Space: Above and Beyond UNSC Ships

I had previously posted pictures of the UNSC John F. Kennedy class supercarrier from Space: Above and Beyond (S:AAB). I thought it was a great looking, utilitarian ship capturing the no-nonsense approach of the military. Near the end of the series, we got to see clips of the UNSC escort ships. The only models of the UN ships that existed were of the JFK supercarriers. No models existed of the smaller escort ships. This is my attempt to correct that deficiency. In the top right is the JFK class supercarrier. In the bottom are my interpretation of three of the escorts that were seen in the TV show. The other two ships are what I view as second generation "advanced" ships. Basically ships that were developed after the start of the Chig conflict that are based on the lines of the JFK. Here is a top view of the ships:
I thought the show had potential. I wish they had more images of the ships as I had to make some significant guesses as to how they were supposed to look. Overall, I am happy with the results.

FSE Fleet

This is the full FSE Fleet. I will need to get some more old style fighters, however, it is pretty impressive as it stands. Additional photos can be seen in the FSE gallery.

FSE Jeanne D'Arc Fleet Carrier

One of the largest ships in the Tuffyverse. It carries 7 flight groups (more than the fleet carriers of other navies) and is heavily armed. It is also relatively mobile for such a large ship.

FSE Bologna Light Carrier

Now we come to the carriers. This is the smaller of the two. It can carry up to 4 fighter groups. Its size allows it to be well armed and stand in the battleline if needed.

FSE Foch Superdreadnought

Probably one of the largest human ships in the Tuffyverse. The Foch is a huge ship. For comparison, the base is 1.375 inches from flat to flat.

FSE Bonaparte Dreadnought

One of the "new designs" of the FSE. This was the first to leave the shipyards. There is a huge jump in size from the Roma to the Bonaparte

FSE Roma Battleship


This is the first of the heavy hitters in the FSE fleet. It uses an upgraded Ypres hull to add additional weapons. It probably is better classified as a heavy battlecruiser.
