Welcome back to Channel 7N news on your network. Today's top story, the launch of the Caperica, the first of the line of new Caperica-Class Aircraft Carriers. The launch was attended by three top representatives of the North American Alliance, Govener General of Canada Daniel Main, the President of Mexico Johan Malakai, and of course President Highman of the United States, as well as many additional political and military dignitaries from each nation. President Highman himself gave a speech in honor of the occasion, in which he declared that this newest class of Aircraft carrier would stand as a grand message to the world that they would not be intimidated by the recent military aggressions of several African nations, nor the recent closing of Russian borders, before breaking a bottle of champagne across the bow of the massive carrier.

Although some details about the Caperica are still classified by the NAA, what we do know is that it is intended to be a full replacement for the aging Ford class of carriers. Although the Caperica class carries less aircraft, the reorientation of combat doctrine in recent years has caused it to be much more heavily armored and capable of sustaining heavier enemy action than any previous carrier. In addition, the Caperica actually contains onboard production facilities capable of assembling aircraft in a combat zone for immediate deployment, something that will give it an immediate advantage in a combat situation.

With concerns of a worldwide conflagration of war at an all time high, NAA command has already put in a staggering order for no less then twenty-six Caperica class Carriers within the next year, and a full hundred and fourteen are expected to be in service within the next three years. This process however may be accelerated by the decommission and scrapping of both the Ford and Nimitz line of carriers. According to NAA officials, the improved construction design of the Caperica class combined with the scrap yielded by salvaging the Nimitz and Ford classes should easily allow them to meet their goal of no less then a staggering three hundred Caperica carriers within five years.

When asked by journalist about the leaked Pentagon documents concerning a supposed class of Super-Carrier called Sagittarius, neither President Highman nor NAA military officials had any comment.
