The Victorious-class aircraft carrier is a fictional version of the Stealth Trimaran Aircraft Carrier (STAC) developed by AvPro and proposed to the Ministry of Defence (UK) for the CVF program.
I imagined that the STAC might be built as a follow-on aircraft carrier class for the Queen Elizabeth-class.
I named the class Victorious so that Cam might have another ship to add to her vessel lineage for U.S.S. Vanguard after the HMS Vanguard (S28) is decommissioned.
