Epiphany-class Submersible aviation cruiser

The Epiphany is a large nuclear submarine, and the only ship of its class. The submarine carries a wide variety of weapons designed for surface and aquatic targets. It features a long runway and landing strip to support the internally carried fighter craft
== Design ==
=== Vessel ===
The Epiphany is designed with a Trimaran shaped hull, in which the primary hull that contains the runway on top and many systems beneath it, with two smaller hulls at the stern that house its powerful armament.
In the center hull, there are two large nuclear reactors that power the entire vessel. The Epiphany also features the ability to generate oxygen through electrolysis while underwater, allowing the crew to survive without forcing the submarine to the surface. The submarine also features a distillation system onboard to produce fresh water for equipment cooling and use by the crew. 
=== Armament ===
The Epiphany features powerful weapon mounts on both auxiliary hulls. There are 48 VLS launchers on each auxiliary hull, with a total of 96 VLS launchers for various short range and long range support. The VLS launchers are also capable of launching SLUAVs to aid in surveillance, Rail cannon targeting, and aerial defense.
The Epiphany also carries 2 Electromagnetic Railguns, one in each auxiliary hull. Each railgun has a fire rate of roughly 60 rounds per minute. The sabot used by the Railguns are 200mm APCRGS (Armor Piercing Composite Rigid Guided Shell) or HEASG (High Explosive Anti-ship Guided Shell) shells. The railguns are the primary armament against other surface going vessels while the submarine is unsubmerged, along with its VLS silos.
Along with the VLS, EM Railguns, and CIWS / RAM mounted along the primary hull, the Epiphany also carriers a 600mm/128 Caliber Rail cannon built into the flight deck. The Rail cannon can be used for precision strikes aided by SLUAVs launched to achieve ranges similar to that of MRBM or IRBM range. The Rail cannon can launch warheads that are typically placed in missiles, and serves as a stealth option, but requires the submarine to surface. 
The Epiphany has 2 separate Electronic Countermeasure systems built into the top of the submarine for protection. 
=== Aircraft ===
The Epiphany carries anywhere from 25-30 Aircraft beneath it's runway deck. These aircraft are typically launched whilst the submarine is surfaced, and are the primary armament at longer ranges. Some of the more notable aircraft compliments are: 
* 28 XH-93 Morningstars
* 22 ADF-02 Morgans
* 30 F-43 Rapiers
* 26 X-A-1 Prismas
