ENV Vaugne was an aircraft carrier built and operated by the Emrian Navy, she was the second ship of her class, which included aircraft carrier ENV Prague. She was built at Puerto de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain; She was laid down on 7 July 1941 and launched on 1943. Completed on 3 November 1944, she was armed with a main battery of 8 E/55 20 cm guns on single turrets and a battery of 9 Hotchkiss M1959 12.7mm guns.
On June 1947, ENV Vaugne along with multiple other fleet carriers took part in the Siege of Tripoli and the invasion of Khoms in October 1947. The following month on December 1947, she and multiple escorts and battleships took part in the defense of Boughrara Gulf or also known as Operation Noble, here she took heavy fire from RAICN Futile, forcing her to retreat and return to the friendly port of Barcelona for repairs, around 550 kilometers from Barcelona, she was rejoined by battleships ENV Viseu and ENV Nassau along with several other battlecruisers. Around 330km away from Barcelona at Cape San Antonio, she and her escorts encountered a large RAICN patrol fleet, with a light rain setting in, Nassau and Viseu opened fire on the RAICN Fleet sinking battlecruisers RAICN Ruthlessness, RAICN Avalon, RAICN PoggingPenis22, and RAICN Force. After trading heavy fire with RAICN Tripoli, Nassau sank after a large ammo rack explosion, with heavy rain set, ENV Vaugne, her escorts, and Viseu attempted to retreat and escape battleship RAICN Tripoli and her escorts, though due to Vaugne's damaged engine from the battle at Boughrara Gulf, she lagged behind and was spotted by a bomber squadron. She managed to shoot down 4 bombers with 1 bomb managing to hit her, leading to an ammo rack explosion, leading to her sinking and allowing Viseu and several other battlecruisers to escape by stalling Tripoli and her escorts. Out of 1,527 crew, only 136 survived.
