"Large aircraft carrier."

― Mission Editor Description

The NFP Carrier is the main carrier of the enemy fleet. Unlike the allied aircraft carrier, the NFP Carrier is much larger, bearing a distinctive catamaran-like design with two hulls.

It can hold up to 10 ASF-30s and/or ASF-33s on its deck for takeoff. It has four fighter catapults, two for each hull. It also has a straight-on runway located between the two hulls, with an arrestor-bar-based landing system for allowing aircraft to land on the deck after being deployed. The NFP Carrier is also capable of supporting player spawns for the enemy faction in Multiplayer, similarly to the allied carrier.

The NFP Carrier is most notable for its strong close-in defenses. Having one CIWS turret at each corner of the ship, the carrier has a very strong defense against incoming AGMs or cruise missiles. It also has two heat-seeking missile turrets at the rear corners for added defense against incoming hostile fighters. The NFP Carrier has a search radar located on top of its hull, functioning similarly to the radar found on the AWACS.
