NOTES
1.) The ship is capable of maneuvering at these YPR ratings. Turns will be crisp at these speeds with ramscoops open... If ramscoops are closed, say 50 percent, the ship will only be able to move 7.5/12.5/25 (roll is unaffected, if anything, it would be slightly improved)-- half it's normal pitch and yaw rates because beyond that, the ship would skid. At higher speeds, G-loads would be so hard they'd damage the ship and splatter everyone on board. In otherwords, not recommended
2.) The Enterprise-Class is fitted with a modified Phase-Transit Cannon. Previous PTC cannons were volatile and had continual problems with them. This design is far more stable and does not possess such problems.
3.) Diagonal Torpedo Tube arrangement was set up to enable multiple axes to be covered without having to use so many torpedo tubes. One torpedo can fire sideways, or upwards. Torpedos can be given laser-lock communication commands, or pre-programmed to turn to a given heading after launch.
4.) There are two sets of shields and armor on the Enterprise Class...
-Main: This is the standard shield and armor ratings
-Systems: Covers individual systems
5.) Engines: Engines have shielding on them to protect them from a torpedo impact...
6.) Bridge: I think you all know this, but I'm referring to the Conning Tower. As many of you are aware, the Captain is not usually on the bridge during GQ or Battle-stations. He/She is in the CIC with the Battle-Group Commander
7.) Hangar Bay: That's the flight-decks. There are two on the Enterprise-Class, one starboard, and one port. They are fly-through type hangars. Shields cover the hangars when they are not being used, and are only disengaged when receiving fighters.
8.) Fighter Launch Tubes: Like the Midway, the Enterprise-Class possesses launch tubes. They can accomodate even a Broadsword. There are 4-tubes on this class of ship.
9.) Outer Turret: There is a phase-shield which covers the turrets when they are not firing. This is to protect them from damage which might occur otherwise.
10.) Inner Turret: A non-phase shield which covers the turrets WHILE they are firing. These only cover energy-weapons (AMG's, and Heavy-Photon Guns) which can be modulated to bypass the shield of the firing ship.
11.) Engine Armor: Two readings are given. The nozzle and main engine area, which is 4,500 cm, and the blast doors... There are three blast doors, which can be erected in front of the engines once the engines have been shut down. The doors armor ratings individually are 1,400 cm (outer door), 1,400 cm (middle door), and 1,500 cm (inner door). All doors can be blown free by explosive charge should they jam.
12.) Hangar Bay: Each hangar bay has 3 sets of doors which cover the flight deck. Their protection is the same as the engine arrangement. They can cover the entry and exits to the flight-deck. The doors can be raised up in 3 seconds. In an emergency, the doors can be blown free.
13.) The Fighter-Launch Tubes also have a door to cover the exits of the tube... this is to prevent anything from getting in.
14.) Point-defense turrets are roughly the same size as those used on fighters. They're slightly larger because they have heavier armor and are twin-turreted.
FINAL NOTE: You probably wonder why I've listed all those speeds (for it's top speed, and cruise speed). Here's why.
WC ships travel extremely slow, but that's only when they're in combat, conserving fuel, or refuelling. When transiting across a system, they do it with their ramscoops-closed. They travel faster. It's not ramscoops open or closed either, there are variations-- at least on capships; Jason Bondarevsky gave the order for ramscoops to be 5 percent open when dashing. I used the 0-5-10-15-22-35-50 settings based on the flap-settings of a DC-10! Speed up, retract the flaps, then retract the slats. As you slow down, extend the slats, then the flaps. Except in this case it's "speed up, close the scoops/slow down, open the scoops". If you're at 5 percent R/S (ramscoops) open and moving at whatever the top speed for that is, the ship will be taking in as much fuel as it would as if it was moving at whatever the top speed is R/S full-open.

Even going against another carrier would be an issue if you put torps on a carrier. They're not meant to get in close and mix it up with the other big ships; they're too expensive. You instead let the little fighters do the job, or your smaller escorts. Cruisers, destroyers, frigates, corvettes... they're meant for anti-capship work. Your carrier's meant to be more of a base for her single-pilot craft.
