The DCSS Patton is a starfighter carrier of the Delta Coalition of Worlds from the book Coalition:The Beginning.
She is 3000 meters in length, has 3 fighter launch bays, Four recovery bays, two of which are medium shuttle landing capable, and 75 external “hot pit” refuel/rearm pads at three locations on the upper hull which allow for refual and rearm faster, though more dangerous than full recovery and relaunch through the launch/recovery bays (5 minutes v 15 minutes per craft). For defense, it has 10 phalanx XV-S ship defense double turrets, and sandcasters. She carries 100 fighter craft, 4 light cargo shuttles, one medium cargo shuttle, 10 ship defense fighters, and 5 medium bombers. Patton is jump capable with twin jump pods amidship and for sublight travel/maneuvering, has twin Burnham Technologies fused Ion KT2401-T propulsion units, capable of driving Patton to .91 of light speed
