Black Knights Small Ship

The Black Knights Small Ship (黒の騎士国 小型可翔艦) is the Black Knights's mass-produced floatship, intended to be a more compact version of the Ikaruga. They served as the bulk of the United Federation of Nations aerial fleet, introduced first for the retaking of Japan to increase their military strength.

Design and Specifications
The Black Knights Small Ship is a comparatively smaller Floating Battleship compared to the Caerleon-class Floating Battleship. Instead, its role is to act as a vanguard to the Da Longdan-class Amphibious Floating Command Battleship and Ikaruga, primarily acting as a carrier for Knightmare Frames.

These floating battleships are equipped with two naval guns attatched on the wings and a single catapult launch system to launch out aerial knightmares. Due to the compact nature of the design, the bridge is located on the bottom of the ship.

Like all floating battleships, the Black Knights's variant has its own independent Float System.
