Um, it was designed to carry fighters. Those two big hanger bays on the side of the ship didn't just happen by accident.

What I ment was it was not a carrier, its primary mission was not to carry them, it just had them as an added extra. Thus it wouldnt have lots of them.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Wasn't the first starship they had built to be a carrier? Though be it a small one.

I believe it's designation was DSC--Deep Space Carrier. Unfortunately I don't have the time or resources to look up an official reference.

Sorry.

There is not a problem in this world that can't be solved without the proper application of a sufficient number of thermonuclear ordnance.

I'd bet the Korolev was another "Deep Space Carrier"
