The Archer-class supercarriers are a line of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in service with the USEC Navy, and are the largest capital ships in the URF. These ships are numbered with consecutive hull numbers starting with CVN 01. The letters "CVN" denote the type of ship: CV is the hull classification symbol for Aircraft Carriers and N is the hull classification symbol for Nuclear-powered ships. The number after the "CVN" means that this is the 1st "CV", or aircraft carrier.
