Fighter Catapult Ship

The Lance Ship is a ship of the line class vessel whose function derives from its ability to launch aircraft from its deck mounted catapult. 
== Strategy ==
The Lance ship is typically kept at the back of a fleet in order to be protected from attacks which it is ill equipped to deal with. However, when visibility requires eyes in the sky it isn't uncommon to have the Lance ship in close formation with Ram ships to provide reconnaissance when necessary. 
== Launch procedure ==
The ship is designed to be able to stow its masts and deploy a catapult launched aircraft in less than 30 seconds. While anchoring isn't required to launch the aircraft, it is recommend to avoid capsizing the vessel, especially when the catapult turret is turned. 
While it is possible through tractor technology to guide the aircraft back to the line ship, aircraft usually land onto aircraft carriers rather than return to the line ship. 
== Armaments ==
Aircraft deployment turret, track and catapult.
Aircraft maintenance crew, tools and supplies.
Two forward and two rear mounted swivel cannons and shot.
Standard barrel storage.
Triple masts
Quadruple stabilizer anchors
Ballast system
== Craft ==
The lance ship can store any craft of reasonable size and even medium sized aircraft whose wings can be affixed during catapult deployment. The lance ship can accommodate the following crafts:
=== Aircraft ===
1-30 bomber
Adder
Harasser
B.I.R.D
Bonedragon (with wing affixing)
=== Groundcraft ===
AAV Tank
=== Watercraft ===
