	Hermes
		Hermes was designed to take three astronauts to orbits of up to 800 km altitude on missions of 30 to 90 days in space.
		Hermes was to have been launched atop an Ariane 5 by 1998, but by 1992 estimated development costs rose to DM 12 billion and the project was cancelled.
		Hermes would have provided independent European manned access to space, and the weight growth of the spacecraft during design and development was a major driver in the specification for the Ariane 5 space launcher.

	Aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An aircraft carrier is a warship whose main role is to deploy and recover aircraft—in effect acting as a sea-going airbase.
		Modern aircraft carriers have a flat-top deck, the flight deck that serves as a take-off and landing area for aircraft.
		By the late 1930s, aircraft carriers around the world typically carried three types of aircraft: torpedo bombers, also used for conventional bombings and reconnaissance; dive bombers, also used for reconnaissance (in the U.S. Navy, this type of aircraft were known as "scout bombers"); and fighters for fleet defence and bomber escort duties.

		Then the carriers were to close with the vessel, still firing the particle beams, and finish the ship off with concentrated SLBM barrages.
		These cannons were spread across the carrier's hull with one mounted on the central aft ventral, two on the aft ventral flanks, and two on the forward dorsal surface astride the bridge section.

	Ex Astris Scientia - The Antares Class(es)
		All the various alien Antares class ships (2.) are completely different designs, since Starfleet wouldn't share their technology, however old, with whoever requires a cargo ship, let alone with enemies like the Talarians.
		The alien Antares class might be anything else, probably a generic term like in theory A. This solution is favored by those who don't trust in Okuda's possibly arbitrary numbering and classifying of ships in the Encyclopedia.
		It is only possible to maintain theory C if the alien Antares is a spin-off class of Starfleet which, for some reason, was named in honor of the destroyed Starfleet ship and, for some reason, became a generic term for other ships of the size.

		The serviceability of its only other aircraft carrier, the ageing INS Viraat, is also unlikely to extend beyond 2010, and even this was made possible by a major life-extension refit conducted in 1999.
		While an extra aircraft carrier would help to maintain a somewhat stronger presence on both the eastern and western seaboards, India’s massive naval ambitions are hardly going to be fulfilled by the addition of the Gorshkov alone.
		With India’s sole remaining aircraft carrier, Hermes class aircraft carrier Viraat, due for decommissioning in 2010, India was left with little choice other than Gorshkov if it wished to retain any sort of an aircraft carrier capability.

		Considering that it was originally commissioned in the British Royal Navy as HMS Hermes as far back as in 1959 and joined the Indian Navy in 1987, that will be quite a remarkable feat.
		India is hoping to have a second carrier in their fleet by 2009.
