The aircraft carrier is the most versatile ship on the sea's, capable of carrying out a wide variety of missions from interdiction to assault with its embarked Carrier Air Wing. The problem with an aircraft carrier though is that in a naval battle it is the primary target of an attacking force, and due to its size is a relatively easy to see and hit target. Utilizing advanced stealth design and stealth systems the Asuka II Stealth Carrier is capable of reducing its sensor profile to almost nothing in all but the worst situations. This allows the carrier to get its Air Wing of fighters closer to the enemy than other Aircraft Carriers.
Due to its experimental status the Asuka II Carrier is being used as a test bed for the VF-0 Variable Fighter, fielding some 36 VF-0's which are under going sea-tests with their variable systems, and conventional engines
