The Stingfish-class light carrier is a patrol vessel which can carry a squadron of fighters. It is designed to deliver a squadron of fighters to remote areas that don't require larger ships, but do need some presence. An alternate deployment is when it backs up government-service Broadswords and perform light escort duties on light-ship (ships under 2000 tons) convoys. A ship of this class can, briefly and with the help of its squadron, stand up to ships of up to 5000 tons, although this is undesirable.

Nice design. I like the way that you included facilities intended to allow long-duration operations.

I think those is an alternative Random Castle. But I'll compare.
