The **Feuerbergadler-class Aircraft Carrier** was a class of heavy aircraft carriers designed and built for the Imperial Navy of Auwalt in the 1940s - the first unit, *SIM Feuerbergadler*, was commissioned in 1942. They were the follow-up on the Waldschatten-class Aircraft Carriers.

The vessels of the Feuerbergadler-class were named in honour of avian species endemic to Auwalt (and Teressien). While originally, only four units were planned, the Imperial Navy ended up building 12 units due to the requirements of the Great War of Aranna. They were updated in 1950s to carry jet aircraft (in the 1960s, the Imperial Navy received four Gleitvogel-class Aircraft Carriers) and another time in the 1970s into landing helicopter docks. In that function, they served until the 1993.
