I'm just pasting this from a forum post so I don't forget:

Spirit, do we have a Bengal class strike carrier? Or, actually, when were they made? EDIT: Doh! Of course! The Tiger's Claw is a Bengal. Wikipedia wrote: Bengal-class strike carrier The (fictional) Bengal-class Strike Carrier is a starship in the Wing Commander universe. The Bengal-class entered service in 26191. The first operational Flight IIA Bengal, TCS Tiger's Claw, was commissioned in 26442. The Bengal-class was a fast, heavily armored and surprisingly well armed carrier with twelve launch tubes, two small side-mounted bays and a single forward bay for launch and recovery of spacecraft. Its air wing of 1042 fighters was not as large as the later Confederation-class, but was well stocked was combat planes of all types, and its launch tubes enabled it to make a flush scramble in twelve minutes. The Bengal carried a crew of 600, including a 50-man marine complement. Typical Bengal-class Fighter Wing 8/2655: (Example Shown: 88th FW, TCS Tiger's Claw)

  • 14 F-36 Hornet light fighters (Yellowjacket Squadron)
  • 14 F-36 Hornet light fighters (Killer Bee Squadron)
  • 14 F-44 Rapier II medium fighters (Black Lion Squadron)
  • 14 F-44 Rapier II medium fighters (Screamin' Shepards Squadron)
  • 14 F-44 Rapier II medium fighters (Blue Angel Squadron)
  • 14 A-14D Raptor heavy fighters (Star Slayer Squadron)
  • 04 F-54 Epee light fighters (Mixed)
  • 04 F-57 Sabre heavy fighters (Mixed)
  • 04 A-17C Broadsword heavy bombers(Mixed)
  • 04 Interceptors (Mixed)
  • 02 CF-337d Troopship
  • 02 Shuttles

And the wikipedia has a list of Bengal class: Quote:

  • TCS Beacontree
  • TCS Bengal
  • TCS Eagle's Talon
  • TCS Exeter (lost 2654)
  • TCS Kipling6
  • TCS Kyoto
  • TCS Tiger's Claw CV-07 (lost 2656)
  • TCS Trafalgar (lost 2654) 7
  • TCS Wolfhound 8

Okay, Exeter, Tiger's Claw and Trafalgar lost... Hmmmm.... That leaves TCS Bengal (no mention in encyclopaedia) TCS Eagle's Talon TCS Kipling (no mention in encyclopaedia) TCS Kyoto "The TCS Kyoto assisted the TCS Tiger's Claw while in the Venice system in 2654." TCS Wolfhound "The TCS Wolfhound was the sistership of the Tiger's Claw. It was the flagship of the main battle task force, under the command of Admiral Banbridge, during the raid on Vukar Tag."

Allright. TCS Kyoto it is. Now I need to find a suitable commander, and then an escort carrier to go with it...
