	''Kyoshi'' is part of the main battle squadron of the Earth Navy's [[Earth Navy#Home Fleet\|Home Fleet]], which is responsible for naval operations in the [[Central Sea\|Central]] and [[Southern Sea\|Southern]] Seas. Because ''Kyoshi'' lacks offensive weaponry for ship-to-ship combat, it is typically escorted by a {{wp\|carrier battle group}}.

'''ENS ''Kyoshi'' (CV-1)''' is a [[stoneclad]] {{wp|aircraft carrier}} in service with the [[Earth Navy]] that serves as the {{wp|flagship}} of the [[Earth Navy#Home Fleet|Home Fleet]]. Commissioned in 2021, the ship is the first aircraft-carrying vessel in the world and one of two such craft in existence (with the battlecruiser [[ENS Freeport Bay|ENS ''Freeport Bay'']]).

Commissioned in February 2021, ''Kyoshi'' has served with the Earth Navy in every one of the nation's military operations, performing ground attack missions during the [[Unification of the Earth Kingdom]] and the [[Mexican War]]. As the only dedicated aircraft carrier in the world, ''Kyoshi'' projects the Earth Kingdom's military power beyond its borders, serves as a mobile airbase to extend the range of the Earth Navy's aviation forces, and brings long-range air-to-ship capabilities to the Earth Kingdom's naval forces.

''Kyoshi'' carries a complement of six [[F-1 Bosco|F-1/NG Bosco Naval Interdictor]] multirole combat aircraft, which possess anti-air, anti-ship and ground attack capabilities. The ship also has an array of 14 rapid-fire anti-aircraft cannons for air defence, but otherwise has no ship-to-ship weaponry such as torpedoes. ''Kyoshi'' rather relies on its {{wp|carrier battle group}} of 1-3 [[Omashu-class destroyer|''Omashu''-class destroyers]] and [[Standard-class ship#Viceroy-class frigate|''Viceroy''-class frigates]] to engage in short-range combat with other surface vessels. Weighing in with a full load at 6,522 blocks, ''Kyoshi'' is the largest seagoing craft in the world.

== Development ==

The potential for a ship capable of launching and retrieving [[airskiff|airskiffs]] was realized early in the history of shipbuilding, with [[Vidcom]] suggesting the concept and working on the development of a practical design. The first steps towards the construction of an aircraft carrier were initiated by [[Cassland]], which laid down the keel of a ship intended to carry airskiffs in December 2020 at [[Port Cass]] with technical assistance from Vidcom. While a wooden hull was completed by January 2021, the lack of practical armed airskiff designs, difficulties in developing a functional launch/retrieval mechanism, and a lack of political interest conspired to ensure that the unnamed vessel never successfully implemented aircraft-carrying capabilities. The project was ultimately cancelled and the incomplete hull of the ship was eventually sold to the [[Free Territory]], where it was broken up for scrap.

However, the Casslandian project attracted the attention of Earth King [[Ainin]], who announced in December 2020 that the Earth Kingdom intended to successfully develop and build an armoured aircraft-carrying warship. Work advanced quickly on an armed airskiff design, culminating in the successful January 2021 test of the [[F-1 Bosco#Variants|XF-1 Airskiff]] in the mountains to the north of the [[Air Nation]]. After the development of a practical armed airskiff, Earth Kingdom engineers created a piston-driven aircraft launch mechanism that would allow airskiffs to operate from ships. Shortly after, the Earth King authorized the construction of an aircraft carrier, which was built in record time at the Grand Arsenal of the Earth Navy at [[Fort Kyoshi]].

As a [[stoneclad]], the ship was built with a belt of stone armour and an armoured flight deck to deflect the impact of explosive weapons. Six [[F-1 Bosco|F-1/N Bosco Naval Interdictors]] were built along with the ship to serve as its air complement. ''Kyoshi'' was completed on 13 February 2021 and undertook its maiden voyage that same week, calling at ports in the [[Mancomunitat de les Parròquies Occidentals|AAPC]], [[Cassland]], the [[Free Territory]] and the [[Water Tribe]].

On 3 July 2021, after performance issues in combat, the six F-1/N fighters of the ''Kyoshi'' were upgraded to the F-1/NG standard.

== Operational history ==

In February 2021, ''Kyoshi'' undertook a solo maiden cruise of ports in the Western, Central and Southern Seas to enhance goodwill and demonstrate the nascent naval abilities of the Earth Kingdom.

On 3 July 2021, ''Kyoshi'' undertook its first operational deployment when it sailed to the [[Bay of Ice]] in the northwest of the Earth Kingdom to launch airstrikes against [[Acacian League]] positions during the [[Unification of the Earth Kingdom]]. Three F-1/N fighters from ''Kyoshi'' [[Battle of the Northern Road|struck]] an Acacian fortification blocking the road to [[Omashu]] in support of a ground offensive by [[Earth Army]] heavy cavalry. One F-1/N fighter crashed on the deck while returning from the mission due to pilot error and poor ammunition handling practices, but was later repaired and brought back into service. The deck was modified the same month to prevent a reoccurrence of the accident.

After returning from the Bay of Ice, ''Kyoshi'' was posted off the western coast of [[Fryslân]] to maintain an Earth Kingdom military presence, protect [[Grand Canal]] shipping, and prevent a spillover of the [[Frisian Civil War]].

Upon the outbreak of the [[Mexican War]] on 19 July 2021, the ship was recalled from its post and deployed to [[Freeport]] to respond to a possible sortie of Mexican ships through the [[Northern Canal]]. During the major coalition offensive against Mexico on 31 July 2021, aircraft from ''Kyoshi'' flew in support of Earth Kingdom and Free Territory operations. Three F-1/NGs operating from the carrier struck the Mexican fort in Freeport Bay, clearing the way for [[Battle of Freeport Bay|an amphibious assault]] to seize the island. One F-1/NG was shot down by ground anti-air defences during the raid with the crew lost.

In September 2021, ''Kyoshi'' undertook a second goodwill tour around the region, visiting the AAPC and Cassland.

In January 2022, ''Kyoshi'' was deployed to Freeport Bay for a gunnery and flight drill near the mouth of the Northern Canal.

On 28 March 2022, in response to air combat near the Earth Kingdom's southern border with Fryslân during the [[Frisian War]], ''Kyoshi'' was deployed off the Grand Canal to provide air cover to Earth Kingdom border security forces.

== Carrier battle group ==

''Kyoshi'' is part of the main battle squadron of the Earth Navy's [[Earth Navy#Home Fleet|Home Fleet]], which is responsible for naval operations in the [[Central Sea|Central]] and [[Southern Sea|Southern]] Seas. Because ''Kyoshi'' lacks offensive weaponry for ship-to-ship combat, it is typically escorted by a {{wp|carrier battle group}}. The size and composition of the battle group varies based on operational requirements and expected risks, but typically includes 1-3 frigates and destroyers.

Two warships are officially assigned at all times to ''Kyoshi'' in a task force codenamed '''Task Force Prime'''. In wartime, the ships of the task force are expected to assemble and serve as the core of the aircraft carrier's battle group, with additional ships added and removed as dictated by necessity. As of 10 April 2022, the ships assigned to Task Force Prime are:

* [[ENS Gaoling|ENS ''Gaoling'']] (DD-3), an [[Omashu-class destroyer|''Omashu''-class destroyer]]
* [[ENS Viceroy|ENS ''Viceroy'']] (FF-1), a [[Viceroy-class frigate|''Viceroy''-class frigate]]

Two {{wp|naval aviation}} units are also assigned to ''Kyoshi'' and provide aircraft and aircrew for fighter operations. The squadrons both operate the [[F-1 Bosco|F-1/NG Bosco Naval Interdictor]], a {{wp|multirole combat aircraft}} that is capable of delivering torpedoes, anti-aircraft charges and bombs. The two squadrons are:

* No. 1 Naval (Fighter) Air Squadron (operating 3 F-1/NGs)
* No. 2 Naval (Fighter) Air Squadron (operating 3 F-1/NGs)
