Furious-class carrier

The Furious-class comprised twelve interplanetary assault carriers that served the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) Navy from 2218 to 2455. The Furious assault carriers replaced the Interplanetary War-era Fearless-class. Ten assault carriers were built between 2218 and 2239. Following the Naval Compromise of 2290, an additional pair of Furious-class assault carriers were ordered, modified to carry the new magnetic accelerator cannon; these carriers were unofficially called the Rochefort-class, but were otherwise equivalent to the first ten members of the Furious-class. 
Most of the Furious-class was decommissioned during and after the Inner Colony Wars as assault carriers became interstellar capable, such as the Gift of Wings-class and Maelstrom-class. Four remained in service until the 2440s and 2450s before being placed in reserve.
