RVN Endurance (RVN-36)

The RVN Endurance is a sub-variant of the Vlarian Masterpiece-class Supercarrier operated by the Vlarian Navy. Endurance is the newest Vlarian supercarrier in active service, however her career is currently delayed as she was heavily damaged by missiles of unknown origin and is currently being repaired in Vlarian-occupied Norway.
She was originally to be a standard ship of the Masterpiece-class Supercarrier but the Vlarian Congress decided to experiment with her hull for future Vlarian designs. Thus, Endurance is a sub variant of the Masterpiece-class. 
She is the most advanced carrier in Vlarian service and also the only “armored” maritime carrier currently in service.
== Construction ==
=== Phase One ===
The construction of the Endurance began in 2035 with authorization from Vlarian Congress under the name of RVN-36 Endurance. She was constructed by Komodier Shipbuilding Industries, a reputable Vlarian shipbuilding company that built nearly all Vlarian ships currently in service. She was nearly completed and about to attend her christening but the Vlarian Congress decided to retrofit her for experimental Vlarian designs, especially reviving armor back to its ships. to mitigate missile after-effects. Her new retrofit included: 
* Armor to vital parts along with kevlar protection to the most vital areas
* New VLS cells for newer missiles (both anti-air and ground)
* Several more CIWS and RAM emplacements. 
* New catapult layout
* New deck design 
The refits were successfully added to the ship in mid-2037. 
=== Phase Two ===
The carrier after refit, was christened in mid-2037. the godmother of the ship, Anette Fidereich, threw a bottle of wine at the bowow of the ship, which didn't break the first time, which, according to naval tradition, indicates that bad luck will happen on the ship but and broke in the 2nd try. The ship was launched by flooding her drydock and was tugboated to be equipped with the newest Vlarian technologies near her dock. She was commissioned in late 2037 by the prime minister of the Vlarian Federation.
