          2 'Wolf' class carriers) Cargo=32Kl, PurePlant=24hr,
          Objsize=Lrg, EMlevel=Faint

Remarks:  Because of their small size, low cost and high fire power
'Wolf' class carriers are often called upon as commerce raiders.
A problem with the 'Wolf' class carriers shown in operation is
their slow refueling and low jump capacity.  While their irregular
configuration allows them to launch their fighters rapidly, they
can not skim fuel.

    The 'Cow' class tankers were concieved as a supplement to
'Wolf' operations.  A 'Cow' can easily support two 'Wolves'.  More
often it is called upon to support more by making multiple fuel
runs.

    When performing as commerce raiders, a single 'Wolf' and 'Cow'
will typically travel alone conserving fuel as much as possible to
allow multiple jumps giving the two ships sufficient fuel to travel
a total of jump 3 without refueling.

    Ships in class include:  Holstein, Kou, Doe, Mare, Jersey,
Heifer, Nanny, Vixen, Manatee, Bitch, Hen and Goose

          20 'Wolf' class carriers) Cargo=1277Kl, PurePlant=24hr,
          Objsize=Lrg, EMlevel=Faint

Remarks:  In order to use the heavy firepower of the 'Wolf'
carriers, they travel in large numbers.  Fleets of one hundred to
one thousand 'Wolves' are common.  These fleets are supported by
large numbers of '7-11' series tankers.

    Like the 'Wolf' carriers, the '7-11' tankers prefer to use
their emergency agility to their laser battery.  Normally, they
stay out of the fray and do not fight unless they can not run.

    Ships in class include:  Seven-Eleven, Gulf, Chevron, Mobil,
Shell, Merit, Exxon, Esso, Sunoco, Texaco, Amaco, Liberiya Maru,
Manaport, and BP
