History
"..."

-...

Flugzeugträger A — later christened Graf Zeppelin — was the culmination of the efforts mustered by the Aselian Armed Forces to produce a native aircraft carrier to field in their reborn navy. The endeavor started in 1933 V.C., when the Aselian Navy first seriously considered building a carrier; due to the circumstances Aselia found herself in following Hawke War, there was a notable gap between her naval aviation capabilities and those of other navies. The project was further made difficult as aircraft technologies were rapidly shifting during the 1930s, and because — more inherently — the Aselian Navy did not have any carrier doctrine to speak of. The Aselian Luftwaffe — a contributor to this joint venture — was also unenthusiastic, as they did not have any planes to spare for the Navy, nor did they have experienced pilots in naval aviation. Regardless, by 1934 V.C. the Aselian Navy drafted the first designs and handed them over to Deutsche-Werke AG to finalize plans and begin construction.
