Rhein — Germany Tech Tree Tier IV Aircraft Carrier.

During the 1930s and 1940s, Germany developed several aviation-capable ship designs, including a small carrier specifically intended for serial production during wartime. Her design needed to be budget-friendly and suitable for mass production at civil shipyards. Given the ongoing war, it would have been possible to construct such a ship no earlier than 1944. German engineers envisioned a flight deck with a minimum length of 170 m and the implementation of catapults for takeoff.

Pros

High secondary battery efficiency
High AA defense efficiency
Fast torpedoes with below average damage and low arming distance available
Above average plane speed

Cons

AP only rockets and dive bombs available
Planes have a small HP pool
