Per Perseverantium Venit

Construction began on the Hornet not long after the completion of Enterprise, completing the trio of 'Yorktown'-class carriers designed and built for the Navy during the progress of the Gallic war. With assault in mind much like her sister ship Yorktown, the Hornet became a heavy hitter once she was moved to the front, taking part in the defense of the New London system. She operates as the backbone of the offensive line for the defense, acting as the flagship and command station for the 5th Fleet's commanding officer.

5th|LNS-Yorktown
Class: Yorktown
Type: Assault Carrier
Construction time: 821 - 823 A.S
CO: Admiral Miles Prower
XO: Captain Mira Fox
Ship's motto: For One's Country

The lead ship of the 'Yorktown'-class, L.N.S. Yorktown is a step up in innovation for the Liberty Navy Engineering Corps. Designed with integrity in mind, as well as heavy firepower akin to her sister ship Hornet, the Yorktown was built for the sole purpose of matching and exceeding the performance of the Royal Navy's 'Valor'-class heavy dreadnought. The result of years of research and development within the confines of the Alaska system resulted in a heavy hitting prototype design that was far tougher than any other warship Liberty had ever constructed. Yorktown left the drydock in 823 A.S., but only recently left Alaska due to performance issues with her new armor plating and weaponry systems, an issue that only appeared to effect her and Hornet, as the Enterprise was designed for use as a Fleet Carrier.
She currently serves on the front line as the standing flagship of the 5th Fleet's Executive Officer.

5th|LNS-Essex
Class: Essex
Type: Assault Carrier
Construction time: 802 - 806 A.S
CO: Captain Rachel Mikai
XO: --
Ship's motto:

Lead ship of the somewhat outdated 'Essex'-class, Essex was commissioned in 806 A.S. as a peacetime defense vessel stationed in California to oppress the local pirate bands that had been known to rampage across the system's numerous undefended belts of trade lanes. A participant in the costly 'Battle of California Minor', the Essex served as a fleet support carrier for the Liberty Navy during the aftermath of the battle and the subsequent beginning of the Gallic invasion. The ship itself has had a fairly eventful service history, most recently with the liberation of the Bretonian capital from the anarchic forces of the Gallic Crown, and is currently stationed with the bulk of the Fifth Fleet's forward force as an assault platform and carrier for bomber and fighter wings operated by the Fifth Fleet.

5th|LNS-Esquimalt
Class: Atlantis
Type: Assault Carrier
Construction time: 819 - 823 A.S
CO: Captain Adam Watson III
XO: --
Ship's motto:

Esquimalt, a typical 'Atlantis'-class Assault Carrier, was commissioned in 823 A.S. as a ship of the secondary fleet out of Washington Shipyard. Serving under the secondary for the first two years of its service, the ship recently transitioned to the Fifth Fleet's realm of operation within the last year, and has since been operating as part of the detachable force, most notably on the front line. Her crew experienced from over three years of live combat against the Gallic invasion, Esquimalt serves the Fifth Fleet's arm as a support and assault carrier, depending on circumstances.

5th|LNS-Antietam
Class: Atlantis
Type: Assault Carrier
Construction time: 823 - 825 A.S
CO: Rear Admiral Grey Evans
XO: --
Ship's motto: Power to Prevail

Liberty 'Atlantis'-class carrier Anteitam is a recent addition to the Liberty Fifth Fleet, operating as a command vessel and heavy weapons platform. Debuting her abilities during Operation: Vanguard, the carrier is, by design, not built for carrier-specific operations, but instead as a heavy assault vessel, and has yet to show signs of disappointment.




5th|LNS-Kansas
Class: Overlord
Type: Dreadnought
Construction time: 814 - 817 A.S
CO: Various
XO: Various
Ship's motto: Strength and Diversity

Commissioned in 817 A.S. the Kansas was immediately ordered to the Rheinland front as part of a larger task force. Captain Mark Hammond the ship's original CO and the crew fought valiantly through the war in the New Hampshire, Hudson, Bering and Bremen systems until the ship was heavily damaged and disabled in the New Hampshire system in 822 A.S. Captain Hammond and most members of the senior staff died during the battle. The crew however managed to get the engines back online and made it back to safety. The ship then returned to Juneau shipyard where the ship was being repaired. In 823 A.S. the repairs were finished and the ship was transferred to the 5th fleet and the command was given to Captain John Armada and the ship was assigned to the Gallic front.

5th|LNS-Warspite
Class: Eagle (refit)
Type: Experimental Dreadnought
Construction time: 779 - 784 A.S
CO: Fleet Admiral Sophia Cleveland
XO: --
Ship's motto:

Liberty Dreadnought Warspite, commissioned into the Navy in 784 A.S., is a classic representation of an 'Eagle'-class design modified into a modern warfighter role. Originally the L.N.S. Massachusetts, she was later renamed to the Warspite to make way for a newer 'Overlord'-class warship named Massachusetts, but kept the proud lengthy legacy. Taking extensive part in the Liberty-Rheinland war, as well as notable action against the Gallic invasion prior to her transfer to 5th Fleet primary command, the ship is a decorated vessel and a very capable combatant on the battlefield. Recently refitted to compare to newer designs such as the 'Overlord'-class and the highly experimental 'Constitution'-class, the ship was outfitted with newer, more untested weaponry and armor designs uncommon for most Liberty warships in primary service. With her deployment to the front, however, she gives a very readily available testing window for these new designs.

5th|LNS-Florida
Class: Overlord-X
Type: Experimental Dreadnought
Construction time: 805 - 812 A.S
CO: Rear Admiral Grey Evans
XO: --
Ship's motto:

Battleship Florida, launched in 812 A.S., is a rather dated design of 'Overlord'-class warship designed for heavy assault and breaching flanks in the field of battle. Originally paved as a support warship due to power concerns, the decision was made during development to reanalyze the ship's wiring and electronics, hence the lengthened construction time. This rework of her electric systems, however, resulted in vastly superior power draw from her reactor, allowing for the operation of much heavier weapons and fielding a design that would translate into every single 'Overlord'-class warship that was built after. Florida serves the Fifth Fleet as a heavy assault and 'mauling' dreadnought, and was recently outfitted with newer weapons developed at Juneau R&D in Alaska.

5th|LNS-Odyssey
Class: Venture
Type: Dreadnought
Construction time: 796 - 797 A.S.
CO: Admiral John Sader
XO: Captain Franklin Drake
Ship's motto: Dynamis Ex Cardias

The Odyssey is the second Venture-class battleship constructed by the liberty navy and the last that is still on active duty. She was laid down by the liberty navy at Juneau Shipyard, Alaska on 8 January 796, and launched on 26 April 797. The commissioning ceremony was held on 31 August 798 at Norfolk Space Docks, New York and command was given to Captain Jack O’Neill. Odyssey was selected as the Shock Trial platform for the Venture-class. The ship was subjected to a series of close range explosions in order for the Navy to obtain critical information concerning the survivability of the Venture-class in a shock environment. The crew prepared the ship for the most demanding and complex ship shock trial test in the history of the Navy. After being commissioned she was ordered to patrol the Kepler and Galileo systems. She was ordered back to Norfolk shortly after the destruction of the R.N.C. Donau at Manhattan orbit. Shortly after arriving at the station however the crew noticed very strange things particularly O’Neill who’s direct superiors started missing. After ordering the XO to depart as soon as possible even if he is not aboard O’Neill went on shore leave. Eventually it turned out that the fears of the senior staff were right, and the Odyssey managed to escape Norfolk and later Liberty as well. After the forming of the organisation that was later nicknamed the fifth fleet, the ship took part in many operations against the nomad infested Liberty Navy. In 801 A.S. The ship led a surprise attack against the Alaska system to capture ships built aboard Juneau and to destroy a large portion of infected and nomad forces gathering in the system. The ship sustained heavy damage during the attack as it was a trap created to destroy the remaining loyalists. Barely escaping the battle and being the last vessel to leave the system. After the end of the “Nomad War”, she was ordered to return to Juneau for repairs. After repairs were completed she was assigned to patrol the Alaska and later Virginia systems where they remained for another decade.

As the tensions between Rheinland and Liberty slowly rose the Odyssey was called back to Juneau for her first major refit. She was upgraded with the newest technology available to the Navy. She was upgraded with better sensors, weapons and a Mk2 advanced cloaking device. After the war broke out she was assigned to the Texas front to fight against the Rheinlanders. As the Gallic Royal Navy attacked and occupied Leeds the Odyssey was once again reassigned and together with the rest of the newly formed 5th Fleet she fought against the Gaul invasion fleet for many years. On the 31 of march 822 she took part in Operation Royal Flush and helped destroy the R.N.S. Oubli and most of her fleet in Leeds. She also defended California against the Royal Navy counterattack in December the same year. In 823 the ship was once again ordered back to Juneau for repairs. And in late July she was almost ready for deployment. Unfortunately her commanding officer and leader of the fleet Admiral O’Neill died. Admiral John Sader was given command of her. In late 824 she received her last refit up until today. She was equipped with a Mk4 Jump Drive and the required sensor upgrades for it. On the 27 October she took part in Operation Into the Lion’s Den where her new jump drives were used to retreat from Vespucci after the operation was finished. On the 10th of March 825 she vanished without a trace while heading back to the Gallic frontline, yet has since returned to active duty once more.




5th|LNS-Wisconsin
Class: Overlord-X
Type: Experimental Dreadnought
Construction time: 823-824 A.S.
CO: Admiral Miles Prower
XO: Captain Mira Fox
Ship's motto: Forward For Freedom

The Wisconsin was commissioned in the mid-months of 824 A.S. after orders were given for Washington Shipyard to begin work on a new breed of 'Overlord'-class warships. Designed specifically for the Fifth Fleet using technology developed aboard Juneau, Wisconsin was slated to be equipped with newer experimental weaponry devised right in the labs in Alaska and transferred to the front line. Finished and moved out to the front, she has since been a monumental success, proving especially deadly to the Royal Navy's 'Obstinate'-class battlecruisers.

5th|LNS-Arkansas
Class: Eagle
Type: Defensive Dreadnought
Construction time: A.S
CO: Captain Katelynn Prescott
XO: Commander Arthur Cunningham
Ship's motto:

Arkansas (LBS-403) was commissioned on August 14th, 783 A.S. in Norfolk, New York as the first in the line of 'super-heavy dreadnoughts' designed for stuck-in defensive operations and garrisoning. Originally a staple of the Liberty Third Fleet, Arkansas served a very real role during the Liberty-Rheinland war where the ship was the cause of at least four confirmed Rheinland warship deaths. Earning a reputation for stubbornness, the ship was easily the highest decorated warship in her division prior to her transfer to the Fifth Fleet. today, she serves on the front line of the Gallic war in London, operating as a stuck-in defensive emplacement for the planet's defense.

5th|LNS-Omaha
Class: Georgia
Type: Artillery Dreadnought
Construction time: 748 - 753 A.S
CO: Vice Admiral Allen B. Bradley Jr.
XO: Captain Jasmine Tapp

5th|LNS-Baltimore
Class: Interdictor
Type: Assault Battlecruiser
Construction time: 818 A.S
CO: Various
XO: Various
Ship's motto: Fortune Favors Valor

Constructed in 818 A.S. the Baltimore was the 8th 'Interdictor'-class battlecruiser to leave Washington shipyard. The ship served under the command of Captain Max Fox during the Rheinland war being assigned to Battlegroup Juliet which was led by the Whitefield. As the Gallic royal navy invaded Leeds begun it's assault on the planet itself the 5th fleet returned to active service and shortly after that Captain Fox requested his transfer to the fleet. This however meant little changes since the Rheinland war was no over yet. After the Rheinland military disabled the jump gates leading to Hamburg, Captain Fox and his crew were transferred to the Magellan system to aid the Bretonians in Leeds and protect Freeport 4. The ship also took part in Operation Royal Flush where the liberty navy managed to take out Battleship Oubli making a huge loss for the royal navy and slowing their advance. The ship today continues to serve on the Gallic front.

5th|LNS-Columbia
Class: Interdictor
Type: Assault Battlecruiser
Construction time: 823 A.S
CO: Admiral Sophia Cleveland
XO: Various
Ship's motto: Strength in Freedom

Constructed at Washington Shipyard on the 24th November 823 A.S. LNS Russell is one of the several Interdictors with reinforced engines and a better powercore. The ship took part in several battles against the Hellfire Legion, Gallia, and pirates within the Libertonian borders. Thanks to its reinforced engines the ship is quite fast and maneuverable and never received more than moderate damage during battles. The LNS Russell acts as a quick response unit from Norfolk Shipyard. The ship is fast enough to reach the front within minutes, execute the enemy and disappear again with its experimental cloaking device.

5th|LNS-Marcus.Walker
Class: Interdictor
Type: Assault Battlecruiser
Construction time: A.S
CO: Varies

5th|LNS-San.Diego
Class: San Diego
Type: Siege Cruiser
Construction time: 823 A.S
CO: Various
XO: Various
Ship's motto: Return With honor

Officially commissioned in 824 A.S., the L.N.S. San Diego stands as a tribute to the lives lost when Gallia stormed California. Her namesake, San Diego Border Station, became the basis for the ship itself, granting her the first slot in the new class of warship altogether. A more reliably accurate forward gun, computer systems with automated tracking and VI coding to support a light level of automatic defences are just some of the features San Diego boasts to reap vengeance on the enemy that forced her name.



5th|LNS-Milwaukee
Class: Archer
Type: Siege Cruiser
Construction time: 821 A.S
CO: Various
XO: Various
Ship's motto: Freedom's Champion

Construction dated for late 821 A.S., the Milwaukee was originally slated to be one of the secondary fleet's lighter assets intended for combat against the Royal Navy's heavier and flatter assets, including the 'Valor'-class battleships and heavier permanent type installations. By order of her to-be CO Captain James Tremont, the Milwaukee was instead, near the end of her construction, transferred to the command of the Liberty Fifth Fleet, where her role would stand as a more prominent forward assault ship, staying true to her light origins. Notable features include a more advanced computer subsystem array, a more actively resistant, but also lighter, hull plating weave and tuning of her weapon's accuracy and optimization diagnostics. The ship is currently stationed in California to provide support against Gallic incursions into the system.
