Majestetisk Class Aircraft Carrier

The Majestetisk Class Aircraft Carriers were a class of light aircraft carriers laid down in the mid-1930s to serve in the Coastal and Ingonian Fleets alongside the Ringerike Class Coastal Defence Ships, within the so called "mini-battlegroups". They also functioned to provide experience in the construction and operation of carriers, in anticipation of a much more ambitious carrier program projected to begin in the 1940s. The embarked air wing consisted of a mixture of fighter and torpedo carrying aircraft/dive bombers with the ratio being adjusted multiple times over the carrier's service life. In order to expedite the design process and ease the construction process they were effectively adapted from a merchant hull design.
