The Lexington-class ships are based on the IJS Ise and Hyuga see the Real Life section in the description.Also more obviously the Lexington-class battleship carriers in the Comet empire series, which had two battleship turrets in front, and a carrier deck in the back.In 1979 the series was dubbed and broadcast in English as Star Blazers, with the ship renamed the Argo as a Shout-Out to a similar story from Greek Mythology. From 1974, the Ur-Example is probably the Space Battleship Yamato.Both usually occupying the slot of "scariest thing around," but while the Battlestar is about the vessel's combined aircraft carrier/battleship nature, The Dreaded Dreadnought is about the tendency to call the scariest vehicle in a setting a "Dreadnought." Both fixtures of a Standard Sci-Fi Fleet, but both can and do appear in other settings. Not to be confused with the 1981 game show Battlestars, the elite Autobot fighters from Transformers: Return of Convoy, or John Walker's former sidekick.Ĭompare/Contrast with its primary competing/companion trope, The Dreaded Dreadnought. The largest ones may be examples of Mile-Long Ship or even Planet Spaceship. The Sidonia matches this type, as does the Enterprise -D. Its guns and air wing may very well have applications outside of combat, such as exploration, landing and dealing with the occasional Negative Space Wedgie. The ship is not a war vessel per se rather, it is an exploration or colony craft, armed out of necessity to have the widest array of available options.The TCS Tiger Claw are excellent examples of this This ship essentially behaves like a real life aircraft carrier, in that the primary offensive option is its embarked fighter wing, and the guns and armor lean more towards self defense options. The Battlestar Galactica is the epitome of this, along with the Space Battleship Yamato and Imperial Star Destroyers.
This is essentially a capital ship with the primary offensive options being its own big guns, with the fighters to serve as interceptors against incoming enemy strikes or to provide utility and ability for surgical strikes when main cannons are too blunt of an instrument. Naturally comes hand-in-hand with the Space Fighter given that strikecraft are an important part of a Battlestar, see also their Analysis page for some arguments on their use or lack thereof, which may have knock-on effects on the feasibility of Battlestars.Īs a general rule, the Battlestar is portrayed in one of three ways: May also have a "little brother", the Airborne Aircraft Carrier. This trope is named for the Battlestar note a portmanteau of battle star ship class of warships from Battlestar Galactica (1978), one of the first such depictions to reach widespread audiences.
