The Kitty Hawk Class Carrier is a hybrid of the Hyperion and Nova class starships, but with a carrier role. This class served with distinction during the Earth-Minbari War and particularly at the Battle of the Line during the final hours of the conflict. The EAS Mitchell's crew rigged the nearly crippled vessels fusion-reactor as a group of Minbari warships closed range and took several of the 'bonehead' vessels with them.
