In that year, the ''Kitty Hawk''-class ''[[Enterprise (Individual Kitty Hawk-class WarShip)|Enterprise]]'' was one of only two operable carrier WarShips remaining in the [[Federated Suns]],<ref>''En Passant'', p. 147</ref> and it remains unclear if the other carrier was of the same class. (Said other carrier may have been the ''[[Edward Davion (Vessel)|Edward Davion]]'' which was mentioned alongside the ''Enterprise'', but the wording is unclear.) It has since been established in canon that the ''[[New Syrtis (WarShip class)|New Syrtis]]''-class carrier WarShip ''[[Pleiades (Individual New Syrtis-class WarShip)|Pleiades]]'' remained in service until the [[Second Succession War]] which lasted from [[2830]] to [[2864]]. The ''New Syrtis'' class carrier WarShip seems to functionally replace the ''Kitty Hawk'' class in canon. ==Capabilities== The exact size of the ''Kitty Hawk'' class and most of its technical data remains unknown. The ''[[Farragut]]'' class was mentioned as the largest WarShip outside of the [[SLDF]], suggesting in turn that the ''Kitty Hawk'' class must be smaller than the ''Farragut'''s 1,680,000 tons while at the same time implying that while the ''Farragut'' class outmasses and outguns the ''Kitty Hawk'' class, they are not far apart and that the ''Kitty Hawk'' class is considered at least as powerful as a heavy cruiser.<ref>''En Passant'', p. 292</ref> The ''Kitty Hawk'' class carried two entire aerospace groups, vastly outnumbering the three squadrons carried by a standard ''Farragut''. ==Canonicity== The ''Kitty Hawk'' class and the only known ship of this class, the ''Enterprise'', only appear in the German-only novel ''[[En Passant (novel)|En Passant]]''. As a foreign-language product, this novel is not currently counted among the [[canonical]] [[BattleTech]] sources anymore despite an earlier ruling by then-[[Line Developer]] [[Randall Bills]] declaring the German novels fully canonical. It is an official BattleTech product though, and as such should be regarded as [[apocryphal]]. By extension, information from this source&mdash;in this case, the ''Kitty Hawk'' class&mdash;must be considered apocryphal as well. ==See Also== * [[:Category:Individual Kitty Hawk-class WarShips]] ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== *''[[En Passant (novel)]]'' [[Category:WarShip classes]] [[Category:Carrier WarShip classes]] [[Category:Federated Suns WarShip classes]]
