Okay, here's the refit. It's faster and has more cargo, at the expense of comfort, crew redundance, and vehicle capacity. Also, I fixed an error - I hadn't noticed previously, but with 3 flight decks the ship isn't ALLOWED to have a turret (even one this big), so now the Arrows are fixed.
As a response to Oafman from the first version thread, yeah, it'd be easy to have a battle on this thing - it's huge. 9 hexes long and 3 wide for a total of 27, it's also 6 levels deep (3 tall/3 submerged when surfaced)... And considering the 72 vehicles (not counting aircraft) that the second version carries, it could cause a great deal of trouble.
Edit - When I fixed the AIVs and turret, I forgot to remove the turret armor and structure from tonnage/cost/BV calcs.

==Overview:==
After the original Leviathan-class Supercarrier was created, it was generally received with a luke-warm attitude by most military personnel. Among the numerous concerns raised were its speed, lack of weapons, lack of cargo, and lack of fuel for vehicles. The original design team, quite proud of their design, strove to prove their critics wrong - and embarked on an ambitious refit of the prototype.
==Capabilities:==
The Mk.II refit made a number of changes. The original had once been dubbed a "cruise liner" or a "pleasure cruise" by high-ranking SLDF officers, and upon more objective consideration, the design team had to admit this was true. To counteract this, they made a number of changes in an effort to make it more combat effective. The first and most drastic change - from the point of view of the crew - was the removal of around a third of the quarters. Changing from a pre-assigned sleeping arrangement to a hot-bunking arrangement, they managed to keep three full duty shifts on board while saving thousands of tons in the living accomodations. Next, they ripped out a full half of the vehicle bays, leaving 36 each for hover/VTOL and naval support units. Lastly, they tore out the experimental turret for the Arrow IVs, which had caused a large number of problems at the best of times.
With the incredible tonnage freed up by these changes, the first thing they did was replace the engine. Officers and respected engineers had been concerned that it couldn't escape from any adversary who caught it, so its top speed was almost tripled - from 32 kph to 86 kph. Next, since the turret had been removed, a number more Arrow-IV launchers were installed, for a total of 20 spread around the perimeter of the ship. A commensurate ammunition space increase was included. A 1,000-ton fuel tank (properly shielded, insulated, and compartmentalized, of course) was installed near the stern to refuel parasites. Lastly, the cargo was drastically expanded - in fact, almost doubled. With the reduced crew size, increased food storage, increased spare parts storage, and fuel bunkerage, the Leviathan's endurance and independance was vastly increased.
==Battle History:==
The Leviathan has never been in actual combat, having been forgotten in the mists of time. However, as a support vehicle and not a front-line battle unit, combat which directly involves the Leviathan would probably result in the destruction of the unit.
==Notable Vehicles & Crew:==
The SLDFS Leviathan is the only unit of this class every created, and so is notable to that extent. However, after the Exodus fall of the Star League, the plans were lost and the original base lost to external contact. Noone currently knows the extent to which the project's information - and the Leviathan herself - still exist.
