GURPS Traveller: Interstellar War TL9 Carrier with Small Craft

Below is a 2000Dton Carrier coming TL9. It is capable of 2 Jumps at Jump-1. The extra jump is for escape, it is not used if it cannot be helped. Because Terra is still working on a Jump-2, the jump comes in handy getting into 2 pasec systems when there is a friendly waiting on the other side.

It has a very conservative and early doctrine. It is not meant to go against the Vilani Imperium, but it can stand very well against a pirate fleet. Its missile volume is only 15+80.

Carriers are not meant to travel alone, at the least they have another Carrier and an escort of 4 TL9 Destoryers, and at least 2 Cruisers. Carriers and Escorts (2 CC, 2 CR, 4 DD). Wartime organization, its 2CC, 2BB, 4 DD with 2 DD Squadrons. 

The extra jump is so that when you go inbound into a system, you don't get trapped. I think given how the logistics of the Jump rules work many warships will need to be 2 jumps capable.

Disclaimer: the spreadsheet tool I made is pretty much my tinkering so sorry in advance for the inaccuracies. I will update all my work and put date stamps so that you know if it incorporates the newest corrections.
