Overview
Built to replace the aging Hampson-Class carriers of the 1920s, the sleek Convoy-Class carriers were a true force for almost a decade. Each carrier was built with speed and control in mind. When the Convoy was launched in 1931, she was among the fastest and best handling ships in the world.

This position was held until the release of Diesel Powered carriers in the mid 30s. Soon, the Convoy-Class was outdated and too slow for combat. Replaced by the Valsar-Class, the Convoys saw action until 1945 when the remaining two ships, the Scath and Conscore were both retired. The M.I.S Conscore was later sold to a forgien nation where it served a long glorious career until it sunk in 1975 after being struck by 4 Exocet missiles.
