On the advice of General K, one of the Prince Orlando-class Battelcruisers was converted into a Light Aircraft Carrier while under construction. Smaller than the Canidan Mount Yakutat class, the Mount Athos class has two units - the Mount Athos being converted from the planned 4th Battlecruiser, and the Mount Olympus built intentionally. The shorter and thinner Vulpine carriers have a smaller aircraft compliment, but can add additional units with deck parking. Working in tandem, the two units can maintain a mission pace faster than one carrier alone. Unique to the Vulpine carriers is the mounting of the superstructure and smoke stacks on the side of the hull, so the flight and hangar decks are completely uninterrupted.

Prince Orlando-Class
CLASS NAME:	Royal Sovereign/Prince Orlando	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Prince Orlando (BC-01), Duke of Attica (BC-02), Duke of Thrace (BC-03) [One unit converted while under construction]
SHIP TYPE:	Battlecruiser	ENGINES:	24 Cegielski HPWT Steam Boilers, 4 Porsche Geared Turbines	SCREWS:	4	SPEED:	31kts

Thin and almost spritely, the Prince Orlando-class Battlecruisers share the basic hull shape of the Thuringria-class battleships, but with more room for engines, better engines, and a refined layout. The thinner hull and redesigned lower bottom allows it to achieve speeds on par with heavier Scout Cruisers. With its 10-inch guns, it has enough striking power to take down any Cruiser-weight opponent, and with its relatively high speed, the ability to run away from any Battleship-weight one, if its high velocity 10-inch AP shells can't pierce its hide. Like the Canidan 5-inch guns, the Vulpine 5-inch guns can be used for AAA as well as anti-ship. For ease of production, its machine guns are Polelish UKM-1 11mm's, despite Vulpesylvania producing its own 11mm heavy machine gun.

Arcadia-Class
CLASS NAME:	Prefecture/Arcadia	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Arcadia (CL-01), Argolis (CL-02), Larisa (CL-03), Salonica (CL-04), Pella (CL-05), Evros (CL-06)

Vulpesylvania decided on a VERY light "Light Cruiser" for their fleet. Depending entirely on rapid fire and high shell output to inflict damage, the 5" (127mm) guns can also function as anti-aircraft weapons, thus preparing for the use of Aircraft of some kind, by enemy forces. With 20 available guns, the "weight of shell" for the cruisers is immense, though their total range is rather short, at just 16km. By comparison, the 10" (254mm) guns of the Battlecruisers have a range of 32km.

The torpedo boats of the Vulpine fleet, the Athens class destroyers can put out 12 torpedoes in rapid succession, and a blistering 10 barrels of 5-inch gunfire to boot. Very fast as far as Destroyer-sized vessels go, they dovetail nicely into the torpedo striking forces of the NEIGHTO fleet, and act as spoilers to an enemy battle line, with their fast and deep strikes, while the Cruisers line up for gun battles.

The Mount Athos-class carriers were modernized slightly, and the flight deck and hangar were expanded. As a result, the ship can now carry three total squadrons of aircraft - two of Strike-Fighters and one of Scouts. As with the other ships of the fleet, a bow extenson was added for sonar. With the issues the Vulpesylvanians had with Polelish PIZ-1 and PIZ-2 aircraft fitting properly on the vessels, they purchased ME-101 and ME-105 aircraft from Germaneigh instead. This increased the ability of the Carriers, and turned them into Light Aircraft Carriers. The purchased PIZ aircraft were re-issued to the Air Force.

A serious upgrade to the AAA suite is accompanied by a massive upgrade to the main guns, so the ships can overmatch Tirek battleships. Scout planes give the ship some reach and eyes beyond the horizon. Given their superior floating ability, they have a longer loiter time in the field, and can be used for artillery spotting. Roaman 57mm AAA guns were purchased to suppliment the existing 25mm guns.

The light cruisers (and all other 5-inch gun in the fleet) were upgraded with Equestrian-made barrels, and adapted breech blocks, so the single-piece ammunition used by Equestria could be fired from them, increasing rate of fire. A scout plane was added, though the Launches stayed, and additional AAA weaponry was mounted as well. Three additional units were already under construction and simply completed to these updated lines. A new bow extension was added, to mount Sonar, increasing the length to 132 meters.

Slick like the foxes that pilot them, the upgraded engines increase the maneuverability of the vessels, and tighten the turning radius by 11.5% from before. Perfected, six more units were constructed along these updated lines. Like the Light Cruisers, the Destroyers use Roaman-purchased Double Reduction Geared Turbines.
